The XF Diesel S will have a combined average fuel consumption of 42mpg UK.

The outside of the Diesel S XF will feature a new set of 19-inch wheels, a new aerodynamic boot lid spoiler and discreet ‘S’ badging.

Jaguar have also said that they have performed a range of ’significant trim and specification changes’ which will include a new luxurious Portfolio version.
