The 2017 XE has become revealed in London before the idea
hits the auto-show circuit, you start with this month's Paris Auto Present. The
XE is Jaguar's long-awaited BMW 3-Series fighter--though that undervalues other
sellers that's erupted around the 3er in just the past few years - In the same
league of driving excellence and stylish appeal, we'd also nominate the
wonderful new Cadillac ATS, not to note the Mercedes C-Class and the Audi A4.

2017 Jaguar XE Review and Release Date
|
2017 Jaguar XE - Jaguar promises a true sport sedan in every
good sense, with rear-wheel drive, a lightweight body mostly consisting of
aluminum, and at launch, an exciting 340-horsepower supercharged V-6 engine.
The jewelry's kept in moderation: the XE S edition being
shown in Paris this month features a mesh grille, chrome fender ports, large
front air intakes, as well as 20-inch wheels. Coefficient of get: a low 0. 26,
though frontal area is not a spec we've seen yet.
2017 Jaguar XE Review and Release Date - Within, the XE's
cabin steers free from the glitz baked into the
XJ and XE. It's a practical
look dressed in leather with red piping within the XE S model revealed until
now, with lots of black gloss trim about the console. As in other Jaguar
sedans, the rotary transmission control rises from the wide swath of
piano-black toned. Center stage is a big new LCD screen the showplace for
Jaguar's brightly re-rendered infotainment screen. Gauges patterned after those
within the F-Type are framed by a meaty-looking steering wheel festooned with
buttons for ancillary controls, voice commands, even steering-wheel warming.
You can't accuse Jaguar connected with burying the
performance lead: the first car we'll understand in the XE lineup could be the
S model, powered by some sort of supercharged 3. 0-liter V-6. Electrical power
output is quoted at 340 hp and 332 pound-feet of torque, the exact same to its
ratings in different Jaguar Land Rover vehicles (XF four door, Land Rover LR4).
Coupled to an eight-speed ZF automatic with paddle shift
controls, the Jag
Jaguar XE is said to zip to 60 mph inside 4. 9 seconds, and
to press onto a top speed of 155 mph. Jaguar says the
Jaguar XE may also adopt some of its new
Ingenium engines--which means as time goes on the XE likely will acquire an
optional turbocharged four-cylinder as well as, we'd bet from the
F-Type rumor
mill, a manual transmission to start.
Under the aluminum skin - the Jaguar XE will ride with a
double-wishbone front suspension partly consisting from aluminum - while the
rear suspension will be a multi-link setup - electric power steering will be a
Jaguar first when it makes its debut within the 2017 Jaguar XE.
Because of the numbers, the XE measures inside at 183. 9
inches very long, riding on a 111. 6-inch wheelbase. General height is 55. 7
inches wide, width 72. 8 inches.
