For traction in slippery conditions, Jaguar offers All Surface Progress Control (ASPC). Other noteworthy features include the first Jaguar to use electric power steering, while the suspension feature a double wishbone configuration on the front and an Integral Link system usually found only in larger, more expensive vehicles on the rear. A 3.0 litre V6 petrol is also offered, with further engines to join the line-up. Of more interest is an aluminium-intensive monocoque, the only car in this class with such a structure, making the XE the lightest, stiffest – and most aerodynamic – Jaguar saloon ever built.Ī new company car friendly 2.0 litre diesel from Jaguar’s Ingenium in-house family of engines is on sale from launch and comes with 163PS/380Nm, while offering CO2 emissions of 99g/km and up to 75MPG. Styling wise, Jaguar is playing it fairly safe, taking definite cues from the XF and F-Type. That this is a critical model for the long term future of the brand is without doubt, and for the rear-wheel drive XE to succeed against some of the most highly regarded cars on the roads, Jaguar knows that it has to excel in all aspects.
That Jaguar is looking to confront the established German brands head-on was clear at the no-holds barred extravaganza of the new XE’s unveiling at Earls Court in London which drew heavily on the Big Cat’s renowned motoring and motorsport history.

Is the compact executive fleet car market set for its biggest shake-up in years? The launch of a new sports saloon from Jaguar aimed squarely at BMW’s 3-Series, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi’s A4 is certain to generate a lot of interest from company car drivers and fleet managers alike.
