Jaguar XF 2.2D India launch on the cards

Speculations are high that the Jaguar XF 2.2D could be launched in India by Tata-JLR. In comparison to the BMW 5 series and Mercedes Benz E Class, the Jaguar XF 2.2D could be more expensive in India. The reason behind this is that Jaguar cars come to India through the CBU route which burns the pocket by high import duty of 30 percent. It is believed that the Jaguar could take a convenient step of assembling the Jaguar XF in India which may result in decreasing the import duty from 30 percent to 10 percent.
