Jaguar Land Rover India has announced the launch of the new Jaguar XE. Available in the S & SE derivative, the new Jaguar XE is offered with 250 PS Ingenium Turbocharged Petrol powertrain and 180 PS Ingenium Turbocharged Diesel powertrain options. Both the engines are mated with the 8-speed Automatic Transmission with Jaguar Sequential Shift.
The new Jaguar XE appears wider and lower than before, with large front apertures, bold graphics and muscular forms, all alluding to the car’s performance intent and advanced aerodynamics.
New all-LED headlights with a striking ‘J’ blade daytime running light signature and Animated Directional Indicators create a more purposeful look.
The rear of the car also features a new bumper design and slender all-LED tail-lights with updated signature graphics which accentuate the visual width of the car, while the 17-inch wheels give the new Jaguar XE a more planted appearance.
The exquisitely crafted all-new interior features superior materials with extensive use of soft-touch surfaces, premium veneers and all-new door trims to enhance appeal and practicality.
The F-TYPE derived Jaguar SportShift selector on the revised centre console is ergonomically designed to facilitate intuitive, rapid manual gear changes of the 8-speed automatic gearbox. A new steering wheel, shared with the all-electric I-PACE, features ‘hidden-until-lit’ graphics and tactile switches for intuitive control of key functions.
Packed with features and brimming with technology, the New Jaguar XE gets a new 10-inch ‘Touch Pro’ infotainment screen with Smartphone Pack (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay) as standard.
Other highlight features include Smart Settings with AI (Artificial Intelligence) for driver seat, mirror, audio and climate settings, Lane Keep Assist and Driver Condition Monitor and Online Pack (Wi-Fi with Pro Services that adds Real-Time Traffic Information, Door-to-Door routing and Estimated Time of Arrival).
The ‘Remote with InControl Remote App’ allows the owner to check the vehicle status like fuel level, window open etc. via phone. The sedan also comes with Connected Navigation Pro navigation system, Wireless Device Charging, Air Quality Sensor, Park Assist and more. The Interactive Driver Display uses high definition crystal clear graphics to show 3D maps, vehicle settings, contacts and media options.
The new Jaguar XE has been designed and engineered to offer agility, responsiveness, maximum aerodynamic efficiency and stability along with the refinement that all Jaguars are renowned for.
From the SportShift selector that offers a sportier shift to the Control toggle switch that enhances usability, while Jaguar XE’s lightweight aluminium-intensive body structure continues to play a major role in the car’s agile handling, exceptional safety and efficiency.
Aluminium makes up 75 per cent of the body and combines with the proven rear-wheel-drive system, double-wishbone front and integral link rear suspension to offer a superior drive.
