Jaguar doesn"t like to do big facelifts. Instead, it gives each model a sneaky little update each year so that we get all the benefits of new tech and cleaner engines, but without really knowing about it. Latest to get a friendly tickle are the XE and XF, and the headline is a new Sport 300 variant for each. As most of the pictures are of the XE Sport 300, we"ll assume that"s the one Jag expects to sell most of. In short, it"s the engine from the cheapest F-Type popped in the front of the XE and teamed up with all-wheel drive, though the image above suggests skids are still on the menu. That engine is a 296bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol turbo, tested against the Porsche 718 Cayman here.
