When did Jaguar come out with a diesel engine?
Jaguar entered into the market for Diesel cars very late in time and long after Mercedes and BMW did. They were then under the ownership of Ford who had several diesel engines across their various car models. The then Government were supporting the manufacture and usage of diesel engine as they gave out less CO 2.
How often do Jaguar XF 2.7 diesels get used?
The cars do around 80k/yr and are used 24/7. The 2.7 diesels were horrendous and we constant engine problems including a number of replacement units. They constantly broke down. They had a habit of starting, driving to a job and then they refused to restart.
Which is better XJ 2.7 or 3.0 diesel?
I’m still thinking about getting a current-gen XJ. The vast majority of used XJs in the UK are 3.0 diesel, so although I’m not a big fan of diesel generally, I probably need to go for it in order to have a reasonable choice of colour/spec. Try to avoid the 2.7, the 3.0 D is more reliable, stronger and sounds a hell of a lot nicer to boot.
What kind of engine does the Jaguar XF have?
Jaguar [under Ford] did produce some rather good diesel engines and the cars in which they were installed did sell very well. When TATA bought Jaguar they built an large engine plant near Wolverhampton which made the Ingenium engine in both diesel and petrol versions which are also very good engines.
