Jaguar XE-E on the way with eco models set to get 'E' badge

Spy shots of Jaguar XE reveal new 'E' badge to denote most frugal and efficient models

Jaguar XE-E spy shots

Our spies have caught the Jaguar XE wearing a new badge – but this time it’s the most efficient model in the range. A blue E will be used to denote the most frugal and lowest CO2 emitting models across the entire Jaguar line-up.

German rivals already do a similar thing, with the Ultra name reserved for the most fuel-efficient Audis and BMW using the ED initials for those cars with the full range of EfficientDynamics technologies.

The car in our picture is powered by the 161bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine from Jaguar Land Rover’s new Wolverhampton-built Ingenium engine family, which in the XE emits just 99g/km of CO2 and claims an average of 75mpg.

The same engine will also be used in the new XF-E, where emissions will be 104g/km and average economy is set to be just over 70mpg.

Land Rover has already announced that the most efficient version of the facelifted Evoque, revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, will feature a blue Evoque badge. That car also gets the 161bhp Ingenium engine.

The same engine will slot into the new Discovery Sport model later this year, and we’d expect that car to receive a similar blue badge treatment to the Evoque.
