Reviewed a 2019 Jaguar XE on 3 Sept 2025
The Jaguar XE is probably the best handling car I've driven so far. The styling of the face-lift 2019 version is one of the best looking cars in it's class. Would have loved the camera in the rearview mirror, amazing feature. Would compare this car to a BMW 3, Merc C class. The more I drive this car the more I love it!!

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.

Jaguar XE (2015-2024) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Brilliant handling | Electrical issues blight the Jag's reliability record |
| Sleek and sporting looks | Tight rear-seat space |
| Excellent eight-speed automatic gearbox | Small boot |
Quick Summary
The Jaguar XE (2015-2024) is Jaguar's stylish and innovative entry into the compact executive saloon market, competing directly with the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Constructed from bonded and riveted aluminium components, the XE features Jaguar's own Ingenium diesel and petrol engines, delivering impressive performance and efficiency. The 2.0-litre turbodiesel engines are particularly economical, with the 161bhp version achieving claimed figures of 74.3mpg and the 178bhp variant returning 67.3mpg. A 2019 update introduced an improved infotainment system with satellite navigation, DAB radio, and smartphone integration, whilst standard equipment is generous across all trims, including leather seats, dual-zone climate control, and comprehensive safety features.
The XE's ride and handling strike an excellent balance between comfort and nimbleness, making it a delight to drive on long journeys with refined wind and road noise levels. Its aluminium subframes and bolted body panels are designed for cost-effective repair after impacts. However, early models have suffered from electrical reliability issues, and the sleek styling comes at the expense of practicality—the rear headroom is tight, the transmission tunnel restricts middle-seat legroom, and the 410-litre boot is the smallest in its class. Despite these concerns, most owners report satisfaction with their purchase, and the XE offers a refreshing alternative to German rivals. Ensure all recall work has been completed before purchase.
Best for: Drivers prioritising handling and style, those seeking a sporty yet comfortable cruiser, and buyers wanting a distinctive alternative to German compact executive saloons.
Not ideal for: Those requiring spacious rear seating or large boot capacity, or buyers concerned about electrical reliability without comprehensive warranty coverage.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jaguar XE | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 38.3% | 4.2/5 |
| Mercedes-Benz C-Class | 4/5 | 4.6/5 | 38.0% | 4.5/5 |
| BMW 3 Series | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 35.5% | 4.5/5 |
| Audi A4 | 4/5 | 5.0/5 | 37.0% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the XE if: You prioritise handling and style, seek a sporty yet comfortable cruiser, or want a distinctive alternative to German compact executive saloons.
Consider alternatives if: You require spacious rear seating or large boot capacity, or are concerned about electrical reliability without comprehensive warranty coverage.
Competitive Position: The Jaguar XE (2015-2024) is a compelling choice in the compact executive saloon segment, offering brilliant handling, sleek styling, and excellent value. Whilst the BMW 3 Series edges ahead with a perfect expert rating and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 offer marginally higher user ratings, the XE delivers a refreshing alternative with comparable overall ratings. Its main drawbacks—tight rear space, small boot, and electrical concerns—are offset by its engaging driving dynamics and generous standard equipment. For buyers seeking a distinctive, sporty saloon with strong performance and efficiency, the XE represents an excellent choice, particularly when early electrical issues have been resolved through recall work.
