Jaguar Luxury Sedan 2 liter turbo petrol engine in India

Jaguar is one of the top class brands of Britain, which presently lies in hands of Tata Motors. Jaguar’s XJ, a flagship sedan will now get a 2 liter turbo petrol engine for India. This is an ecoboost petrol engine which has been supplied by Ford and it makes out nice figures like 232 Bhp and 340Nm of torque.

Tata motors owned Jaguar and Land Rover in 2008, but before that these brands were owned by Ford. After coming under Tata motors umbrella Jaguar and Land Rover continued using Ford supplied engines but now Tata motors is developing petrol and diesel trims for Jaguar and Land Rover.

The key formula of the 2liter ecoboost engine is that it uses turbo charging and direct injection to get maximum power and torque. Presently Jaguar’s XJ-L and Range Rover Evoque uses the ecoboost 2 liter engine.

This 2 liter, four cylinder ecoboost turbo petrol engine is mated to an eight speed of gear box, which picks up 0to 100Kmph in just 7.5seconds at a top speed of 225Kmph.
