Jaguar XE:Review the specs, features and pros & cons

Jaguar XE Safety

The Jaguar XE is a safe car. The 2018 Jaguar has standard safety features like 4-wheel ABS, stability control and emergency breaking assist. You might want to consider additions such as:

 

• Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Lane departure warning and lane keep assist

The Jaguar XE has dual front side-mounted airbags, front and rear airbags and passenger airbag occupant sensing deactivation.

Jaguar XE Interior

The Jaguar XE has five seats and the interior is modern and clean. Though the materials are not as high-end as some luxury rivals, the interior is good quality overall. The cabin has standard synthetic leather and power front seats. Dual-zone automatic climate control is also standard. The additional features will take the Jaguar XE to the next level. Some highlights are real leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel.

Jaguar XE Technology

There is a lot to like about the tech offering of the Jaguar XE. There is the standard InControl Touch infotainment system (with 8-inch touch screen), HD radio, Bluetooth, USB Port and six-speaker stereo. Driver tech includes a rearview camera. The 2018 Jaguar XE does not support Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, but newer models do.




Because the Jaguar XE is a luxury car, there are many additional tech options to consider:

 

• 10-inch touch screen
• Wi-Fi hotspot
• 11- or 17-speaker Meridian sound system

Jaguar XE Space

The Jaguar XE has ample space. The cabin is on the small side, but the centre console is low, so it opens the space. Though the back seats are tighter, there is a lot of room in the front seats, even for taller people.




Especially for a sportier car, the trunk is large at 14.7 cubic feet. A nice practical addition is the 40/20/40-split folding rear back seat. The Jaguar XE is well-suited for single drivers or two-person trips.

Jaguar XE Comfort

The Jaguar XE is a match for other sports cars in its class and it delivers a powerful and comfortable driving experience. The ride quality is smooth on most road conditions, including uneven surfaces. Road and wind noise are kept low. Adaptive suspension and all-wheel drive can add to the overall performance. There are sportier models that have a firmer suspension, and if you want the model designed for the racetrack, check out the Jaguar XE SV Project 8.
