The manufacturer will equip two of its three models with the smaller engines, including a 4-cylinder, not offered by Jaguar since 1948. "We have only V-8s in a market that has moved to six-cylinder", said Andy Goss, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America.

 On the XF sedan, Jaguar will offer a 2.0-litre, 240-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder - a serious rival to the BMW 5 Series and the Cadillac STS, among others. The 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 will be available on the XF (340-hp) and on the larger XJ (380-hp). These new engines will be teamed with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Fuel economy ratings for these new engines will be released in August.
