However, these engines seem to have eluded the full size S-Class/7-Series luxury car segment so far. Until now of course. Jaguar is one of the very few automakers who have replaced their entry level normally 3.0 litre V6 engine with a turbocharged four cylinder for their flagship the XJ. Its German counterparts have done the same for the smaller class of cars, but they've to date maintained large normally aspirated six cylinder engines for the entry level versions of their flagships. Yes, Audi has a 2.0 litre motor in the A8 Hybrid, but that's packaged as a hybrid. So for now, the XJ 2.0 Ti is truly unique in its class. Read more to find out our take on the four-cylinder XJ.
