+jan singh Thank you!

Gentle Brother We are very pleased you liked it! It is a fantastic car.

+Rich Newall Their range of cars at the moment is fantastic.

TJ Harvey I bet you can't! Good choice sir! What colour?

British Racing Green with Oyster interior, still waiting!

Hi Jim, No secondhand ones around as yet, just about afford the repayments on my pension!!!!!

Robert Price Some people just want a new car. Warranty is a big factor.

+Nitiraj Thorat it wasn't long...the review was just right.

not long at all

Nick De Martino Glad you like it as much as we did!

+Nick De Martino does your model have ftype engine ? how is running cost ? i am thinking of buying one

Yes it is the version with the F-Type engine 338bhp . My running costs riding sensibly are 35-38mpg motorway. 22-26mpg town and mixed is around 27-28 mpg. Sensibly with the XES model is still going around on normal mode and it is very quick. If you pop it into S and adaptive then its like a rocket which wants to take off. To give you a better idea on wet surface you cannot drive it in normal because it will just doughnut on you. It's an amazing car.

+Nick De Martino I am considering purchasing EITHER this car which I have tested in wet road conditions and as you say it slips from the back alot. OR the 3 litre s4 Audi quatro which will not slip in such a manner. The xe has 8000 miles on clock fully specked priced £42ooo 6 months old. The Audi has 80 miles on clock registered 6 months very good spec priced £35500. Aftre owning the jag faced with this choice which would you choose? Advice appreciated

+fizywig I love everything about my car and my decision would always be the XE S purely because the car is everything a driver wants from a sports sedan . However you cannot ignore the fact that the S4 is also an amazing car and comes at 6.5K cheaper and with 7920 miles less on the clock. The truth is that they are two amazing cars and ultimately the decision comes down to the individual and what are there priorities in terms of spec vs money plus what done it for me is that it is a new model on the road not another face lift. So here are my pro`s and cons after owning it for 6 months: Pro`s Great Ride and very direct steering Seating position is fantastic its like being in a two seater. PowerfulSupercharged engine which delivers some great performance Amazing sounds when the Supercharged kicks in.Amazing looks (trust me I park next to great cars every day and people look at mine) Good overall mpg. Negative Sat Nav not great in fact I feel very let down by this. Not very spacious sitting in the back seats.Meridian Stereo not the best. Noisy ride because of its wheels and engine sound.

Gary McNidder how did it turn out for you? Thinking of getting a 2016..

+Jam thili Thank you! F-Pace review coming soon.

TheCarxpert Absolutely. BMW has ruled the roost for a while and for Jag to come along and dethrone them, it just shows how good this car is.

+Inside Lane I just hope it's reliable. I'm not a fan of that pop-up gear selector...its going to break and cost thousands to fix.

***** I've read of issues on forums. Specifically, the pop-up gear selector was stuck in park on a XF, so in order to put it in neutral so it could be towed, the owner had to find some complicated mechanism located under the arm rest. I don't think it's a wide-spread issue, but it happened. I don't like when manufacturers do gimmicky things like pop-up speakers, etc. It will break and it will be expensive to fix. CarandDriver magazine did a long-term test with the F-type, and the stupid pop-up vent stopped popping up. It cost almost a thousand to fix. It's unnecessary. They should have used the joy-stick looking gear selector from the F-type. I've never liked the pop-up gear selector.

+chigasaki06 I read on forums about BMW diesel engines suffering from timing chains breaking reducing the engine to scrap. All cars have some faults the latest Jags very few.

Good spot! I was indeed.

□{

+ptvfr800 It is in position for me driving and there is ok leg room, but not best in class.

+Tres Simpson You are welcome!

It looks like a jag from every angle. And nothing looks better or more premium in this class.

+Lewis Harley You can buy a 316d in M-guise... R-Sport is just one of the trims and it gives the XE a more sporty look + sports seats, sports steering wheel and sports suspension.

