Jaguar Launches XE Diesel in India at Rs

The highly awaited Diesel version of the Jaguar XE beast has finally made it to the country at an affordable price of Rs. 38.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the base variant. The three variants available in the diesel option include Pure, Prestige and Portfolio. The company has quoted the price of the diesel mill Rs. 1 lakh higher than the petrol one, which is costing Rs. 37.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This launch took more than a year's time!

Talking about the engine specs, the new diesel sedan in the XE portfolio is energized by a 2.0-litre Ingenium mill mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, which churns out a maximum power of 180PS along with a peak torque of 430Nm. This is the same engine that is powering its elder siblings – Jaguar F-Pace SUV and the mighty XF. Earlier the XE models were only available in petrol options hence the customers interested in buying the diesel variant were falling short of options.
