Exterior/Interior

In terms of appearance, designers have given the XE more straight lines and angles, with a sharp-edged hood and sharp LED running lights, making the XE look more powerful. The short front overhang and long rear overhang design ratio, coupled with the smooth C-pillar line, makes the XE more in line with the style of a "sports coupe" in terms of shape.

The rear of the car is a continuation of the F-TYPE style, the overall feeling is more compact, but the design of the light is wider, J-Blade lights are also a classic element of the Jaguar models.

The Jaguar XE's interior design creates a sporty atmosphere, with the center console designed in a lower position and a simple and neat button layout, and the instrument panel continues the style of the F-TYPE. At the same time, the interior of the Jaguar XE also uses high-tech fabrics and premium leather, and it is also equipped with up to 10 colors of mood lighting system to further create the cabin atmosphere desired by the owner.

Body Structure Highlights

In terms of body design, the model places special emphasis on smooth lines and excellent aerodynamics, with a wind resistance coefficient of 0.26, which is strong support for the car's positioning as a "sporty coupe" in its class. In addition, as the first Jaguar model to go into production under the new intelligent aluminum body architecture, the Jaguar XE has the only high-density aluminum monocoque body structure in its class.

More than 75 percent of the body is made of aluminum, and the main structure is made of high-density 6000 series aluminum alloy. The use of aluminum components allows the Jaguar XE to use lighter and thinner materials while achieving the same strength, and the fusion riveting technology used for body manufacturing is also more energy-efficient than traditional welding technology.

Telematics

The Jaguar XE is equipped with the latest InControl infotainment system, which not only provides a large 8-inch touchscreen but also incorporates popular Telematics technology. The InControl remote control system is compatible with Apple and Android cell phones, and users can control the vehicle remotely through their cell phones, including the XE weather control system that can be preset seven days in advance, door opening and closing, engine starting, etc.

Competitors

The Jaguar XE's competitors are still very strong, not only in terms of the brand but also in terms of parameters and configuration, including the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series, Audi A4L, Cadillac ATS-L, etc. It is a huge lineup, and it is not easy to get a share of the pie.

When it comes to these competitors, you may find a commonality, they are basically "lengthened", on this point, the editor also learned from the manufacturer, Jaguar will be launched according to the market response in due course, this is not a problem for them, we also have reason to believe that if the Jaguar XE wants to compete with these rivals We have reason to believe that the introduction of a longer version is the most urgent thing.

Future market competitiveness

In terms of product strength alone, the Jaguar XE has enough capital to challenge the main players in the market with its sporty exterior design, lightweight aluminum body, sporty chassis settings, and mainstream vehicle configuration and power performance. However, in the face of competitors that have been domestic and have launched an extended version of the situation, Jaguar XE's pressure is not small, whether it can be on the market mainstream Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi products to form an impact, will depend on the final listing of the pricing strategy.
