Jaguar released today a couple of spy images of the XF facelift. Under the pretext of revealing info about a new engine they're developing, Jaguar released two images of a camouflaged XF prototype. If you look closely at the photos, you'll notice that the camouflaged XF facelift prototype shows a new headlight design and bonnet profile.

Powered by the new unit, the Jaguar XF facelift should offer a 52.3 mpg fuel consumption on the combined cycle and a 149 g/km CO2 emissions level.

displacement and comes equipped with a water-cooled turbocharger with low-friction pistons, new injectors and a new crankshaft.

The start Stop technology is expected to improve fuel efficiency by up to 7%. Jaguar took special care so that the new 2.2 diesel of the facelifted XF will make less noise than current models.
