Followup: Jaguar completes coast-to-coast U.S. road trip in diesel XF

It’s not every day that you see a diesel Jaguar XF on these shores. In fact, at least officially, there’s only one. And it just completed a cross-country road trip that took it from New York to Los Angeles.
The trip kicked off last week in the Big Apple and just wrapped up earlier this week in LA. Over the course of the eight-day journey across eleven states, three time zones and 2,884 miles, the bone-stock XF with the 2.2-liter diesel four averaged a highly impressive 62.9 miles per gallon (even better than the previous European tour), hitting a peak of 67 mpg as it approached the West Coast.
Not too shabby, especially for a luxury sedan that is, at the end of the day, anything but a lightweight. Check out the updated image gallery to see how the oil-burning Jag progressed, and follow the jump for the official press release.

Official: Jaguar driving diesel XF across the U.S.

Filed under: Sedan, Jaguar, Diesel, Luxury
The first diesel Jaguar XF has arrived in the United States. But it’s not destined for a showroom, and it’s not headed to a waiting customer. No, Jaguar has slightly more ambitious plans for this particular oil-burning sedan.
The 2.2-liter diesel four will propel this XF on a cross-country journey that will take it from New York to Los Angeles – a trip across eleven states covering 2,800 miles – over the course of seven days. The goal is to see how far the car can travel on a single tank of fuel, and follows a similar exercise undertaken in Europe that took a different XF diesel across 816 miles from Castle Bromwich in the UK to Munich, Germany, on a single tank, returning an average of 57 miles per gallon on the EU cycle.
Observers can track this trip’s progress on the company’s Facebook page and Twitter feed, and we’ll be sure to report on the venture’s results once it’s reached the Pacific coast. Details in the press release after the jump.
