The Jaguar XF has been updated for 2019 with a range of RDE2-compliant diesel engines, becoming the first executive saloon to meet upcoming emissions regulation changes.
Although RDE2 compliance won’t become mandatory for manufacturers until January 2021, meeting emissions targets will make the XF saloon and XF Sportbrake estate.
The 161bhp and 178bhp rear-wheel-drive diesel variants of both cars now avoid a 4% benefit-in-kind surcharge affecting non-compliant diesel cars in the UK. According to Jaguar, this could result in company car drivers saving up to £2304 over three years, and private buyers saving up to £245 in first-year vehicle excise duty.
