SAAB 9-5 2001 vs Jaguar X-Type 2001
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.0 Diesel | 3.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (SAAB 9-5) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Jaguar X-Type) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 177 HP | 231 HP | |
| Torque: | 350 NM | 284 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 9.3 seconds | 7 seconds | |
|
Jaguar X-Type is a more dynamic driving. SAAB 9-5 engine produces 54 HP less power than Jaguar X-Type, but torque is 66 NM more than Jaguar X-Type. Due to the lower power, SAAB 9-5 reaches 100 km/h speed 2.3 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 7.3 | 10.3 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 7.5 l/100km | 12.2 l/100km | |
|
The SAAB 9-5 is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification SAAB 9-5 consumes 3 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Jaguar X-Type, which means that by driving the SAAB 9-5 over 15,000 km in a year you can save 450 litres of fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, SAAB 9-5 consumes 4.7 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Jaguar X-Type. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 75 litres | 61 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1020 km in combined cycle | 590 km in combined cycle | |
| 1290 km on highway | 790 km on highway | ||
| 1000 km with real consumption | 500 km with real consumption | ||
| SAAB 9-5 gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | |
|
Jaguar X-Type 2001: Vehicle has full-time all-wheel drive with 60/40 front-to-rear torque split via viscous-coupling, locking planetary differential. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 510'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Jaguar X-Type engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 4 years | 12 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Jaguar XF, Jaguar S-Type | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Jaguar X-Type might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
