Jaguar Land Rover to Unveil Diesel Offerings

Jaguar Land Rover has announced new vehicle announcements including an all-new model to the Jaguar lineup, the d, and diesel power options for most of its luxury line up, beginning with the 2016 MY Range Rover and Range Rover Sport luxury SUVs.

The company also will debut the all-new Jaguar XE.

The production version of the breakthrough C-X17 concept car, the Jaguar F-PACE extends the model lineup into the compact crossover market. It features a stylish aluminum architecture that can comfortably seat five adults.

Joe Eberhardt, President and CEO Jaguar Land Rover North America, commented, “We intend to roll out fuel-efficient diesel powered vehicles across Jaguar and Land Rover lineups on virtually every model over the next 3 years. Starting with the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Td6 Diesel, this Fall, almost every vehicle in the Jaguar and Land Rover line up will offer an optional diesel powertrain delivering anywhere from 20 to 30 percent improvement in fuel economy versus the comparable gasoline version.”

The first two new diesel powered models to go on sale in North America will be the Land Rover Range Rover Td6 and Range Rover Sport Td6, both capable of delivering 25 miles-per-gallon combined, a 32 percent improvement compared to their gasoline supercharged V6 equivalent.

Power is derived from the company’s 3-liter Td6 turbocharged V6 diesel engine which delivers effortless performance thanks to 254 horsepower and a low-end torque output of 440 lb-ft. Making its North American debut is the all-new Jaguar XE compact luxury sport sedan.

When it goes on sale in North America in 2016, the Jaguar XE will come with a choice of 340 hp supercharged V6, also found in the Jaguar F-TYPE, and the company’s new Ingenium diesel engine.
