There is no doubt that Jaguar had the Mercedes-Benz E350CDI and BMW 530d in its sight when it introduced the 271bhp Diesel S model to its XF range in India. Before this, the XF was available only with a powerful yet thirsty petrol V8 engine. With the XF S, buyers will now have the option of buying into the British marque’s legacy while at the same time enjoying the benefits of diesel economy.
