New Jaguar XF imported for homologation

Jaguar had displayed the new XF sedan at the 2016 Auto Expo earlier this year. Now the company has imported the car for homologation. It was spotted on a flatbed while being transported to the ARAI facility.

While the car spotted is reported to sport a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, a search on Zauba reveals that Jaguar has also imported a couple of XFs with a 2.0-litre diesel engine.

The 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder unit comes in two states of tune - 160 BHP & 380 Nm and 178 BHP & 430 Nm. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine is from Jaguar's Ingenium engine family.

Jaguar has been unable to sell the XF diesel in New Delhi since the Supreme Court has banned the registration of all diesel vehicles with engines over 2,000cc in the city. The introduction of the new engines will allow Jaguar to sell the XF diesel in the national capital once again.

The XF competes with the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
