We Say: Retains Its Enthusiast Dynamics, But With A More Practical Heart

Aatish Mishra
Jaguar XE 20d

The Jaguar XE was only available with a petrol engine for the longest time in India, and we got one with a diesel engine mid last year. So this isn’t a new car, but it is important – you see, the diesels are what rake in the moolah in this segment.

Under the hood of this XE 20d is the familiar 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel that we have already seen in the XF, the Discovery Sport and the Evoque. The Ingenium family of engines is interesting: parts can be shared between petrols and diesels, and they are ready to be hybridised in the future. They are supposed to be more fuel efficient, while being lighter (courtesy their all-aluminium construction) and offering more performance.

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE

Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived. Among their friends and neighbours, one particular gentleman, upon learning I was a budding petrolhead, took an entire day off work to take me around the city’s showrooms to see some “normal” Middle East traffic.
