Frequently Asked Questions - Jaguar Comparisons

What is the best Jaguar engine for reliability?

The answer depends on the model and year. Generally, the later Ingenium petrol (204PT) and the post-2013 AJ133 V8 are considered more reliable than earlier Ingenium diesels or pre-2013 AJ133. See our failure rate by engine for data.

Which Jaguar model is cheapest to maintain?

The XE and XF with four-cylinder Ingenium engines tend to have lower running costs than V6 or V8 models. However, petrol Ingenium is often cheaper to repair than diesel due to fewer DPF and EGR issues. See our cheapest Jaguars to own guide.

Should I buy a diesel or petrol Jaguar?

Diesel offers better fuel economy but higher repair costs (DPF, EGR, AdBlue). Petrol is simpler but less economical. Our diesel vs petrol running costs page breaks it down with real data.
