Jaguar Creates Short Film Charting the XF Diesel

We could be wrong, but it looks increasingly possible that Jaguar may be testing the waters to see if there's any interest in its new diesel-powered version of the XF premium saloon in the States.

Following the completion of the 2,884-miles coast-to-coast trip in a standard, UK-registered, right-hand drive XF 2.2D, the British automaker has now released a short film recording bits and pieces from the journey made by independent testers, David and Alexander Madgwick, mixed with facts about the car.

Too bad Jaguar's marketing team didn't create a time-lapse video charting the entire trip from New York City to Los Angeles in a few minutes – now, that would have been something.

In its North American release, Jaguar also clarified that the XF 2.2D recorded an average fuel economy of 52 MPG US and a peak economy of 55.7 MPG that was achieved on the penultimate day of the trip in the southwest US.
