I just saw this on driving.ca (care of Google news) and am excited about the diesel as the base engine!!! I'm a little concerned what the cost of the optional equipment is, and what comes standard. Still, super excited about the XE!!!
I also think it'll do better than 8.0L/100km City and 6.0L/100km highway. BMW suggests the 328d does 6.5/4.5, so I'd expect no more than 6.8L/100km City and 4.9L/100km highway. I'd actually expect better, given Jag's extensive use of aluminium.
