Published: 9th May 2005

The end result is a state-of-the-art four-cylinder unit that produces 155PS and 360Nm (EEC) of torque, which is available from as low as 1800rpm. An overtaking ‘overboost’ facility provides an immense 400Nm of torque to allow for even more instantaneous response and consequently safer motoring. To cope with these significant loads, Jaguar is also introducing a new six-speed manual transmission to ensure even more relaxed high-speed driving and reduced CO2 emissions.
The new Jaguar X-TYPE 2.2D will go on sale from September this year, meaning that new and existing customers in the compact market will have even more reason to enjoy the Jaguar they have always dreamed of.
"The new 2.2 litre engine gives X-TYPE Diesel customers more of what we know they like: more power, more refinement and of course more choice," says Jaguar Cars Managing Director, Bibiana Boerio. "The 2.0 litre turbo diesel that signalled Jaguar's arrival in the diesel market, has proved a great success for us across Europe - and we have every expectation that this new model will be even more popular."

Engineering The New 2.2D
The new 2.2 litre Diesel engine now available in the X-TYPE produces one of the highest torque figures of any four-cylinder engine on sale today (360Nm EEC at 1800-2250rpm, with 400Nm overboost). Yet thanks to its enhanced fuel injection system, turbocharger and exhaust gas controls it also manages to create just 159g in the saloon (and 164g in the Estate) of CO2/km making it one of the cleanest cars in its class. On top of that it is one of the most refined thanks to detailed fine-tuning of the new engine as well as the transmission and sound-proofing materials.
"Our goals for the new 2.2 litre Diesel were simple enough; deliver a car that offers more performance than the 2.0 litre with everything else either equal or better," reveals Jaguar Cars Managing Director, Bibiana Boerio. "We've achieved that and Jaguar's diesel line-up continues to expand - and we haven't finished yet."
