As reported first by Motown India Magazine in its January 2013 issue, Jaguar Land Rover India has commenced the assembly operations of the Jaguar XF sedan. The executive car will be assembled through CKD kits (from England) at the former Tata Motors-Mercedes Benz production facility at Chikli, off Pune, which has now been converted for producing Jaguar and Land Rover models. The initial Pune-built Jaguar XF models will feature the 2.2-litre diesel engine, which is coming to the Indian market for the first time. Rohit Suri, Vice President, Jaguar Land Rover India said: “Our best-selling models in India are the Land Rover Freelander 2 and the Jaguar XF and this has driven the move to build these products locally. The Jaguar XF has become very popular with our customers due to its sports car performance, outstanding luxury saloon elegance and contemporary individual styling. Its inspired engineering and technological innovation have helped it to win more than 100 awards internationally. So we are now delighted to offer this car as a locally built product with a new engine for this market, which will enable us to provide our customers with a wider choice of competitively priced models."
