Jaguar XE (2015-2024) for sale

The car was everything....and more....that I expected. Very pleased indeed!

Fantastic looking car with excellent handling characteristics and a superb petrol engine. It feels noticeably more special than its German rivals on the road, and if got with the InControl Pro 10 inch touch screen (and its assorted connectivity feature set) it can give them a run for their money in electronic tech. This year is towards the end of the model line for the gear selector rising out of the centre console once the engine is started, a fantastic feature that adds nothing to driving but contributes brilliantly to the sheer theatricality of the car.

It was a very fine looking, well specced example and seemed to be in excellent condition. The main reason for testing it was to see if it deserved its reputation for a smooth ride and general refinement. Whilst not actually uncomfortable, I was surprised at how stiff and unsettled the ride was, and how quickly I noticed the level of road noise. It was specified as a SPORT model, but I had been told by a dealer that that was about trim, and not any especially firmer suspension than a normal Jag XE . So overall very nice, but nowhere near as specially refined as I had been led to believe.

Ride and handling best in class ,performance more than adequate for normal road driving

Well equipped with a luxurious feel. Out performs the BMW 3 series. If space in the back and boot are important then look at the bigger XF. Lovely road presence and distinctive front grill.
