Jaguar's XE is much improved. We put the volume D180 diesel version to the test.
Ten Second Review
The Jaguar XE continues to deliver a slickly executed take on the mid-sized executive genre, offering something different to the usual German suspects in the BMW 3 Series / Audi A4-segment. On paper at least, this revised version seems to have the design, technology and ambition necessary to succeed in this segment, with the dynamics of a BMW and the luxury of a Mercedes, plus all the efficiency and connectivity modern business buyers now expect. It's a strong contender.
Background
Think Jaguar and you probably think of unashamedly high-end cars, raffish, elegant and rapid. It's not a company that's given to lowering the bar and chasing volumes. It tried that in 2001 with the dismal X-TYPE, a rebodied Ford Mondeo that languished in the range for eight years, the public never really enamoured by a Ford wearing a pastiche of Jaguar styling. In its best-selling year, it sold half of Jaguar's initial 100,000 per year estimate, the Brits grumbling that here was a car they never wanted, hastily foisted on them by Ford's top brass in Detroit.
It's took Browns Lane until 2014 to come back with a second stab at the mid-sized 3 Series / Audi A4-dominated executive saloon sector, but the XE showed that the brand had learned from the X-TYPE and done things rather differently. It was - and still is in this improved form - a serious contender to the likes of the BMW 3 Series, the Audi A4 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Driving Experience
When you compete in the same class as the BMW 3 Series, it's a measure of real confidence to bill your contender as "the driver's car in the global mid-size saloon segment". Yet that's exactly what Jaguar has done and a closer look at the XE reveals the reasons behind their bullishness. The chassis is a 75 per cent aluminium monocoque, light but immensely strong. The design utilises a classically correct longitudinal engine and rear-wheel drive architecture. Jaguar reckons that this XE has the best electric power steering in class and there are plenty of chassis goodies like torque vectoring by braking.
Automatic transmission is now non-negotiable and the car continues to be available in rear and all-wheel-drive variants. Jaguar's advanced torque on-demand all-wheel drive (AWD) system and Intelligent Driveline Dynamics technology maintain the XE's rear-wheel drive handling feel and agility while improving performance, traction and driver confidence. This revised XE, as ever, is available with a choice of Ingenium petrol and diesel engines. The 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol is available with 250PS and 300PS outputs, badged P250 and P300 respectively. The 300 PS petrol engine, equipped with all-wheel drive, accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.7 seconds). While the efficient 180PS Ingenium diesel, badged D180, delivers 430Nm of torque and decent
A lot of negative comments below, obviously from those who have not driven one. I owned top german cars until I drove an XE. Drive one yourselves and you'll know exactly what I mean, no more said.
I was going to buy one but they were trying to rip me off on my trade in
@Corsham Viton
Do you mean they are still in thrall to Adolf Hitler? Kraft durch Freiheit and all that.
I’d love not only to drive one of these SUPERB cars but to own one, sadly I don’t have the finances to buy one.
That said, a fantastic review of a fantastic car, I’ve been a Jag lover since I first passed my driving test in August 1965!
Original Mk2 and the oh so fabulous E-Type!, brilliant cars.
@@paulmackintosh9964you can buy one now, depreciation is heavy!
"This car is an old school sports salon" and that's precisely why I love my XE.
You're supposed to be drinking (saloon) in it, not getting a facial or haircut (salon).

Forgot to mention it was a very well presented and in depth review of the new Jaguar xe. Thanks for the time and effort packaged into this video and you are absolutely correct, the drive, dynamics, and suspension of this car are superior in its class.
Is it just me or did anyone also enjoyed the well versed almost poetic deliverance of the review as far as the literary material was concerned. I think the reviewer is quite fit to become a literature professor with such eloquent style of presentation! Mood suiting to the mode of driving?! Blimey!
10/10 for design team
Best presentation of a Jag XE i have ever seen. I have seen a lot of them.
High praise indeed! Thank you for watching, Vladimir 👌
Brilliantly impartial review, thoroughly enjoyed. It's my dream to own this car.
Glad you enjoyed the review Will! Thanks for watching 👍
I’ve had a MY 2016 since 2017 and I’m very, very happy with it. The facelifted version looks even better & I hope you’re able to get the car you want soon.
