Hmmm. I've just been having a shufti at the specs for the XE. The base model diesel puts out an incredibly low 99g/km - sounds wonderfully tax efficient; yet with lightweight aluminium body, 165 horses & broad spread of torque should still be a reasonable performer. I gather the 4x4 option will be coming out next year, so I'll wait and see what the figures look like for that model. Emissions will obviously be higher, but anything under 140g/km works for me under the French TVTS (company car) system.
