SUPERCHARGED PETROL ENGINE

0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds

The 3.0 litre V6 supercharged petrol engine has been adapted for the specific requirements of XE. A Roots-type twin vortex supercharger is mounted in the 'V' between the two rows of cylinders for compact dimensions. Supercharging provides linear delivery of power and maximises responsiveness. This results in performance matching much larger engines, while optimising economy and reducing emissions. The engine also features dual independent variable cam timing to vary inlet and exhaust valve operation, working alongside lightweight pistons with ultra-low friction piston rings, for increased performance and efficiency. For added refinement there is a twin, contra-rotating balancer shaft system. The V6 supercharged petrol engine is available with Rear Wheel Drive Automatic transmission only.
