The Jaguar X-Type wasn't a big success but Jaguar is going to try it again with the XE. With a nice design and a lot of available engines, it looks pretty good for the XE. We're wondering for the most sporty XE of this moment, the S.
The XE is a real driver's car according to Jaguar. This model has to raise the bar in the segment of the sportsaloon thanks to a lightweight construction, beautiful looks and a luxurious interior. The production of the XE will start in 2015 with the S as top of the range model. Later, Jaguar will probably follow with a more powerful R version.
Jaguar won't wait with the introduction of a sporty XE. The S has the same three liter V6 from the F-Type. Under the hood we find 340 hp and 450 Nm of torque. The high revving engine is attached to an automatic eightspeed gearbox which takes the XE S to 100 kph in just 4.9 seconds. Jaguar does aim high in this segment. The XE will compete with the sporty German models. Back in the days when the X-Type was introduced there weren't much cars in this segment. The top speed is limited to 250 kph. Those who're looking for more power will have to wait for the R version.
Jaguar also introduces a few four-cylinder versions which aren't very interesting for us car fanatics. During the Paris Motor Show we will show you some photos of this spectacular new model. We think that this will be another success for Jaguar.
