Jaguar XE 2018

FROM
$26,070

The 2018 Jaguar XE range of configurations is currently priced from $24,990.

Our most recent review of the 2018 Jaguar XE resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: I've always been a little baffled by our sudden shift to SUVs, and spending time in the Jaguar XE S only confuses me more. It's fun and frantic at pace, comfortable enough around town and small enough to make parking a snap (yet big enough to fit most small families).

Jaguar XE 2018 FAQs

How can I be sure I'm buying a Jaguar XE with the Ingenium engine not the Ford EcoBoost one?

Jaguar began the switch from the EcoBoost engine to the Ingenium unit in its cars late in 2015. In the XE model, however, that change didn’t occur until late 2017, so a car with a build date after that should have the newer unit. The problem is that a car sold in 2018 (by the time it arrived in Australia) could easily have been built sometime in 2017 and, therefore, could carry either engine. For the definitive answer on what engine a particular car has, the best idea is to check the car’s VIN with Jaguar Australia or a Jaguar dealership.

Jaguar vs the Germans

The XE is a classy car and, after a preview drive in Europe, I think it will work for you as a downsizing choice. Writers rate Jaguar below the Germans because of the make's history and quality, as well as personal experiences of problems.
