Jaguar XE
The Jaguar XE now features a new electrified powertrain option and latest connected technologies.
For the first time on the Jaguar XE, the next-generation 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium diesel is available with the latest Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology for enhanced efficiency.
Inside, Jaguar's state-of-the-art Pivi Pro dual-sim infotainment system ensures the XE is always connected. The intuitive new interface makes it easier for drivers to view information and perform frequently used functions on the move.
Focused detailed changes to the interior add further luxurious touches, including an updated seat design, while the new split-rim steering wheel design with metal gear shift paddles deliver a more engaging look and feel.

Jaguar announces new strategy to grow XE and XF sales
Brand’s two saloons receive significant price cuts and new buying process
Jaguar has significantly reduced the price of its XE and XF models, as it targets increased retail sales while creating a more “open approach” to pricing.
The XE and XF saloons have long been the weakest link in Jaguar’s line-up as demand turned to SUVs. However, the brand is committed to the models - at least for now - and this move is intended to help rejuvenate sales and better compete with rivals such as the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6.
Jaguar sales director Scott Dicken said: “This is one of the more competitive segments of the automotive industry especially for premium. Taking on BMW and Mercedes in these segments is a really big challenge which is why we’re looking at it more holistically in terms of strategy.”
The starting price of the latest XF has been cut from £34,995 to £32,585, an 18% reduction, while the updated XE will cost £29,365, down from £34,600, a 16% reduction. XF rival, the BMW 5 Series, starts at £38,600 and the XE-rivalling 3 Series begins at £31,110.
The price reductions have largely been achieved by streamlining the number of derivatives for both models: the XF’s options have decreased from 64 to 28 while the XE’s have dropped from 24 to 13. The move is intended to “reduce manufacturing complexity and retain the most popular features loved by customers”, said Jaguar.

Updated Jaguar XE sedan range heading to South Africa in 2021
Jaguar South Africa has confirmed the updated XE sedan is scheduled to hit local roads in the “first half of 2021”.
The British firm’s local arm says we can expect the updated XE to be offered with Jaguar’s turbocharged 2,0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
While the composition of the local range has yet to be confirmed, Jaguar SA mentions only the 184 kW/365 N.m version of this four-pot (so, the P250), which the company says delivers a 0-100 km/h time of 6,7 seconds and a combined fuel consumption of 7,9 L/100 km. The current line-up, of course, also includes a 221 kW/400 N.m version of this engine, badged P300.
So, what else is new with the tweaked sedan? Well, inside you’ll find a fresh split-rim steering wheel, along with a new quilt design for the seats (and an embossed “Leaper” emblem on the headrests). Jaguar has added its latest cabin air ionisation system to the mix, too.

Jaguar XE P250 R-Dynamic 2021 UK review
Should I buy one?
However, its character and gait hail from an era when cars were more expressive at realistic speeds and more naturally throttle-adjustable.
Combined with a predatory design and long-distance comfort, this XE is an awful lot of car for the money.

Jaguar XE and XF complete R-Dynamic Black line-up
Saloons follow F-Type, E-Pace, F-Pace and I-Pace with bespoke styling cues and added kit
Jaguar's XE and XF are now available in range-topping R-Dynamic Black specification, bringing bespoke design elements, added equipment and improved connectivity.
The Jaguar XF will gain the package for the first time with prices starting at £37,535, while the Jaguar XE will receive an improved Black specification, from £33,470. The F-Pace also got a Black Pack earlier this month, following the F-Type, E-Pace and I-Pace.
The firm says the models offer “an even more confident, assured and purposeful presence”, with an “unrivalled balance of outstanding ride, handling, refinement and luxury together with a focused range of powerful, efficient and electrified powertrains".
Both models are powered by Jaguar’s 201bhp mild-hybrid diesel engine, with the XE capable of 0-62mph in 5.6sec and the XF 5.8sec, with economy of up to 58.9mpg.
A panoramic roof, privacy glass and black 19in wheels with red brake calipers all feature. Both saloons are fitted with darker-coloured interiors with light seats and bright metal pedals. The firm says additional equipment options are not available for the R-Dynamic Black specification level.
The two models are equipped with Jaguar’s Pivi Pro infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and will also benefit from over-the-air software updates in the future.

Bringing up the rear: Jaguar XE vs front-driven BMW and Audi rivals
Germany’s latest crop of compact executive saloons draw on front-drive hatchback hardware for their mechanical make-up. Does that put the latest XE at an advantage?
The S3 is more of a handful, but a likeable one at that, like a hot hatchback with a boot. Preferring to roll and jounce much less, it claws the asphalt and eggs you on to give it more and more to do. It responds to bigger steering inputs with a rising rate of response, keeps f lat and level under plenty of lateral load and feels less sweetly balanced than the XE but ready, perhaps, for greater cross-country speeds in more testing conditions, and a firmer operating hand.
Where does the BMW slot in? Well, it’s a lot more like the Audi than the Jag, just as you’d expect, but it’s less grippy on its standard-fit 18in wheels and Bridgestone Turanza tyres, with a front axle that is quite a lot less willing to hustled, and steering that’s slower, lighter, plainer-feeling and less communicative than either of its rivals. Despite a zestier engine, the BMW doesn’t have the Audi’s sense of purpose, tautness or tenacity. It’s more practical and refined than the S3, but given how ungainly it looks and how disinterestedly it entertains, it can only come last in our reckoning.
Which leaves the pretty, fluent-handling, slightly lacklustre-engined Jag and the fast and energetic but electronically contrived and slightly impractical Audi. For dynamic appeal, you might be surprised by how close a call it is, because the S3 is vigorous and involving to drive. But it doesn’t juggle ride comfort, isolation and ease of operation against driver involvement as cleverly as the XE, and it doesn’t have the kerbside appeal or presence to really threaten the Jaguar either.
It’s a win for Jaguar, then – the one Gaydon will no doubt have expected. Although it was by no means always assured, it’s well deserved, and a sign that, now it’s priced right, the XE’s last few years on sale might just win it more fans than its first.

Jaguar XF and XE gain top-flight 300 Sport flagships
Models become latest Jaguars to get performance-inspired range toppers
The Jaguar XE and Jaguar XF have become the latest models in the firm’s range to receive a Sport variant with uprated performance, bespoke design features and Amazon Alexa connectivity.
Both come with the existing most powerful engine: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol unit producing 296bhp and 309lb ft. For the Jaguar XF Sportbrake and saloon, 0-62mph is achievable in 5.8sec, while the XE completes the same sprint in 5.6sec. The top speed for both models is pegged at 155mph.
Jaguar claims a combined economy figure of 58.9mpg for the XE and 57.6mpg for the XF saloon.
The two 300 Sport models also benefit from Jaguar’s Black Pack, which includes a gloss black contrasting roof and privacy glass. They also gain 20in alloy wheels that can be specified in either grey or silver.
On top of Jaguar’s standard range of colours, two premium exterior paints – Carpathian Grey and Silicon Silver - can be selected.
Inside, the XF and XE feature aluminium and ash-coloured veneers, along with metal gearshift paddles and pedals.

Nearly new buying guide: Jaguar XE
This slick and engaging saloon never quite took off when new, but it's now a bargain
You would have thought that a compact, relatively affordable and positively decent-to-drive Jag would have set the sales charts alight. But since its 2015 launch, the XE has played second fiddle to its executive-car rivals, the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, even on home turf.
Odd, that, because this suave four-door saloon ticks many of the boxes buyers of such cars would go for: it’s good looking, it has a premium badge and it comes handsomely equipped.
However, if new car customers were too easily swayed elsewhere, used car buyers can now put a good example on their driveway for buttons.

End of the Jaguar sedan? XF quietly culled in SA
What about the Jaguar XF’s sedan siblings?
Of course, other three-box Jaguar vehicles have also been removed from sale in South Africa over the past couple of years. The XE, for instance, made local landfall in 2015, was updated in 2020 but similarly quietly discontinued here in 2021. Production continues overseas for select markets, where the XE battles against the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Jaguar XF and XE back on sale as JLR chip shortage eases
Cheaper Jaguar and Land Rover models come back on stream after sustained period of restricted production
Jaguar Land Rover is gradually reopening order books on cheaper models most affected by the chip crisis, including the Jaguar XE and Jaguar XF saloons, UK sales director Paddy McGillycuddy has said.
JLR in recent months has prioritised its limited chip supply for its three largest, most profitable models: the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Land Rover Defender. As a consequence, 75% of JLR’s 200,000-plus forward orders globally are for those three models, the company has said. The same is true of the 50,000-order backlog in the UK, McGillycuddy told Autocar.
The strategy has meant customers have been unable to order certain core JLR models, or faced delivery times stretching over 12 months. “In managing our chip supply, we had to prioritise where chips go,” McGillycuddy said. “So for Discovery Sport, we restricted ordering down to a limited number of derivatives.”

Jaguar Is Killing Its Last Gas Cars To Make Room For An EV Lineup
Jaguar plans to continue selling cars that have already been built, though.
As far as legacy automakers go, Jaguar was relatively early to the electric vehicle game with the I-Pace. It was never a big seller, especially not here in the U.S., but it did exist. And the I-Pace was just the first step toward Jaguar going all-electric. Instead of continuing production of the rest of its lineup until the new EVs are ready, though, Joe Eberhardt, president and CEO of JLR North America, told Road & Track that the British automaker plans to go ahead and kill off its entire gas-powered lineup.
Speaking to the magazine, Eberhardt said:
The majority of our products cease production in June, but they will be on sale for a much longer time. We will have a production schedule that enables us to have a continuous supply of vehicles until the new cars come … We’re trying to time it so we have enough volume to take us through to the launch of the new product and have a clean handover. Whether it will be as perfectly planned as that, we’ll see – maybe we’ll sell out more quickly, or maybe it will take a little longer to sell through the current inventory. But the plan is to sunset the current product portfolio and then launch the new ones.