Very nice. Whole jag range looks brilliant.
I have very happy and intrigued to listen & view for 1 hour & 5 mins. This depth analysis of this particular Jaguar XE was amazing. I learnt so much more about my car. Well done to you Sir and thank you. I live in Australia and I own MY20 - P3OO HSE R-Dynamic Model in Portofino Blue with Windsor Tan trim with 22,000 km's only. I must say people comment of the sleek looks. It's such a beautiful and refined car to drive. ( when I do drive it ) Most of the time stored in the garage with a satin car blanket on it.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you found the review helpful and that you're enjoying your Jaguar XE. It sounds like you have a stunning car. Do you have any favourite features you particularly love about your XE?
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply I enjoy the P3OO HSE R-Dynamic Model with maximum 221 kW in Australia but in UK bhp. & also the rear camera - cool feature also.
Beautiful looking car, Jaguar really has stepped up to the plate. Really good in-depth car review too!!
Cheers Jay!
They are great to drive. Handling, ride quality, engines. Would have this over any Bmw Audi Merc etc.
Congratulations on an excellent review. Absolutely top notch & thorough appraisal.
Thank you very much Stuart!
This guy did an awesome job at reviewing this car. Good one Sir.
at launch, it was the best handling car in the segment by far! jag's problem is established rivals.
yea 2 months until Alfa came and took the position and still has it.
I'm always a big fan of jaguars love them all
I bought a XE and it was a great decision extremely pleased with it
That's fantastic news, Neil! Glad to hear that you're enjoying the XE 👍
Excellent car. As a Brit, I would buy it every time. As a internationalist, I prefer the Alfa. Both beat the Germans for sexiness, engineering and style.
Sophisticated British review for a sophisticated British car.
Super comprehensive review. love these OSV vids.
Thank you so much, glad to help!
How does he manage all that snappy patter without a script? Most impressive.
This chap is faultless, he really has a skill for this and reminds me of Top Gear presenters from the very old days. Nice to see a bit of class on here these days
You repeated a lot of things here but overall v good. I have first gen 65 plate and love it. Best car I have owned I always look back after I walk away.
So it’s not just me that does it 😂
The Jaguar XE is a fantastic car to drive, it always was. It had issues which have been solved, some of them were silly things that if Jag hadn't tried to rush it out the door could have been done. A 2016 executive car with no Apple Carplay when things like a Vauxhall Corsa had it is crazy! The other issue which was one of the few reasons I didn't buy one at the time was a pushy sale team, I spent over 3 hours in the dealership and saw many people walk out for the same reason I did. I went elsewhere and bought a car with everything I wanted for a better price and much nicer sales team. It was such a shame as the Jag XE is a dream car of mine.
has apple card play now !
@@nigelmorley5414 It does now but in comparison to smaller hatchbacks 6 years ago it didn't
@@devon896 That`s exactly what I said . NOW being the important word
The poor old X-Type comes in for another hammering here but they sold many more of them than XEs and there are still a lot of them around.
I've still got a 2.0D X type with 162K on it. MOT soon so needs some investment.
@@John_Wood_ Oh yes, glad to hear it. I had an X-Type 2 litre diesel with that Ford Transit engine. Not a bad car but I just could not get along with the 5-speed manual gearbox. I did have some memorable drives with it, including a run from Gatwick to Hythe in Kent with an average speed of , shall we say, close to the national speed limit.
@@BackwardFinesse Yes, the transit engine has been the best part of it. Apart from a leaking injector currently. Bit thirsty also. Fixed the rotten sills and the clutch. Dread thinking how much i've spent on it :-)
I have XType an love it, wonderful looking car described here in France as a well built and reliable car
I keep my X-Type, because of it's "Britishness" of the Interior! Why would one like to drive a British car? Because of it's Britishness! And exactly THIS, the modern Jaguar's are lacking of! Pitty for the brand!
That looks well sharp!! Fantastic video by the way, keep it up 👍
Volvo is cooler
@@dragospahontu So is ice, but a Jaguar has more class.
These are really good to drive. Great ride quality and handling.
