The First generation of XF was an indication that the evolution has been started on the jaguar cars, but the second generation of Jaguar XF has proved that it has been evolved in previous years into a fiendishly clever Jaguar. There is a big difference between an old model and a newly introduced version. The newer one is well designed and lighter in weight. It is just because of the old platform, a crooked and mostly consist of steel, donated by Ford. This platform has been superceded by the new version which is mostly based on aluminium. It is called aluminium modular architecture that underpins the Jaguar XE.
Jaguar claims that the new model has reduced a 190kg of its weight, which is more than enough for a salon based version. The new model is powered by a new engine line-up, now featuring the most advanced four-cylinder Ingenium engines.

The new engine has four cylinders with turbo diesel technology. It offers a power output of 177bhp from 4000rpm and offers a hefty torque of 317lb-ft. The full delivery of torque started from 1750 rpm and continue until it reaches to 2500rpm.
