Jaguar introduces XE and XF 300 Sport Edition

KUALA LUMPUR: The British car brand owned by Tata Motors has announced that by 2025 there will be no Jaguar with combustion engines. Until that happens, Jaguar will be electrifying its existing models to limit emission and fuel consumption. It was only recently that the automaker introduced the mild-hybrid F-Pace Sport version, and now the automaker has done the same for the XE and XF sedans.

The stylish-looking Jaguar XF and XE now benefit from a 300 Sport variant. Like the F-Pace 300 Sport Edition, the new XE and XF 300 Sport versions are also powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine making a maximum power output of 300 PS (hence justifying the version’s moniker) along with a peak torque of 400 Nm. The drive is sent to the all-wheel-drive system vis an 8-speed automatic transmission system.

On the performance front, the Jaguar XE 300 Sport variant can touch the 96 kmph mark in just 5.6 seconds and the 100 kmph mark in 5.9 seconds. The XF 300 Sport, on the other hand, being the bigger (thus heavier) sedan, takes an extra two-tenth of a second to touch the century mark. The top speed for both the models is the same at 250 kmph.

Jaguar XE & XF 300 Sport Edition other inclusion being -

• 20-inch wheels with different finishes & designs (depending on the model)
• Several solid & metallic hues; including Carpathian Grey and Silicon Silver
• Monogram Aluminium veneers (for XE cabin)
• Satin Charcoal Ash veneer (for XF cabin)
• Metal finish shift paddles & pedals

Like all the existing Jaguar models, the new XE and XF 300 Sport Edition models will benefit from the Amazon Alexa voice control system via the Pivi Pro infotainment system.

Even the existing XE and XF owners can get their infotainment system equipped with Amazon Alexa support via an over-the-air update.