Thanks for the great feedback, Simon 👍
I have the 2017 XE 2.0 Diesel. It is an excellent car with great fuel efficiency. I disagree on the interior part, I think it is quite comparable and probably better put together than an A4 of the same year. The main reason this model didn't sell was the arrogant JRL dealers. They never make you feel welcome, don't follow up and won't budge on price. You cannot do that when you are fighting established rivals. Something has to give.
I think your probably the only one that thinks that. If the new much improved interior is still not as high quality as audi/bmw.
@@Andy-zi1wj Well, I might be biased as an XE owner, but I didn't like that dial in Audi A4 and no touch screen. The dealer said it was 'Audi's commitment to safety' to leave the touchscreen out 😂👌 Also, the cabin plastic was easy to pull off and had gaps. BMW interior (literally) melts away after 5 years and half the electronics pack up. Also, I checked out my colleague's Z Series when she bought it brand-new. Few months later, console broke and the leather started wearing out. 60,000kms later, the British leather in my XE and no signs of wear on the plastics either. So, I am happy to argue this any day.
@@freightliner_86 The thing is you own & drive one most on here are just repeating like parrots & probably dont even have a driving licence.
@@eastwood978 Aye - probably a bunch of kids.
@@freightliner_86 I agree with almost everything you said (except for the dealer part - mine has been great). I've had BMWs and I've also owned the X-Type, XF, F-Type, and now the XE R-Sport. The Jags have all been better, in many ways.
Nah mate you need to do your research. The X Type was actually a very competent car, the press at the time even put it close to being a 3 series beater. Even Clarkson liked it. What went wrong was:
1. Styling didn't appeal to younger customers that bought compact executives.
2. Press made a massive deal about the 10% of parts it shared with Mondeo.
3. Range was launched with only 2.5 and 3.0 V6 Petrol. It should have launched with a diesel range and smaller petrols to compete in the volume part of this market. They fixed this far too late.
The actual car itself was solid and performed well, what ruined it was Ford being totally clueless about the type of customer buying compact executives.
Clarkson was a clown ffs 🤦♂️
The V6 would have been seriously interesting, but with only 4-cylinder engines being available, I have bought a Stinger GT. Brilliant car and significantly more value for money as well.
JAGS ARE AMAZING LOOKING CARS , class always comes to mind 👌👌👌❤️
They used to be. Today's Jaguars look like a Chinese Audi copy, unfortunately.
Just purchased an XE. Always liked them for their 'understated' aesthetic and class, rather than that ostentatious "Look at me" brands seen flooring it everywhere.
Congratulations on your new XE!
Have owned the bigger XF for about half a year now, couldn't be happier, very comfortable and crisp handling. I'd suggest people opting for the bigger XF, looks better also.
Mine is 2018 and they only got better in 2019 with the interior upgrades.
Great video, as always you guys have a very good quality and professional review.
I think it looks great, very agressive and sporty look it will appeal to young potential buyers.
The only thing I could complain about the new XE model is the bezel design for the navigation system and also the mini screen that comes in the middle of that touch climate control.
I love this Jag. 😍👍
So successful review , thank you so much ..
It looks amazing. It kinda failed in 2015 because it was too expensive in most of the Europe and the reliability rumors still haunt Jaguar as a brand.
@Corsham Viton they sell much much more than this. So recalls naturally will be more.
It's looks even more menacing than the old 2015 xe models
Thank you for watching 👍 Are you looking for a new car at the moment?
More luxury, more technology, more value but less rear seat space and comfort
2:07 front arch looks damaged?
It's definitely the handsomest of saloons right now. I just wish it were more reliable and had 50 more HP.
I've had my 2017 XE R-Sport for 4 years now -- zero maintenance issues other than continuous In-Control Pro software updates.
Other than the back doors having the same shape as many other models, it looks really nice.
Is it just me or did anyone also enjoyed the well versed almost poetic deliverance of the review as far as the literary material was concerned. I think the reviewer should is quite fit to become a literature professor with such eloquent style of presentation! Mood suiting to the mode of driving?! Blimey!

