The model was launched at the March 2014 Geneva Motor Show, with production beginning in April 2015. The vehicle was announced, but not displayed, at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.[2] It had its world première on 8 September 2014 in London.[7][8] Sales were expected to begin globally in 2015, followed by the United States in 2016.[9] Production formally commenced on 13 April 2015 at Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull plant Engines The XE is powered by the new Jaguar Land Rover 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine range called Ingenium, as well as a Ford-sourced 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine (which will be replaced by an Ingenium-based petrol engine in 2016[10]) and the new Jaguar 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol engine used by the F-Type.[11][12] The V6 engines features in higher performance variants.[12] The Ingenium 2.0-litre engine family will come on both petrol and diesel variants and in a range of different power outputs. The 2.0-litre diesel producing 163 PS (120 kW; 161 hp) plays a part in reducing the overall averaged fuel consumption and carbon emission figures of new Jaguars, being capable of beating the 25 km/L (4.0 L/100 km; 59 mpg-US) barrier, and producing CO2 emissions of 99 g/km.[13][14] The cleanest models in Britain will have Vehicle Excise Duty charged at £0 per year.[5] Jaguar's Special Operations division will prepare a high performance variant to compete with the Audi RS 4, the BMW M3 and the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. This model will use the Jaguar AJ-V8 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, developing 500 PS (370 kW; 490 hp).[15] Engine 2.0 (1999 cc) diesel 4 6-speed manual 161 bhp (120 kW; 163 PS) 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) 99 g/km 132 mph (212 km/h) 8.4 s 2.0 (1999 cc) diesel 4 8-speed auto 161 bhp (120 kW; 163 PS) 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) 104 g/km 132 mph (212 km/h) 8.2 s 2.0 (1999 cc) diesel 4 6-speed man/8-speed auto 178 bhp (133 kW; 180 PS) 316 lb·ft (428 N·m) 109 g/km 140 mph (225 km/h) 7.7 s 2.0 (1999 cc) petrol 4 6-speed manual 197 bhp (147 kW; 200 PS) 206 lb·ft (279 N·m) 179 g/km 147 mph (237 km/h) 7.7 Transmission The XE will initially be produced as a rear-wheel drive design, but the Jaguar iQ[Al] modular architecture is capable of accommodating an all-wheel drive (AWD) layout, and it is expected AWD versions of the XE will be launched in 2016, allowing the XE to compete with Audi Quattro and BMW xDrive models.[16] All XE models are equipped with a ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic transmission, a lighter variant of the gearbox currently fitted to other Jaguar models and the competing BMW 3 Series.[14] A six-speed ZF manual gearbox is available on diesel models.[7][16] Expertise developed for Jaguar's sister brand, Land Rover has been used in the development of a traction control system called All Surface Progress Control, developed from the Terrain Response system fitted to Land Rover's range of off-road vehicles. This system allows for better traction in snow and ice, conditions traditionally regarded as challenging for rear-wheel drive cars.
