Road Test: 2017 Jaguar XE - This Time, For Real 

I have the 35t AWD it seems slower than the one tested 0-60 in 5.4sec

How are the repairs? Is it expensive to keep up?

Thinking bout buying Would it b hard to get repairs for this thing??

same^^

How are the repairs I’m thinking of buying one

These reviewers are paid off by competitors...it's all about who has the bigger check book cough cough bmw

Jim Morris Yes! I have a S-Type 2007. Lovely.

Jim Morris . The same opinion. X-Type looks like a small copy of a great XJ, but this one seems to be a nice budget car not more... At least inside...

My x-type just hit 21 years old and still drives me to and from anywhere and everywhere.

R-sport has the same engine and output numbers.

craig doss lesson learn from cadillac

It's disgusting!

Jaguar clearly doesn't understand the US market. Entry level cars are now coming with LED while Jaguar charges for last generation Xenon.

Craig D, my Chrysler 300 has LED daytime running lights but the jag doesn't?? WOW they cheeped out on that one LOL

Base model I guess

Even more sad is you have to get the prestige trim to get leather. Alfa Romeo Giulia comes standard with leather.

Because it's mercedes benz the best or nothing

I'm 6 years late but yes this was a base model lol.

The Prestige is going to have more options oh, but it is unfortunate that finding one with a driver assistance package is very difficult. The only way you could tell is on the front grill right around the logo is the radar sensor

But I would highly consider just getting an excess, much more standard options, and used car prices are around the same for both the XE and XF, and make sure you get a CPO

Sure it beats the A class but the XE isn't a sub compact car it's in the compact class meaning the XE is going against the C class and let's be honest the c class stomps the shit out of the XE in every way possible

Ford makes Jaguar.

​@@theladyandsonplus2 Not anymore. Ford had little to do with the XE

Ford lol. I wouldn't own anything from ford that was made at the maxx after 1990. Maybe the mid 90s f 350 diesel if I had a purpose for it and that doesnt even have a ford engine in it ( it has the 7.3L model t444e engine made by international/navistar which is a transport engine). Newer Chevy and dodge arent much better. 90s chevy trucks were bulletproof I've seen plenty go more than 500,000 km, the 5.7L (LT1), 2.4L and 3.8L car engines from the 90s were pretty decent too but the 3.1 and 2.2 sucked as far as reliability/longevity goes. everything since the late 90s in terms of American made cars is a waste of money as far as I'm concerned and even then there was plenty of terribly unreliable cars made in the 90s. I rented a 2017 dodge charger for a couple months in 17' and I liked driving it no doubt but the quality just isn't there anymore. The euro "executive" cars are hands down the best and if given a choice between a car like the C class, 3 series, a4-a5, or jag priced around 40-50 G VS a charger or something similar in price that's American it'd be a euro car for sure. Now which euro car would be the hard part lol

agentd36 the front wheel drive vehicles are no comparison to the jag Xe 35 t awd Have had my 2017 since new and currently at 32K trouble free miles last year installed race chip and it went from stick 340 to 409 horsepower and 390 lbs of tourqe using 94-96 octane Should see the faces of the new mustang gt and Camaro ss owners when they challenge me to race em from a red lite

Yea but GM is garbage throughout.

The jag shown in this video is the most basic model there is. You can get a much nicer interior for that car you just have to pay for it. Chevy base model interiors are just as boring and overall the chevy is gunna start falling apart after a couple of years and will be worth a couple grand whereas the jag will still be sexy af and still worth a few bucks to the right buyer if it's been looked after and maintained. At the end of the day the chevy is still the same generic mass produced p.o.s that you see a 100 of every day and the jag is gunna turn heads wherever it goes regardless of what the interior is like

Hyundais and Kias look a lot better than this, at least on the interior.
