Clean Diesel

First Drive: 2017 Jaguar XE

The compact 2017 Jaguar XE is pitted against the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class while the 2017 F-Pace will be Jaguar’s first foray into crossover territory. Both will feature a shared diesel powerplant in their entry level trim, which will set them apart from the competition.

First Drive: 2016 Nissan Titan XD
