Considering a diesel XE.

[Classic_kid95]

Evening all,

After lockdown I'm considering buying a diesel XE.

I'm aware there has already been a thread but that was relating to the petrol S model.

There's a few things I'm wondering/worried about.

1. I'm looking at the R-Sport models. I'm assuming with them being the sporty model the suspension will be firm. However is it uncomfortable and bumpy?

2. How reliable is the 2.0 diesel engine? Every car has the odd horror story, but are there any common faults?

4. Relating to above, are the 3 power options mechanically different or just different engine maps?

3. How reliable are the electrics? I hear nothing but trouble with Land Rovers however does the XE have many issues?

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any information.

Evening All,

Thanks for all the responses. So I've been doing some more research and correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the petrol ingenium engines introduced in 2017 whereas the Diesel versions were available from launch in 2015? Maybe the petrol is a completely different engine?

Thank you guys for letting me know of the diesel issues. I'm not sure what to do now. I didn't really want a petrol as the economy isnt as good as diesel. Time for some thinking. Do the 3.0 diesels in the XFs have the same issues?

Thanks again.
