JAGUAR says its new 75 miles per gallon XE model will offer the lowest cost of ownership of any of its premium rivals.
The company says CAP has predicted that over three years or 30,000 miles the car will retain 45 per cent of its value, putting it ahead of two of its main competitors, the BMW 3 Series and the Audi A4.
The new aluminium bodied XE will be available early next year with a choice of both diesel and petrol engines.
