Default Jaguar XE 2016 20d AWD

Dear all
it seems to me that the Jaguar that I bought is a bit slow in comparison to Audi A4 2.0 Quattro. It doesnt have the sufficent acceleration. Any one else have the same problem? Any ideas how to fix or the car is just that?

Thank you, best wishes

I don’t know much about diesels, including to what extent they’re tunable. Forum sponsor VelocityAP doesn’t appear to have one (I have their tune on my F-type), but perhaps others do.

There are heaps of tuning options for the diesel and I think they have very good gains. Assuming that you live in the US, you would be best off looking at UK vendors though as the diesels are more popular there.

Another thing you might try is to drive it in dynamic to sharpen up transmission changes. I found our 25T had a great engine but the transmission was set for more economical driving so it always seemed to be in a gear higher than it needed to be.

you should check if the Audi is petrol, but as well you should try to drive in Sport mode plus dynamic, it will change a lot. There is no comparison, a "normal" car become a supercar when you select the right mode and acceleration and sound become incredible and so different.

I have got the AWD 2.0d R-sport and I can't complain at all

I don't find mine slow in dynamic sport mode at all, enough power to get you in trouble.
