Although the upcoming Jaguar XE was previously announced with just a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, it was hard to believe that Jaguar wasn't going to put something spicier under the hood of their first proper 3-Series competitor.
AutoGuide reports that Jaguar leaked (intentionally, or otherwise…who knows, these days?) that a supercharged V6 will be available on the XE. In the F-Type (as well as the Jaguar XF, XJ and various Land Rover products), the base engine puts out 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, more than enough to compete with the Audi S4 and BMW 335i. In the F-Type V6S, that figure rises to 380 horsepower and 339 lb-ft.
The aluminum construction of the F-Type and the 8-speed gearbox help the two V6 cars to hit 20/28/23 mpg (city/highway/combined) in the base car and 19/27/22 mpg in the V6S. The XE might even be able to surpass that figure.
