The forthcoming model range of
Jaguar
will not include hybrid powertrains, the chief program engineer for XE
has confirmed. While speaking to the media, Nick Miller said the brand
is in no rush towards a hybridized future, especially in the market
segment of
medium-sized luxury cars.
The Jaguar XE is the first model that comes with the new Ingenium
engine fitted into its variants. It will have a 2.0L four-cylinder,
diesel engine with fuel consumption of only 3.8L/100km.
The new engine is however capable of handling
hybrid components, giving the British car manufacturer a second chance to consider making hybrid powertrains just like its key rivals
Mercedes-Benz,
BMW and
Audi who have developed the Mercedes-Benz C300, the BMW ActiveHybrid 3 and Audi A4 respectively. Read More:
