Jaguar XE

$79,825 - $79,825* MRLP

2017 Jaguar XE 20d Prestige review
Owner Review | 28 May 2020
After much deliberating between the XE and Audi A6, I opted for it due to style and compactness. Prior to making my decision, I tested two versions: 25t and 20d. The 25t petrol definitely provided more 'oomph' and less lag, but diesel seemed like a frugal choice given the high mileage commuting required by my work. Nevertheless, 20d, is not a slug and its powers feels sufficient. The styling of the XE instantly captures attention. Since the release of the model in 2015, I have desired for one. The only criticism I could give is that there are too many 'Jaguar' logos with the leaper on the body and and around the cabin. The boot lid should be a bit less lanky given that this is a luxury vehicle. Also, the boot space is a limiting factor - do not expect much room. The most pleasant surprise, on the other hand, is the great paint quality. Moving into the cabin, the XE received criticism regarding the lack of latest tech compared to what was available at the time. Not from me, though - I really enjoy the simplicity and the feel of the materials used, particularly the leather seats. The wrap-around presentation of the cabin is phenomenal and it overall feels quite comfortable for a stylish mobile office. The USB port and 12V are, for some reason, located the centre console and thus not easily accessible. The entertainment unit connects easily and can have two devices connected at time. I found it particularly convenient that the user can, for example, stream music from one device, and use the other one for phone calls. Moreover, once the car comes to a full stop, the unit has a feature available to both read and send SMS. Having picked diesel due to perceived frugality, my fingers were crossed that it will perform accordingly - and it delivered. Despite not being able to always emulate, the claimed 4.2l/100km/h (which JLR revised later in 2018), I managed to achieve 5-5.5l regularly. However, it must be noted that I drive almost exclusively in 'Dynamic' mode with 'Stop/Start' feature off. On a highway, expect the economy to be around 3l/100km/h. Reverting back to the driving mode, the only fraction of exhilaration can be achieved in 'Dynamic'. Otherwise, it is just a cruiser. The 8-speed auto is quite smooth, always finds the right gear, and some people would not think it's a diesel from inside the cabin. At almost 70,000km, the car has been quite reliable. There were some minor software issues rectified during the service. By the way, the service intervals are every 2 years or 34,000kms, and the cost is, at worst, $900 - pretty solid for a luxury brand. Note, though, that it drinks a lot of AdBlue, so expect to refill it several times before scheduled service. Safety features are quite responsive and adequate for a luxury car. Forward Collision Warning and Adaptive Cuise Control would also be appropriate additions; however, JLR made a brand out of their perception of what constitutes an 'option' as opposed to what should be standard fitment. Luckily, I bought a well-built demo and the automotive luxuries, such as collapsible back seats were included in the vehicle. Otherwise, I may not have been able to fit anything larger than a medium-sized suitcase in it. Upon learning how fortunate I was, I even wondered about the cup holders. My sarcasm aside, Jaguar really need to address this practice along with the dispositions of their dealers, particularly because they have a great lineup of cars at the moment and yet are not occupying the share of the market accordingly. If this were a 25t, it'd make an even more exciting car and I would give it a higher score. However, despite that, it fits my circumstances really well, it is an absolute pleasure to drive and I wish to keep it for the years to come.
2015 Jaguar XE 20t Prestige review
Owner Review | 27 Mar 2018
Jaguar’s first attempt at a compact luxury sedan was somewhat poorly received by critics and the buying public alike. Based on a platform shared with the then current Ford Mondeo then topped with old fashioned Jaguar design themes, the X-Type failed to live up to expectations. Whilst the Mondeo platform was sound in a mainstream product, many couldn’t see past the Ford foundations and appreciate the gutsy engines, all-wheel drive traction and decent dynamics. And thus the X-Types place in history sees labelled as a pretender. Fast forward to Jaguars next attempt, the XE, and things couldn’t be any different. Having been released from the restrictive shackles of Ford ownership and into the nurturing hands of Indian brand Tata, Jaguar have been able to fully define their own destiny. Based on an all-new aluminium intensive rear wheel drive platform and cloaked in a carefully crafted body, the XE’s design is anchored by excellent proportions, distinctive LED lighting and an athletic stance. XE represents what a modern Jaguar saloon should be where the X-Type was simply a pastiche of what Ford thought buyers wanted. Whilst many of its segment rivals have grown bigger and bigger with each generational change, the XE is noticeably smaller. This has impact on interior space, particularly rear seat legroom, however its compact dimensions certainly help maintain of level of dynamism that has been diluted from the BMW 3 Series. The XE is now the driver’s choice in the premium medium segment. Enough of the history lesson and onto what it’s like to own and drive a Jaaaaaaag. This XE 2.0t Prestige is a replacement for a MC Mondeo Titanium, both powered by a 2.0 Ford EcoBoost engine with 149 kW of power. The Ford DNA lingers it would seem! The Jaguar application sees it teamed with an 8 speed ZF automatic transmission instead of a 6 speed DCT in the Ford. After deciding to replace the Mondeo with something a little smaller and looking at various cars including a Golf GTi, Audi A3 and the Audi Q3, we made a of field decision to have a look at the Jaguar XE. The expressive design and the fact that it was a something a little different to the usual choices were the deciding factors. The exterior is finished in Odyssey Red and the interior features Latte Grained leather trim with Gloss Figured Ebony veneers making this particular car stand out from the sea of other silver/black/grey euro boxes on the road. Additionally this car has been heavily optioned with sliding panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, head-up display, powered boot lid, 19 inch split spoke wheels and the Active Safety Pack featuring Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot monitoring and Forward Collision alert. Much has been written about JLR’s excessive options list with cheeky pricing for even quite basic features. However dealer floor stock is often heavily optioned in an attempt to predict what buyers want, so provided you don’t order a specific unicorn car from the factory, option prices are largely irrelevant and final drive away prices comes down to how incentivised the dealer is sell a car that’s already on their lot and of course good old fashioned bargaining. This car extensively optioned XE was effectively on the road for the standard list price. Inside, the light coloured trimming injects a sense of airiness to the cabin. A low slung seating position can be created with full electric adjustment for the front seats, teaming with a perfectly sized electrically adjustable leather steering wheel. A comfortable seating position is easily achieved making it a great place to soak up a long road trip. I really like the simplicity of the analogue dials, contrasted by the theatre of the pulsating heart beat starter button and motorised gear selector. The infotainment screen has four quadrants for navigation, audio, phone and climate control, a sytem that mimics Fords Sync 2 setup. I find this a easy to use and logical layout that is spoiled by slow response times and occationaly finicky Bluetooth connection. Other cabin lowlights include the previously mentioned lack of rear seat leg and headroom and the cheap feeling plastic gear shift paddles. The most impressive element of the XE though is how well it connects with the driver. This car is so light on its feet, aided by excellent steering that is just right for weighting, and a “pointiness” that contributes to a fun to drive feeling. The 19 inch wheels add a degree of firmness to the ride quality but it is by no means unacceptable. This is one of those cases where adaptive dampers are largely unneeded. The EcoBoost petrol engine and eight speed gearbox is probably the most surprising aspect though. This engine with the very same outputs in the Mondeo was lacking in both character and step off response. In the XE this is an excellent drivetrain that provides strong acceleration and response across a broad range of driving conditions. No doubt the XE’s light body construction and the lower gearing contribute. Also noticeable is how much effort Jaguar have put into tuning the exhaust system of this engine to have a genuinely appealing note. This is a four cylinder engine that sounds and performs to an enthusiast’s satisfaction, and I say this as habitual V8 buyer. Toping it all off is strong braking that, joy of joys, doesn’t suffer from excessive euro brake dust syndrome. Running cost wise, fuel economy sits around the 9 to 10 litres per hundred mark in mostly low speed, round town type of driving. Service costs, as expected, are moderately higher than mainstream brands. This car has also had a couple of warranty related items attended to during scheduled servicing, the first being the replacement of a faulty forward collision warning camera, the second being a broken boot strut cover clip that would foul in operation. Apart from that, the car has performed beyond expectations. What I love about this car is its point of difference, it’s not one of the default choices in its segment. This is a car that turns heads! And whilst the Mondeo was great to drive, very well equipped and a good car overall, it just never got under my skin the way this Jaguar XE has. And that’s the key to a great car. One that puts a smile on your face as you turn to look back at it parked in the garage. One that encourages you to take the long way home just for the sake of it. A car that makes you feel good. After all, it’s a Jaaagggg!