Well done Patricia, it's good to know that your supporting British industry. I dumped my Merc and brought an F TYPE, would never buy another German car as long as I live. 😊

+MuffinHatred I'd love to shoot something on both, but unfortunately we don't have the ATS in the UK. I would like to know what the Cadillac is like.

We don't say that...a small minority who are very loud say that....our most popular magazines (caranddriver and motorweek) still choose the bmw over the caddy...it's good but not perfect tranny (gearbox) is very sloppy

Sorry to say this (or maybe not) but American cars are just crap on weels. A comparison to German cars is like putting the English Premier League or German Bundesliga at the same Level as a local small town football team. Just look at the sales figures of American cars in Germany. Nobody buys that Gringo shit. I have driven BMW and Audi during the last 10 years but must admit that the XE is a great car. I tried it several times and decided to buy one. Will get it tomorrow at Berlin... (Diesel, 163 PS, manual gear).

Cadillac ATS is one of the ugliest car on this planet. Americans simply cant make nice cars except Lincoln town car thats one exception

I will look into that for you and let you know.

+Inside Lane I'll sub then

+Tres Simpson The track is called "Cry" by vibe tracks. It is a KZfaq royalty free piece of music.

The newer models have a Jaguar made Ingenium engines.

+djnes2k7 The looks thing is something that is happening to all car. The brands want them to all have the "family face."

Not expensive to insure if you have good license. All good garages will repair .main dealers are expensive

+L.James Junior.D I haven't driven the latest A4, but I am interested to see if they have upped their game.

Well Audi is more reliable than BMW in my opinion because they share the same genes as VW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche...so if there is a technical improvement in those 3 brands Audi will also do well.

+notformebeaky someone jelly?

Why would you say this? You don't even know this kid or his situation. There are many wealthy young people in the World these days who could easily buy a $45K car. Maybe he insherited money, maybe he's a business owner, maybe he his dad is rich, maybe he won a law suit. I see young kids out cruising in $100K cars. You just never know about people. I do find it funny when someone has to tell you their age in the same sentence as they tell you what kind of car they drive. It does lend less credibility to the story.

I'm 12 and I bought a Veyron with 1100 bhp and I can't believe it. It's so unreal!!! I love it!

Did it come with stickers and AA batteries?

It does. The F-type taillight semi-circles are there.

You think so? Hmm maybe we will shorten it. Thanks for the feedback,

It is a handsome machine.

+littlehenham What? The Mustang isn't even in the same segment as this car. Mustang = Coupe. XE = Saloon. Those looking at a Mustang are not the same customers who are looking at the Jag.

+littlehenham Jaguar is a luxury brand, the new XE is a luxury sport sedan competing with BMW 3/Audi A4, mustang is a affordable sport car unless you get to the higher trim(GT350/500). You are talking about the wrong class lol, a more comparable american car would be like a Cadillac ATS.

+Brian Tran OK. Point taken. But both cars, are really nice.

agreed

wtf are you taking about

+Andrei Arama We haven't driving the "facelift" 3 Series that has just come out yet, but it will be an interesting comparison.

+Inside Lane thx

+Andrei Arama neybor 😂

+Andrei Arama The 3 series is just a bland 3 box saloon. The Jag is miles more stylish. BMW have the i8 & Jag have the F type. Not cars competing in the the XE sector. The 330e is a nice try but no use for most with only a 25mile range on electric and it is still bland. Lexus already make better Hybrids than BMW.

It's a trim level, just like M Sport is for BMW.

+Inside Lane Oh I see! But still, I feel like it's false advertising, like the C250 "AMG" :P

+Graeme Heydenrych I do agree that sometimes it seems a bit false. Those sorts of cars are aimed at those who want the styling but would rather have something they could use everyday. Think Mercedes one is called AMG-Line?

got one yesterday. fantastic car

Great choice!

240bhp petrol . really nice xe r sport great vid by the way

Thank you!

Errr...but it is winning! BMW 3 is a beautiful car but the XE is a serious competitor in this class.

The point is that the 3 series has been dubbed "the drivers car." The Jag now takes that title.

Best thing about this car is it's not a BMW

+Denise Davies Fantastic choice!