excuse me is the presenter of this video uses the rp accent or what about of his accent
Wonderful, very professional. The only thing I would say is the XE has always been a saloon worthy of consideration since it was first launched. Any buyer who didn't has missed a trick. Not everything has to be textbook perfect to be best in class, and it is in my opinion.

@@OsvUkVehicleSupply I actually found the review slightly confusing, as I watched the 2016 review recently by your channel and at that time it was very well received. Now you seem to be slating it, at least at the beginning. I've never heard anybody complain about the cabin noise, and overall you seem to be making the same noises as you did back in 2016.
My opinion, and it is only that, is that Jaguar were harmed by their perceived mistake that was the X-Series. I say "perceived" because it was actually Ford's mistake, anybody who understood the class would have known that just putting a new skin on the Mondeo would never work, but everyone who reviews the XE keeps on harking back to that, and it's surely not helpful. For me, all things considered, it's been best in class from day one.
Very nice review that could have been improved with more of your personal opinion. As is, the review sounds more like a manufacturers sales pitch.
I still enjoyed it though as I was completely unfamiliar with Jaguar.
I like it and will add to my short list.
We appreciate the feedback Rick, thank you. Will pass this on to our video team 👍
I Wish was a 2 Door, Like XJ Coupe of the 1970s.
there is no V6 supercharged engine and that's what will spell its doom.. very sad. I owned a caesium blue Jag XE 3.5t S with 340 bhp and boy that one rocked. i miss it. Damn you Jaguar for not getting a V6 for the new 2020 models. Peace!
But hey i now own a racing blue Jaguar XFRS!! love it.
Hi Ash,
It's always great to hear from someone who's found a car they love driving.
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply thnxx :) ...yes love the Jags.. they are quirky but special. I wish they had put in the supercharged V6 in the new XE though. Such a bummer!

bravo jaguar
Nice to see they have improved the look of the steering wheel a bit by reducing the size of that huge circular air bag that ruined the interior look of the last model.
Strange. First time I've ever liked the pre-facelift better. F-Type as well as XE. Inside, as well as outside.
It's like the first XF - the 2011 refresh is how the car should have been from launch, and the current XF should now be a step on again. The XE was always competing against established rivals while being slightly inferior in almost every respect. The XJ was lovely in 2010 although now is laughably outdated compared with, say, an S-Class. Even the E-Pace and F-Pace are merely 'pretty good' in a marketplace crowded with excellent rivals. The F-Type has just been restyled when, by my count, it's coming up on seven years old now, and running on a platform that was designed on a shoestring in 2004. The 911 meanwhile... And the i-Pace? I'm still not sure what it is or how it acts as a halo for the rest of Jag's range. Here's a tip Jag, if your infotainment is known for being laggy, don't launch your new all-singing all-dancing rolling tech demo without fixing it first!
Slightly inferior? Engineering wise, the Jag was hugely superior! Still is!
new system is very good
It would look much nicer with round headlamps. And without those giant scoops on either side of the grille.
For getting in and out of the rear seat, one should remember to order the optional hard hat.
The original XE was a beautiful car with a bland interior and rubbish electronics. The facelift is a vast improvement. Sadly they have the same issue with the XF. I have a 2012 XF that I've had for 6 years now, after over 20 years running Mercedes E Classes. The driving dynamics are vastly better, even than the current E Class, and the looks 10x better, but the interior, ergonomics and electronics are way behind the Germans. I forgive it every time I get on a twisty road or just look at it, but wish I didn't need to.
The problems Jag has are easily resolved. Just get a focus group of ex German car owners. Simple ergonomic changes and a few small materials adjustments and they'd have world beaters. Still, everyone buys SUVs these days I guess - and at least JLR have the best products in that segment.
I have always felt the same about the jaguar xe and xf. Have you seen the updated xf just launched.
@@richardrichard9631 I have and a massive improvement it is too. Pretty sure that’s what I’ll be swapping my current XF for when the time comes.
@@julben1900 I have ordered a new xe. With the drop in price and improvement in standard equipment and entertainment system it was too good a deal. Also my head and heart were in agreement on buying it.
