Jaguar has literally made the best of both worlds! The new diesel powered XF offers good power, an enormous amount of torque, extremely good fuel efficiency and as a result of that, less pollution.

The 3.0 liter V6 diesel, as the top pf the range engine develops 275 hp and 600 nm of torque! To get a picture of how big that is check this out : a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 with 5.0 liter V10 engine has only 540 nm! So the car has no shortage in terms of performance and dynamics. It owes its strength to its tweaked common-rail technology and two Garret turochargers which have variable geometry. It uses a ZF made six-speed gearbox through its fancy circular nob.

But it’s a diesel afterall, so is it jerky and noisy and ,in brief, horrible? Well if you are familiar with the V6 diesel in the current Jaguar XJ, which this new engine is based upon that, you know that it’s one of the smoothest and nicest diesel engines ever built! So no worries in that sense either.

And we haven’t got to the best point yet! The fuel economy. We all know that diesel cars are not heavy with fuel naturally because they have good torque power so they go well with less throttle load, but this Jag has took it to the next level. It burns only 6.8 liters per 100 kilometers, and it’s pretty damn good! The petrol-powered equivalents easily double that number. The car also covers all European standards for air pollution some of which are mandatory from 2011 (Euro 5).

So, it’s not only Germans who make good diesel cars, Brits can do it well, too. And as far as we see, they’ve beaten Germans by miles! This is currently the only desirable diesel car! They also make a cheaper version with 245 hp and 500nm of torque. Jaguar XF diesel will come in April.
