Where each one leads
Chrysler 300
- On Canada's official test the most frugal 2023 Chrysler 300 uses 10.3 l/100 km, the 2019 Jaguar XJR 13.3.
Jaguar XJR
- Against cars of the same year, the Jaguar XJR comes out better in New York safety inspections (fails 27% less often than average) than the Chrysler 300 (fails 5% more often than average).
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
