They’ve rolled in quietly, without any fanfare, and they’re doing very well indeed. Jaguar’s diesel variants of the XF and XJ have begun selling in Malaysia, and both Diesel S jobs are pretty much being snapped up the moment they arrive.
Both the XF and XJ diesels are similarly equipped with a AJ-V6D Gen III S 3.0 litre turbodiesel mill, offering 271 hp at 4,000 rpm and 600 Nm at 2,000 rpm, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Performance-wise, the lump is listed as giving both models an identical 0-100 kph time of 6.4 seconds and a 250 kph electronically-limited top speed (the cars weigh in at around the same, and in fact the XF is heavier at 1,820 kg to the XJ’s 1,813 kg).
Pricing-wise, the XF Diesel S rolls in at RM499,888, which is just a shade above the 3.0 V6 petrol version’s RM488,888, while the XJ Premium Luxury LWB Diesel S is priced at RM699,888, a very enticing alternative to the 5.0 Premium Luxury V8 petrol variant, considering its asking price is loads lower than the latter’s RM958,888.
Some notes on the XF – the Diesel S isn’t the facelifted version of the car, but the news is that the 2011 model year XF should be arriving on these shores soon. XF fans will of course have to be very patient for the new 187 hp 2.2 litre option of the car to arrive here.

Yes yes yes, woohooooo!!!
more diesel power
2.2 liter 187hp XF… the natural competitor to the BMW 520d. Wonder how much it will be priced at.
It’s okay to run this jaguar diesel engine with our diesel?
Paul I think the price will be slightly higher than BMW since jaguar is more premium than BMW :)
If I am not mistaken same 187hp/420Nm engine is running in the Landrover Freelander currently on sale by SDAC.
Yup definitely they’ll do high 300s or more likely low 400s seeing as the bigger diesel engine is high 400s. CBU = more tax, and engine capacity also in a higher bracket cos higher than 2,000cc.
Run on Euro 2 ok or not???? Later like Merc CDI all koyak…
Its so overpriced in Malaysia lah. The XF is so cheap in the UK. And after 3 years, the value becomes 1/3 the value. So, in 3 years your car is like 10,000 pounds. Here, the XF, even recond car, 3 years old also, selling for RM400,000
AP holder banyank untung. Buy 10,000 pounds, sell RM400,000
Paul, what a shock to hear this about the engine. We pay premium not just for the comfort of a car but also the engine. If this engine also in the Land Rover, why pay a premium?
no wonder so many imported used cars..a/p will never be abolished, such good profit wow. bolehland
The last batch BMW E60 3.0 Diesel was priced at 499k, used to be 423k. No longer practical nor luxury at the price line. Jaguar 2.2 diesel was under power 2-3 years ago. It should be priced around 340k as the BMW or lower, depending on the luxury package. I expected the Evoque to be priced below 300k but it costs more than the BMW X1. No value for money 5* safety and nice cars… Don’t buy overpriced cars, it contributes to the corrupted G.
Good luck in selling in Malaysia.
We still have some rich ah peks around, no worries.
the XJ is as huge as a panamera… damn!
Jaguar still have pre-facelift XF?? come on laa, bring the new XF face.
JAGUAR XF LOVE IT TILL THE MAX ^^
Why are they just launching an old stock, pre facelift XF? The new one has been launched for a couple of months already in the UK.
The pre-facelift XF Diesel S has been selling for a while – there was no official launch for it. The 2011 model year petrol XF is on its way in, as stated in the story.
