Why does this story matter?
Jaguar will stop manufacturing vehicles with combustion engines three years from now and has hence started electrifying its range to reduce emissions. The XE and XF sedans have been up for grabs for quite some time, and the introduction of their mild-hybrid variants should boost their sales. A lot of customers in the Old Continent should be interested in these vehicles.

The duo is up for grabs in several shades, including Silicon Silver and Carpathian Gray.