The lack of HP is was killed off the Jaguar market. The big V8's that came with the early version of the XF & XJ series was a major selling point, once Jaguar went to the 3.0L and now the 4 cylinder even with a turbo doesn't make up for the feel of the power across the power band with the 5.0L models. I had an loner XE while getting service on my wife XF and it was night and day feel. I recently purchased a XJL and purposely went for an older model with the V8 supercharge engine.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍 How are you finding the XJL?
The competition is just too strong. I would prefer to have a more luxurious stance like the old 2005 model rather than a sporty stance. Sporty luxury cars is highly competitive in this day and age.
By no means better though. When Jaguar is perceived as equally reliable, people won't hesitate. Let's face it: suspension wise, it's well ahead of all but the Alfa.
The most complete and eloquent review I've seen.
Now, what really happened to the XE? Why did it flop, especially in its home country? Seriously, I thought that in a country with so many brexiteers, it would be at least as popular as its German competitors.
Fantastic car by the looks of it but like most cars in this segment I wouldn't like to spend my own money on one but as a company car a great choice.
I have an XF so I know how sexy these cars are - it gets admiring glances wherever I go.
I’m sure this new Jag is a great car, but the length of this video will only entice the already converted and not the curious.
Thank you for your feedback. We also have a shorter version of this review which provides a brief overview of the vehicle: czcams.com/video/CR8685zJvsM/video.html
What a brilliantly put together review - and what a fantastic car
All i want now is for you to toss me the keys!
Considering this car against the maxed spec Mazda 3, but the looks on this are sooooo nice
Is the car body is made of aluminum too? Or only the chassi?
Sharp looking car, but they need to sort out the shut lines around the bonnet/headlamp clusters. Poor alignment is too obvious.
The directional wheels on the right side spin in the wrong direction. The left side sweeps whereas the right sides scoop. The left wheels and right wheels should mirror each other Jaguar cheaper out on this.
I liked the review but too many repeats of the same points.
The main reason I didn't get one was price. I really wanted one but didn't want to pay extra for like for like spec.
Looking nice.
Can you get a 2018 say under 10 grand that's not a basket case, I was thinking about auctions where's the best auctions for Jaguar?
The old gear selector is far nicer than this version.
Tolles Auto!
I couldn’t believe it when back in the early 2010’s I heard Jaguar were developing 1) A car to take on the 3 series and 2) Building a new factory near Wolverhampton to build ICE's to power it. It was obvious even then that the industry was going electric and Tesla have proved that to challenge the ‘German Establishment’ you have to think different. The Model 3 is outselling all the German equivalents in the USA and this year is setting about Europe with a car that outperforms the XE and all the German offerings. It doesn’t matter how fancy your petrol or diesel (yuk) burning efforts are, the electric motor is simply a superior device and that factory in Wolverhampton will have to switch to making electric drivetrains. Until Jaguar can think radically about how to take on the German’s the XE and their other models will be sales pups. The only car Jaguar sells all it can make is the iPace.
Hardly. JLR's range is world class. The Germans haven't exactly set the world on fire EV or SUV wise. JLR have made huge leaps. Soon, they will compete better on the boring stuff.
@@miyahtallulah Let’s hope so. They are losing money and don’t have the scale of Mercedes/BMW/Audi. The ICE engine plant near Wolverhampton was a massive investment which will be difficult to recover but it makes sense to turn the Ingenium engine to the job of a 3 cylinder 1.5l generator for PHEVs to help the inevitable transition to BEV. Fact is that Jaguar is a small company, only propped up by the Land Rover arm which has much bigger sales. There is just no point in trying to ‘out-engineer’ the Germans, the electric motor makes all that clever engineering irrelevant..they need to focus on design with a clean sheet approach as they did with the iPace.
I think jaguar should be thinking of competing with the executive markets as there once did before. Such as compete with the Mercedes-Benz S Class but a little cheaper.
They do..they have the XJL which competes with the S class, Audi a8 ,and the 7 Series
@@reeseyarbrough4004 and the new XJ is likely to be stunning! Why cheaper than an S Class? Jaguar is a notch above Merc. When do we ever see a Jaguar taxi?
For me, biggest turn off for the BMW or Mercedes is the boring black, black, or black interiors - like being in a cave
Love my F type R!!😁
Lucky you! Beautiful car.
