2018 Jaguar XE, XF, F-Pace updates with new engine options

Jaguar has announced changes and updates to its 2018 XE, XF, and F-Pace models, and the big one is a brand-new Ingenium four-cylinder engine. It replaces an older four-cylinder that was available on the 2017 XE line, and it will be the first gasoline four available on both the bigger XF sedan and the F-Pace crossover. The Ingenium engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder, that makes 247 hp and 269 pound-feet of torque, which are improvements of 7 hp and 18 lb-ft over the XE’s old turbocharged four. Plus, peak torque is also available a bit lower than with the previous engine, at 1,200 rpm versus 1,750.

It shares its architecture with the Ingenium diesel four-cylinder. The XE also gets some powertrain love at the top of the range, borrowing an engine from its bigger siblings. Jaguar is introducing a new XE S model with the 380-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V6. The big news for the XF is that its base price drops ever so slightly now that a four-cylinder model has been added. Read more
