The compact sports sedan from Jaguar will be built on an all-new, aluminum architecture. Last week, the company revealed details on its new Ingenium engine family, a least one of which will be offered in the XE at launch. Jaguar announced that the first volume production engine would be a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel engine, making it the first new engine to power the car. A 2.0-liter turbocharged gas engine will probably arrive later in the car’s life.
Other features in the upcoming sedan include integral link rear suspension, a new electric power assisted steering system and all surface progress control. Check back for more details on the all-new Jaguar XE when it makes its official debut September 8.
“We are on target to deliver a vehicle that dynamically outperforms our rivals,” Cross said.