Best looking car out there,I can only afford the xe but love it, people need to start buying these beautiful cars before it’s too late and they are no longer,everybody seems to be brainwashed by ze Germans, well people jag are back order yours today

Brilliant review, the most thorough ever. I've always liked Jags and this one is gorgeous on the outside but hugely underwhelming on the inside. Dash still l just a big slab with bizarre shapes above vents and nothing but a huge lump in front of a passenger. Not worthy of a luxo brand.
Hi just jumping in im hoping in a few months thinking of getting a new car and ive been looking at jaguar. I have never had one before but seen great reviews on them like this review but as a family man I'm looking at the XE and XF is there much difference between them.

I like my (2018) XE. The tech then was far more than I needed. The biggest failing - stemming from its beauty - is poor rearwards vision.
I really like the Jaguar, but why is nobody buying it?!
What do you like most about it Murad?
The looks a d the use of Aluminium to save weight. I think it's by far the best looking car in its class. I also like the fact that it's British. (I'm German btw😊).
"Awful, old circular transmission selector"...first of all, I don't really think it was selecting transmissions (if I'm not mistaken, there's only one transmission), but, rather, gears. More important, there's nothing "awful" about a control that allows your hand to rest in a natural position while ELECTRICALLY selecting a gear. Why do we need a big stick to operate electrical switches? That "old" knob that elegantly and silently rose up to meet your palm upon start-up and just as elegantly and silently rotated to Park and then descended into the console at shut-down was a very luxurious touch. Jaguar has taken a giant step backwards by returning to the same ugly, pointless stick that every other carmaker uses, and sticks out like the sore thumb that it is. Totally pointless design for an electrical control, and a terrible and totally pointless design regression.

Honestly I think it's down to how stubby the boot lid is, looks like a chopped XF
Hmmm. I don't think it's as simple as that man.
i have had 2 new 3 aeries since its launch, really wanted the xe, couldnt justify on c02 /performnce v 320d, and next car v 330e hybrid, lack of hybrid really silly miss. both 3 wer msports, very good apart from trully terrible steering feel ( ruins the car ) , and not very good break feel, plus nobbly ride, so its an open goal for me , but missed again, they have sorted desil now , but hybrids the way forward now, wen can i have 1? to compete with 330E please?

Hi Raival, you can raise the ground clearance by around 0.5 - 1 inches by upgrading the tyres to a larger size 👍
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply thank you
That looks like it has big screens in it...probably doesn't right?
30 quid to top up the ad blue tank? You can buy 10L of the stuff for a tenner.
If only it didn't make the cabin stink of piss on extended motorway drives.
@@C.I... You don't have to store the whole 10L in the boot.

@@C.I... Well it's either that or cheat the emissions test.
@@earthstick Could go the mazda route and develop a low compression diesel engine.
why you compare the dynamics to BMW when Alfa is the most dynamic car in this segment. Jag is also its closest rival as individual alternative to boring germans.
Hardly "boring", but essentially, you are right
Very cool car but that price OOMMGG.

Hi Brian, we have a shorter version of the video available, they upload every Wednesday.
Is it eiger grey or indus silver?
Should be eiger grey.
Buddy could you review Japanese cars like this too ie: Lexus saloons
Simply awesome than mercedes and BMW
Lovely car, but do we need it? A higher stance or bigger/longer load area would differentiate it from the standard German competition. Why not a hatchback or coupé version? There is just too much 'we need a 4 door saloon' thinking at board level that maybe the buying public are just not switched onto nowadays. Julian Thompson, step up to your mark.
Because Jaguars are low slung cats. This is Jaguar DNA. Anyone who wants more load space, buy the FPace!
OOH... I know this car... This is the new 2020 Mazda 6 signature..nice!
Quality control?
I've had my 2017 XE-R for 4 years now, and the only maintenance issue has been the entertainment system -- and even then, only software issues. Their "In-Control Pro system" (more like Out-of-Control Amateur system) is apparently based on a Microsoft OS and it sucks big time. Hopefully they've gotten another software vendor for their new models.
