Have JLR announced which wheels will be driven yet ? RGCorris ( talk) 19:49, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
I attempted to remove this line twice, both edits were reverted, as they were automatically classified as vandalism.
I can understand the bot removing these edits but I feel like it is a stupid place for a stupid line to begin with. First off, the sentence is US-specific. In Europe the XE will be available as a diesel (as indicated in the info bar[?] on the right), so this fact should be reserved for a section of the article dedicated to the US model and its specifications. Especially in the 'Overview' section it looks out of place, where it does not relate or add on to the previous paragraph at all.
Second, the sentence doesn't actually indicate this is only true for the US model, it just says 'as with all Jaguars sold in the US', which includes Jaguars also being sold in the US but also in Europe, while in Europe diesel variants have been available.
A better version would be "As with all US Jaguar models, the US variant of the XE will not be sold with a diesel engine."

@ CplDHicks2: I'm not sure that we should be describing the Ford-supplied 2-litre petrol engine (as used in the early XEs) as a Ford EcoBoost engine. It is true that the engine was supplied by Ford, and it is true that the engine was made in the same factory as 2-litre EcoBoost engines, and it is true that the engine shared much of its design with the EcoBoost engine, but the engine was not a standard EcoBoost engine - it had design differences, and it was not badged as an EcoBoost engine. An article of 8 September 2014 in WhatCar? describes the engines as being "Ford units, modified to JLR’s requirements" (my underlining) and one in The Independent of 25 May 2015 says the "petrol XEs will use engines based on Ford's Ecoboost" (my underlining). I think we should re-phrase our descriptions of the engine to avoid it sounding like the XE used a standard Ford EcoBoost engine. -- DeFacto ( talk). 22:48, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
