A new 2.2 diesel engine for the Jaguar XF is one of a range of improvements to the Jaguar range that have been launched at the New York Auto Show, writes Brian Byrne.
The 190hp power unit provides an 8.5 seconds 0-100km/h performance, and brings the entry level version to a Band C in Irish tax terms.
There are also new exterior design changes, based on some of the cues used in the newer XJ. These include new front lights and LED DRLs, and there's also a lower bonnet line with a 'power bulge' running the length of the middle. Tail lamp units have also been redesigns, and inside there's refreshed trim and fittings. Further details have been changed on the XFR high-end version.
The XK range has also been upgraded, using details shown on the XKR-S shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March. These include headlight style changes. At the rear it gets the Jaguar 'Leaper' badge as was introduced with the first XF.
