Diesel Jag tankful lasts 1k miles
Running an XJ TD costs less says Jaguar
XJ at John O'Groats
The XJ TDVi completed the trip from John O'Groats to Land’s End – a distance of 840 miles – with average fuel consumption of 53.5mpg. Having reached Land’s End, the driver headed back to Jaguar's Midlands HQ without refuelling and reached a total of 1000.2 miles before the tank ran dry.
Jaguar puts the feat down to the XJ's aluminium technology and its twin-turbocharged V6 diesel engine. According to Jaguar, the XJ TDVi was standard and was complete with satellite-navigation, CD auto-changer, Premium Sound and rear DVD screens.

The XJ TDVi Diesel boasts an average fuel consumption figure of 35mpg (8.1l/100km) combined cycle, 26.0mpg (10.8l/100km) Urban and 43.7mpg (6.5l/100km) Extra Urban and produces just 214g/km CO2, which is outstanding for a car offering the space, comfort and performance of the award-winning XJ. This also equals 29 per cent in the Benefit In Kind tax category which means the XJ 2.7 TDVi has the lowest company car tax bill of any car in the luxury sector.
The XJ 2.7 TDVi has an insurance group of 15E, giving it a best-in-class rating ahead of the 18E rated Mercedes S 320 CDi and a two group improvement over the BMW and Audi equivalent models.
UK MD Geoff Cousins said: "We were always optimistic that the XJ Diesel could do this, but the figures we achieved were beyond our best expectations and show that the XJ 2.7 TDVi is a truly economical luxury car. Following the recent questions about the UK Government offering its ministers the choice of a Jaguar XJ Diesel, this proves how the XJ really is one of the most environmentally friendly cars in its class."
The XJ 2.7 TDVi costs from £43,995 on-the-road – petrol engines are also available.
