2010 Jaguar XF Diesel S: 0 to 60 in 5.9 secs

AJ-V6D Gen III S 3.0L twin-turbo diesel with 275-hp and 443 lb-ft torque. 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds; top

speed of 155 mph. Estimated fuel-economy of 42mpg (35 mpg U.S.).

Prior to the launch of the Jaguar XF-R which is scheduled for the 2009 Detroit Motor Show next month,

Jaguar has dropped the details on the new 2010 Jaguar XF Diesel S.

Powered by the most advanced, powerful and efficient Jaguar diesel engine ever, the 275-hp XF V6 diesel can

go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds and 50 to 70 mph in 3.2 seconds. Even with that performance level, the

XF Diesel S averages an estimated fuel-economy of 35 mpg. Jaguar says that it is 12 percent more efficient

than the 2.7L V6 diesel XF and offers 33 percent more power and 61 percent more torque. The engine is mated

to Jaguar’s 6-speed ZF 6HP28 automatic transmission.

There is also a 240-hp version of the 3.0L diesel engine available as well. It gets 16 percent more power

and 15 percent more torque over the 2.7L diesel. 0 to 60 mph comes in just 6.7 seconds while fuel-economy

comes in at the same 35 mpg.

Pricing for the 2010 Jaguar XF Diesel S and the 2010 Jaguar XF Diesel will be announced closer to its

launch date. Unfortunately, there is no word whether the models will make it to the U.S. to take on the

upcoming BMW 535d.
