The Jaguar XJ 3.0 litre Diesel has received a Green Apple Environment Award. The luxury saloon is being named Gold Winner for Luxury Green Vehicles. The award was voted for by members of the Midlands Group of Motoring Writers and presented by its Chairman, Ian Donaldson.
The XJ was launched in 2010 and has since become Jaguar’s award winning flagship saloon, with its Advanced Aluminium Architecture it’s capable of achieving 39.2 mpg. Still, it delivers nice performance with the 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 diesel developing 275PS (202 kW) and 600Nm (440 lb-ft) of torque. 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 266 km/h (165 mph).
