Product Code Database
The Jaguar XE (X760) is a front engine, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive four-door compact-executive saloon car manufactured by Jaguar Land Rover and marketed under their Jaguar Cars marque for model years 2016–2024 — across a single generation.
The successor to the Jaguar X-Type, it was designed by Ian Callum and launched at the October 2014 Paris Motor Show. Production of the XE ceased in mid-2024.
The XE is noted for its aluminium suspension componentry as well as its bonded and riveted aluminium Unibody monocoque structure, without need for a reinforcing space frame, pioneered by Jaguar on their third generation XJ-series (X350; from 2002) — the first in its segment.
An extended-wheelbase version—exclusively for the Chinese market—called XEL commenced production at the Chery Jaguar Land Rover plant in Changshu in 2015.
The four-cylinder is available in both petrol and diesel variants, in a range of different power outputs. The diesel significantly reduced consumption and carbon emission figures, and is capable of fuel consumption less than and producing CO2 emissions of only 99 g/km. The cleanest models in Britain pay no annual Vehicle Excise Duty.
From the XE's launch until 2017 the petrol four-cylinders were from Ford's family of "EcoBoost" engines. New Ingenium petrol engines replaced the Ford units beginning in the 2018 model year.
From the XE's launch until 2019 the petrol V6 was from Jaguar Cars's family of AJ-V8 engines. After 2019, the V6 engine was no longer offered.
In late 2020, mild hybrid options were announced, as modifications to the Ingenium 2.0L engines with an additional 48 Volt BAS hybrid system.

The exterior design has a drag co-efficient of 0.26.
In 2019, the XE was facelifted, bringing updates to the exterior as well as the interior.
Interior revisions in 2017 include cupholder covers, revised and higher resolution display and standard infotainment interface marketed as InControl Touch Pro reliant on a user-provided data connection SIM card.
In 2019, the interior was revised with new door panels, centre tunnel and a revised infotainment system marketed as InControl Touch Pro Duo, shared with other Jaguar Land Rover products. The automatic's rising rotary knob gear selector was replaced with a more conventional type marketed as the Sport Shift Selector.
The major suspension components are manufactured from aluminium to reduce the unsprung mass as well as overall vehicle mass and increase the suspension system stiffness. The suspension system features sacrificial slip-fixings to protect expensive major components from damage. To create the 50:50 weight balance the battery is located in the boot, consuming space normally accommodating the spare wheel. The rear boot floor and boot lid are steel, contributing to balanced weight distribution.
Single-piston are provided with one of three different sizes of Disc brake fitted, depending on the vehicle's configuration. An electric power steering system is fitted and the XE comes with a choice of four different road wheel sizes. Initially there were eight available alloy wheel designs.
All XE models are equipped with a ZF 8HP45 or ZF 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission,Jaguar XE Technical Data: ZF 8HP45, accessdate: 22. February 2017 a lighter variant of the gearbox currently fitted to other Jaguar models and period competitor BMW 3 Series (F30). A six-speed ZF manual gearbox is available on diesel models.
The XE uses a traction control system marketed as All Surface Progress Control, developed from the Terrain Response system fitted to Land Rover's off-road vehicles and allowing better traction in snow and ice.
