Featuring a 2.0-Liter Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Engine Not Available in Japan
The "XE" was released in Japan in June of this year. It garnered significant attention as Jaguar's re-entry into the D-segment, a fiercely competitive market.
Following the "F-TYPE KEI NISHIKORI EDITION" released last year, this marks the second special edition car to bear the name of Kei Nishikori, the professional tennis player and Jaguar ambassador. The "XE KEI NISIKORI EDITION" is limited to just 60 units.
For this model, Nishikori selected the colors and equipment. The base is the "XE 2.0 R-Sport" gasoline engine model, featuring a 2-liter inline four-cylinder turbo engine with an output of 240ps and maximum torque of 340Nm, which is not currently offered in the Japanese market. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The body color is "Blue Fire," chosen to evoke Nishikori. The interior features luxurious R-Sport/Technical Mesh sports seats in a subdued tone, and the car is fitted with 18-inch alloy wheels in a black finish.
To signify its special nature, the model includes "KEI NISHIKORI" badges below the power vents on both front fenders. Inside, a plaque reading "KEI NISHIKORI EDITION" and "1/60" to denote its place among the 60 units is located under the mid-fascia. Upon opening the hood, a silver plate bearing "KEI NISHIKORI EDITION," "1/60," and Nishikori's signature is also found on the engine cover.
Purchase Includes Invitation to Special Event with Kei Nishikori
Purchasers will be invited to a special event in Tokyo on December 1st (Tuesday), which Kei Nishikori is scheduled to attend. Additionally, upon delivery, they will receive a special keychain and a signed display plaque.
Orders are exclusively accepted through a dedicated page on the website. The limited production run is 60 units, with a price of 6.5 million yen.
