Its lightweight construction, streamlined styling, luxurious interior and outstanding ride and handling are testament to company founder Sir William Lyons’ vision: ‘The car is the closest thing we will ever create to something that is alive’. The rear-drive Jaguar XE is the only vehicle in its class to use an aluminium-intensive monocoque. This extremely robust yet light structure, together with double wishbone front suspension and an Integral Link rear axle, is fundamental to deliver the development target of the driver’s car in the segment. Jaguar’s world-leading expertise in aluminium structure engineering enables exceptional fuel consumption and emissions figures: with the new Ingenium diesel engines, the XE can achieve a consumption rating of 4.2 litres/100km. Powered by the supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine from the acclaimed Jaguar F-TYPE, the XE S is capable of 0-100km/h in just 5.1 seconds. At Next Car we road test cars! Check these out! Jaguar F-TYPE V8 S road test ..... more Jaguar XKR-S road test ..... more The aluminium-intensive Jaguar XE is the first model developed from Jaguar Land Rover’s new modular vehicle architecture. The long 2,835mm wheelbase and low seating position enable perfect proportions and a streamlined profile. The cabin offers outstanding levels of comfort and spaciousness. Exquisite materials and finishes combined with Jaguar craftsmanship make the interior a truly luxurious environment. Jaguar’s new InControl infotainment system takes centre stage: its innovative 8-inch touchscreen brings fast, intuitive access to all features and functions. The XE has some of the most advanced driver assistance systems available. All Surface Progress Control (ASPC), developed through decades of Jaguar Land Rover experience in off-road traction systems, can electronically gain traction in seconds and is ideal for use on low-grip surfaces, such as snow-covered roads. Laser projection technology enables the XE’s head-up display (HUD) to generate sharp, high-contrast colour graphics (such as vehicle speed and navigation) from a module smaller and almost a third lighter than existing systems, retaining clarity even in direct sunlight. A stereo camera is mounted behind the front windscreen to give the XE a 3D view of the road ahead: this highly accurate data is used for functions including autonomous emergency braking and a lane departure warning system. The XE is the stiffest, most aerodynamic Jaguar saloon car ever built. It is also the first Jaguar saloon to be equipped with electric power steering, tuned to provide exceptional responsiveness and feel but with lower energy consumption than hydraulic systems. The XE also boasts the lowest cost of ownership and most environmentally sustainable credentials of all Jaguar models. Manufacturing of the aluminium-intensive Jaguar XE occurs at Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull plant in an all-new facility. The XE now completes the Jaguar saloon car range, sitting below the XF and XJ model lines. From luxury to high-performance, the XE range offers a model suited to varying tastes. Engines The XE will offer a choice of four advanced engines, from the all-new highly efficient Ingenium diesel engine, to the F-TYPE derived 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine: 2.0-litre i4 turbo diesel ‘20d’ delivering 132kW/430Nm 2.0-litre i4 turbo petrol ‘20t’ delivering 147W/280Nm 2.0-litre i4 turbo petrol ‘25t’ delivering 177kW/340Nm 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol 250kW/450Nm Trim Strategy XE will be available in four trim levels: Prestige, Portfolio, R-Sport and S, offering the customer a choice of increasing luxury or sportiness.
