Thank you very much. The 35T is the SUV I think. I never really checked them out because I’ve been driving an Infiniti EX35 for eight years and I wanted a sedan this time. I’m sure it’s a great machine. I believe the XE borrowed some technology from the F Pace this year. Congrats on not joining the sea of Mercedes, BMWs and Cayennes!

Yeah, just to confuse it some more, the 20T and the 25T were both the ecoboost 4 potter turbos with about 150Kw and 177Kw respectively and here in Australia the XE S was the 6 cylinder supercharged version with 250Kw which was called the 35T in the US, then the igenium engines came out and kept a 20T, a 25T (now with about 185Kw), a 30T (the p300 engine) and then the S was the 280Kw 6 supercharged. The p300 behaves very similarly to the 250Kw version of the 6, IMO, you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart save for engine note. Zero lag, and still good pickup over 100kph.

I dont know what mechanical differences there are, but there was a power increase in the 25T of about 5Kw. The 221Kw version (30T or p300) uses a twin turbo and there wasnt an ecoboost version of the 300hp engine as that was really the space of the 250kw 6. The Igenium is supposed to be a lot lighter and more fuel efficient.
I think the diesels were using it from commencement of the XE but the petrols ran the ecoboost engines for about a year or two before getting the igenium engine in the 20T and 25T in about 2017, and I think the 30T in 2018 (Australia) though I've never seen one on the road.
It is hard to tell the difference driving the cars because transmission has so much to do with power delivery - I found the 25T ecoboost that we had in the first XE a bit surgey and I've had loaners of 25T igeniums which were much more direct. Whether that is an engine characteristic or a transmission one I dont know.
If you are looking at the engine bay, the Igenium engine has the dipstick off to one side whereas the Ecoboost has it right in the middle. That's about the sum of my mechanical knowledge!
