(MARKET DEPENDENT)
PERFORMANCE
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.
