Jaguar planning all-wheel drive XE; V8 version considered

Jaguar XE program director Nick Miller has disclosed some juicy details about the model's future.

 

About a month ago Miller announced coupe and wagon derivatives of the 2015 XE are being considered and now he admitted an all-wheel drive version is in the works and it will likely be one of the first updates to be applied on the firm's compact model. In addition, he also said the supercharged V8 5.0-liter engine is compatible with the XE and is being considered for a potential XE R / XE R-S high-performance variant.

 

Lastly, Miller said the AWD setup could be fitted on these higher performance flavors as well.
