The model that we see in the picture is a good test of the intentions that are responsible for Jaguar in this regard, we are talking about the new Jaguar XJ_e, representing an entire saloon capable of ensuring a consumption of only 3.2 l / 100 kms, something unimaginable today in any model of the brand.

As they say from the firm, this new model can cover a distance of 40 miles in electric mode thanks to its lithium-ion battery of 12.8 kW / h, which can be recharged in just four hours in any decision-conventional current.

In terms of mechanics, now its popular and powerful 5 liter V8 engine has been replaced by a 2-liter turbocharged engine, which in combination with the other 69 kW electric motor develops a combined output of 334 hp. With all this can speed up from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.5 seconds and top speed is self-limited stands at 250 km / h. One thing to keep in mind is that since these two motors can work together or indivualmente this luxury car benefits from an additional advantage, this is a range of no more and no less than 1,095 kilometers, and emissions are reduced to 75 g / km.
