MUSCULAR LOOKS
"It's about paring it down to the bare essentials. Good designers have always said less is more."
Ian Callum, Jaguar Design Director.
The XE stands out from the competition with the clean surfaces and dynamic looks that form
the core of Jaguar design. This is because the Lightweight Aluminum Architecture gave its
designers the freedom to work alongside engineers to optimize the car's proportions – The XE
is unmistakably a Jaguar. The long, distinctly defined hood is aerodynamically sculpted to
channel air over and around the body for greater eciency. Along with the rising waistline and
'cab rearward' design, it ensures that the XE shares the athleticism of the other cars in the
Jaguar range. TheXE is crouching, ready to pounce.
EXTERIOR DETAIL
INNOVATIVE DESIGN
One glance at the XE and you know that it could only be a Jaguar.
From the headlamps featuring Jaguar signature 'J' blade Daytime
Running Lamps*, the powerfully sculpted hood, and the chrome
side vents, stamped with the Jaguar name, all the way to those
distinctive rear haunches. Only Jaguar, as a world leader in aluminum
car construction, has the technology and expertise to create sharper
creases from deeper, more innovatively formed pressings. The body
side curvature of the XE is aerodynamically honed to sweep air
seamlessly rearwards to the tail. The deliberately cropped rear has
a short overhang, underscoring the car's performance credentials
and enhancing airflow. It culminates with those iconic tail lights that
are inspired by the F-TYPE sports car.
*Available with Bi-function Xenon and Adaptive Bi-function Xenon headlamps only.

INTERIOR
COCKPIT FEEL
Connect with XE the moment you slide into the form-hugging seats –
you sit low in a Jaguar. Next to you the raised center console adds
to the cockpit feel.
Pulsing with a heartbeat, the car creates an emotional connection
between driver and machine. Its 72 per minute double beat is the
same as a jaguar cat at rest. Press the Start button and XE awakes,
the needles sweep, the engine growls. The JaguarDrive Selector rises
to greet your hand.
The outer air vents are unique in the way that they extend the fascia
to nestle in the door casings and give the feeling of width and space.
Throughout XE the natural forms of the interior architecture lend
themselves to the extensive choice of contemporary or traditional
materials and finishes. XE is an inspired place for driver and
passengers to be.

PERFORMANCE
ENGINES
INGENIUM ENGINES
The XE is oered with a range of highly advanced gas and diesel engines, including the
4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine from our Ingenium engine family. Whether you
choose our latest hi-tech diesel engines or you prefer gas, each one oers performance,
refinement and economy7 to suit every driving style. The engines are equipped with
Stop/Start technology and smart regenerative charging – harvesting kinetic energy from
braking to charge the battery – for maximum economy, especially during city driving.
STOP/START TECHNOLOGY
INGENIUM DIESEL ENGINES
318 lb.ft. of Torque
The XE is oered with the 2.0 liter 4 cylinder 180HP Turbocharged Diesel from our Ingenium
range. Ingenium is the new breed of engine designed by Jaguar Land Rover for eortless
performance, refinement and eciency
construction Ingenium delivers impressive fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Typically,
44 lbs lighter than equivalent previous generation engines, Ingenium is intrinsically more ecient.
And intelligent too – computer controlled, adaptive engine cooling only engages as required.
The latest generation variable geometry turbocharger maximizes peak power for low speed
torque and responsiveness that is uniform, progressive and avoids lag. Internal friction –
the enemy of performance and eciency – is 17 percent lower in the Ingenium range than
previous generation engines.

TURBOCHARGED GAS ENGINES
0-60mph from 6.5 sec
The XE is also oered with the 4-cylinder turbocharged gas engine
that oers power and responsiveness throughout the rev range,
while improving eciency7. The 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged gas
(240HP) engine achieves 6-cylinder engine levels of performance8 and
refinement from a more compact and economical structure.
SUPERCHARGED GAS ENGINE
0-60mph from 5.1 sec
The 3.0 liter 340HP V6 supercharged engine has been adapted for the specific
requirements of the XE. A Roots-type twin vortex supercharger is mounted in the
'V' between the two rows of cylinders for compact dimensions. Supercharging
provides linear delivery of power and maximizes responsiveness. This results
in performance
reducing emissions. The engine also features dual independent variable cam timing
to vary inlet and exhaust valve operation, working alongside lightweight pistons
with ultra-low friction piston rings, for increased performance and eciency
For added refinement there is a twin, contra-rotating balancer shaft system.

ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS EFFICIENT
The XE form has been rigorously optimized for aerodynamic eciency and stability. With a drag
co-ecient as low as Cd 0.28*, The XE cuts through the air – reducing fuel consumption and lowering
emissions. Every element exploits the exterior's maximum aerodynamic potential while preserving
the stunning proportions of the XE. Vertical apertures in the front bumper's outer edges channel air
through vents in the wheel arches and out over the front wheels. Even the race car-inspired underbody
protection and diuser is designed to make the XE as ecient, economical and refined as possible.

LIGHTWEIGHT
ALUMINUM ARCHITECTURE
BALANCED STRONG AND LIGHTWEIGHT
Jaguar has been at the forefront of aluminum car construction for more than a decade and continues to push the
boundaries of this technology. The XE is based on our Lightweight Aluminum Architecture, which uses expertise
derived from the aerospace industry to deliver premium vehicle characteristics in performance and refinement.
This immensely strong bodyshell uses a high strength 6000 series aluminum alloy. Saving weight without
compromising durability, it provides very high torsional stiness, supporting precise handling. It helps achieve
optimum weight distribution approaching 50:50. The lightweight structure not only reduces fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions, it means that the XE range is able to achieve a maximum speed of up to 155mph8.
