Fanfare, hype, expectation - the launch of the Jaguar XE in 2015 had the lot. But, in sales terms, it hasn’t been the runaway success Jaguar was hoping for. After a facelift, is it now ready to challenge the Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class and BMW 3 Series?

Hi Anthony, lucky you! My XF (X250 - 2013 - 2.2D) has minor issues every 3-6months (partly because it's at the 6th year of its life). 2 months ago, I replaced the EGR, then the aircon motor broke. After fixing the aircon motor 2 weeks ago, the 2 rear doors' electric lock broke (I have to manually unlock them from the front seats). Yesterday, it gave me another "false warning" of low coolant liquid. All in all, it's a problematic child, but which children aren't? The drive and "feel" from driving a Jag is priceless, especially the dynamics of the handling and not the miss out the most important thing, the beautiful design and silhouette of the car.

Have a 14 XF with 30k on it. Sprung multiple leaks in the cooling system. I topped the coolant off and headed for the dealer. No warning lights on the way... but by the time I got there, they claim an overheat and requires a full engine over-haul. Only good news was Jag-LR have offered to replaced the whole engine free of charge (even though outside of warranty). Would I buy another? Absolutely, as long as it had a warranty. It is a much nicer car to drive (at a comparable price) vs German competitors. I like the simple interior, and love how tail happy it is. Most importantly, where I live BMWs and MCDs are as common as blackheads, I hate being like everyone else. Worth a bit of hassle.

@konradmichalski758 4 жыл бұрын

The manufacturer doesn’t „tune” the gearbox as such. Tuning by the manufacturer is limited to selecting when the gearbox reacts and switches gears in the rev range, not how it changes them. Gears will be changed exactly the same way every time as the manufacturer of the gearbox (ZF) designed it. No other way. I’ve owned a 2016 4-series with the 8-speed ZF and I’ve made a lot of miles in XE’s, XF’s and F-Pace’s and didn’t ever notice a difference between BMW and Jag.

'All models get RWD'. Incorrect. The P300 is only available in AWD. Don't worry, the steering is absolutely fine. It is perfect. The gearbox is fine. The P300 is excellent and well worth it. The handling wonderfull. I have adaptive dynamics but have the suspension and steering set to comfort on the individual setting as it is too hard on Scottish b roads. It is a 160 quid extra to have the dynamic settings configurable which is a rip off. The 18 way seats are really comfortable. Love the car

The infotainment system is the best compared to its rivals. The exterior arguably is the best looking compared to the competition. The review was very negative on the car, i believe this is a great contender.

“Better put together than an Alfa” - I know Alfa have improved a bit but still not exactly the most inspiring comment 🤣.

I do wonder why the reviewer keeps comparing it negatively to German rivals and states that in surveys that Jaguar don't do well, although Jaguar do significantly better than its German rivals, but this is not mentioned!

Gear selector is a bulky and space occupying. The rotational gear was better choice. In my experience.

Are you showcasing the car or the skinny host? One second of car to 20 seconds of host. I'm more interested in seeing the car.

They need to facelift the xf and xj as they are looking a little dated, but they need to keep the jaguar round shifter. It's apart of the dna. I get that you want to be modern and on trend but you still need to have your identity

The best looking car in class is clearly either the Giulia or the Volvo S60 and I can't choose either lol

Thanks for another informative expert review !. The XE has sold ok considering the saloon market has plummeted in favour of crossovers & SUV's. Totally bored of the same old generic German designs , so by default the Jag , with it's much needed facelift wins , should of been like this from the start !. I personally would much rather drive a car that is rare & exclusive than follow the predictable choices that are on every street in the country , you would think the vast numbers available used out of warranty with high maintenance costs would affect the resale value , particularly BMW , who have come last , by some margin in some recent reliability surveys.

I’m quite disappointed that the climate controls and infotainment system are straight out of the Range Rover. I just feel like it doesn’t fit into the Jag and the infotainment system looks out of place.

Only 1 engine is available here in the US, and that's the 296 hp 4 banger... it was a fantastic ride around Hollywood. People look at it way more than a 3 series. Too many female asain teenagers drive the 3 series around.

@alfrede.neuman9082 3 жыл бұрын

that's because the 3-series is what you buy when you have a little bit of money, know very little if anything about cars, but you want a euro car for your image... I've had a '15 XE for 2 years now, and it still turns heads... no way does a 5 year old 3-series do that! Oh, and it's wicked to drive!

Love the car, but "Britain's answer to the likes of the Audi a4"? you do know that Jaguar isn't a British company anymore. It was sold off to Tata Motors several years ago so technically it use to be British, now it's more of Mumbai's answer to the likes of the Audi a4.
