Any news on Jaguar XE?

[cacicgtp7]

So I saw one of these on the road this week, looked really sharp. It was only the 2.0 version, but the 3.0L version with the supercharged 6 is really intriguing. Very interested in how this is going to match up against the BMW 340. [MENTION=12]Bru[/MENTION] have you seen any of these or heard anything on how they are performing?

Right now you can build one on the site but no delivery dates. Loaded up I got one to 57K... would be an intriguing lease option if they have any incentives when it arrives.

Looks really good but they have had barely any press on them yet

I believe the official on-sale date is May. If you're seeing one on the road I bet they're going through dealer training or something similar. It's way tiny on the inside, like more similar to a CLA or A3 sized versus the larger 3 Series or C Class. All driving related promises sound pretty stout, and that supercharged V6 is an amazing engine in everything else.

Are you sure on size? Jaguar site shows the XE at 183 inches with 111 inch wheelbase and the F30 is 182 inches 110 in wheelbase? They seem pretty close.

Jag doesn't have any interior dimensions yet except their trunk space.

Yes. Cars can be big on the outside and small on the inside. Every Ford SUV, for example. Plus specs can lie. Auto shows are great for getting into all of these cars back to back and the XE was at LA last year.

Interesting. I'll have to check it out when it hits dealerships for sure.
