Jaguar introduces an all-new efficient and powerful 296-horsepower version of the Ingenium four-cylinder gasoline engine to the 2018 XE and XF sedans, as well as the F-PACE performance SUV models.

The 2.0-liter four-cylinder Ingenium gasoline engine produces 295-lb.-ft. of torque for exceptional acceleration. That's enough to power the XE sports sedan from 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds for the all-wheel drive model with a highway fuel economy rating of 28 mpg.

The new four-cylinder engine, badged 30t, benefits from the latest Jaguar Land Rover engine technology, including twin-scroll turbos with ceramic ball bearings to reduce friction and a high flow compressor wheel for enhanced performance.

Paired with an advanced ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, this drivetrain delivers exceptionally smooth acceleration with seamless gearshifts and outstanding responses. For the XE sedan, customers can also choose between rear and all-wheel drive.

The introduction of the powerful new engine is the latest in a series of enhancements to the XE, XF and F-PACE. Earlier this year the range of advanced Ingenium engines expanded to include a 247-horsepower version of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine.

Further updates for the 2018 model year derivatives include available convenience features such as a Gesture Controlled Trunk Lid for the XE. Models also benefit from the very latest driver assistance technologies including optional Forward Vehicle Guidance and Forward Traffic Detection

The strongly sculpted hood creates a taut, muscular appearance. The rising waistline adds to the sense of movement. The spacious cabin cocoons front seat passengers with a deep center console which creates a cockpit-like feel.

The Jaguar XE features a sophisticated double wishbone front suspension. The aluminum front spindles are light and stiff. This system delivers lateral and longitudinal stiffness for precise handling and a supple ride.
