The car looks great from first impression, but after owning the car for over a year I'm over it. The whole car just seems cheap to me. The paint work seems to scratch so easy compared to other cars I've owned (I keep really good care of my cars). When washing the roof of the car, the roof panel behind the sunroof gives way / dents in. I don't know if it's justified, but if panels of the car are so weak, it gives me an impression that the car is not safe. Plus I haven't been able to find any safety ratings on this car, which doesn't help. The backseat is not designed for kids at all. The seat belts lock up continuously for no reason, which is a big issue when your kid (who is a highback booster) can't get their belt buckled. The seatbelt won't unlock unless it's fully retracted, which can't happen unless you remove the belt from the belt guide in the booster. Also the boosters overhang the seatbelt receptacle. Long story short don't get the car if you have kids. The leather or pleather on the center console arm rest has big air bubble where the glue is no longer holding the (p)leather to the under-surface. A speaker has blown in the front passenger side. It's just seems so cheaply made for a not cheap car!

Best Thing From Jaguar Since the F-Type

My transition from BMW to Jaguar has been nothing short of a wonderful experience. Save the higher-rated and, in many ways, more accommodating service of BMW, everything about the XE has given me a newfound appreciation for Jaguar. The now iconic F-Type put Jaguar back on the map from years of dullness and now the XE (and especially its sportier variants) are breathing life back into the Jaguar brand. From the sleek and elegant yet sporty design of the XE, there is very little that I don't love about it so far having put about 5k miles on my white knight 2017 35t. The acceleration and performance is gripping and the handling is on par and, at least in some aspects, even better than German engineering. Being on top of the game for some many years, it's impossible not to notice a scale back on quality of some German car brands albeit with simultaneous increases. However, with this price point and a few tweaks on design and technology, I believe Jaguar can make the XE, the most formidable opponent of the 3 series/4 series and A4/S4 and C-Class models that's been seen in many years. Please keep it up, folks at Jaguar!

There are certain things I love about this car. The engine is a beast It is beautiful and you never see them on the road, so there is some exclusivity to driving one Very comfortable cockpit in the front two seats, surprisingly smooth ride. Then there are a few negatives Electronic quirks, seems to need to get the system reset at Jaguar every 6 months Slow infotainment system at times, especially when you first start it up Ditch the Pirellis if you live anywhere where it gets cold, they chunk and grab on slow turns Overall I am very happy with this car, just wish some of the glitches did not exist.

New Jaguar XE 2.5t

The worst car I have owned. Poor build quality. Constant problems with the entertainment system that I paid an additional $2000 for. The poorest customer service that I have ever had There are other choices that are far better quality with better customer service. Don't make the same mistake that I made and buy a Jaguar

Looks were deceiving.....

The car was purchased new and it was my 1st Jaguar. In the past I had BMW 5 of them and currently mercedes c300. The Xe just was a lackluster car. After a few months of ownership I found myself buying add on items to dress the interior some. Never in the past with any other cars did I fine myself buying after market parts to make it less plain. After a year I was looking at other cars and looked forward to ending the lease. Some of the dislikes other than the plainness was no light in the glove box, no vanity mirrors, poor navigation and a blind spot between the door pillar. The seats were not comfortable enough for a long trip and not an easy car to get out of. I kept th car exactly 2 years and only had 7400 miles on it.....not a great car.
