The more expensive XF Diesel S will have 275-hp and 600Nm of torque. The acceleration will allow the car to get from 0-96km/h in only 5.9 seconds. The top speed will be electronically limited to 250km/h.

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.

The UK XF 3.0-litre diesel model will start at £33,900 while the new 3.0-litre Diesel S starts at £36,900. The XF models will be ready in Europe from March 2009.
