I agree
even as far back as three years ago the BMW 2.0 efficient dynamics engine was down to 109g/km Co2. In fact, the Sunday Times compared that and the 1.6 Blue Motion Passat. Both cars managed over 1000 miles per tank full in these tests. Of what i recall, the Passat was slightly ahead on consumption, but not by much. There is an important object lesson here. If Jaguar want to crack the all important fleet market, which is apprently shrinking, they need this new 3 Series wannabe to be super efficient at the very least.
So the XF is still miles away
So the XF is still miles away from the 5-Series and E-Class in terms of efficiency, despite the improvements. I think it will continue to be nowhere near as successful as those two as a company car, which is where the bulk of sales for these cars lies.
