The XE will be in the showroom at Royles in April 2015, with test drives available in May 2015 and deliveries following shortly afterwards.
The Jaguar XE will feature all-new and mostly aluminium architecture that's strong and very lightweight. The XE will also offer brand new Ingenium engines, designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK. The Ingenium engine line-up will first launch with a 2.0-litre diesel available for the XE saloon, a 2.0-litre petrol variant will follow later. Jaguar has previously revealed that these new engines will deliver CO2 emission outputs as low as 99g/km and also top speeds of up to 186mph.
The Jaguar XE will be a direct rival to other compact executive cars like the BMW 3 Series and the Audi A4.
The XE will be driven by the rear wheels, much like the rivalling BMW 3 Series, however the Jaguar XE will also have a newly developed traction control system called All Surface Progress Control (ASPC). This feature aims to improve grip in slippery conditions which cars with rear wheel-drive usually struggle against. ASPC functions like a low-speed cruise control, delivering optimum traction in low grip conditions without any skidding and without input from the driver's pedals.
Jaguar has also developed an integral link suspension designed to reduce road noise and improve ride quality compared to many other executive saloons. The new suspension should also deliver sharper handling.
The front suspension is based on that used in Jaguar's impressive F-TYPE sports car. Jaguar claims it will be as stiff as the performance-focused XFR saloon, which should result in precise handling for the XE. The compact saloon will be the first Jaguar to feature the company's latest-generation Electric Power Assisted Steering.
