2018 Jaguar XE S 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
I am so glad I chose this car over any of the rivals. Everything about the cars driving dynamics such as the acceleration, handling and exhaust note is way above the competition. While the seats are a little uncomfortable after a long journey, the beautiful stich work and a perfect steering wheel make up for it. All of the mechanical portions of the car have been extremely reliable however the electronics have not. However the dealers do take care of any issues for free.

2017 Jaguar XE 35t Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)

Almost into to the second year on my leased 35t AWD Premium model. Mixed emotions but overall I still love the car. I Love the engine, handling/suspension, steering, transmission, basically everything involving the driving experience! Now I will say I would never buy this vehicle or any Jag used or without a FULL warranty! Within my first year of ownership it’s been into service several times. A part on my sunroof broke upon my first use of it. Within its first 1,000 miles they had to replace a part to fix the wind/bug deflector that pops up when you open the sunroof. Then the infotainment system went completely dead. For weeks I had issues with it and it seriously pissed me off because without the infotainment system working, you cannot listen to music, use your handsfree device, adjust climate settings, use heated seats, or use the backup camera... it was awful. It was so bad that even when it was “dead”, it drained my battery even when the car was locked and not in use. One morning my car almost did not start because it had drained the battery so far. .... Obviously I had my jaguar in the service department at least 2 times until they decided to just give me a loaner car until they could officially fix the issue. They told me that Jaguar was aware of the issue with the infotainment system but had not released a software update yet to fix it, and were being told it would be at least 1 month before a software update would be available. That floored me and I called corporate offices and sent an email to them expressing my extreme unhappiness with the situation. I was paying for a brand new expensive luxury vehicle under full warranty and I couldn’t use half of the options of the car! The best the dealership was offering for me was a loaner until the update became available. I was given a Jaguar case manager and they contacted the dealership service department and issued them an order to replace my entire infotainment system with a new one. I was skeptical because it’s the same system... My car was in the shop for a full week as they had to completely take the whole system out and replace it. So again, I would never buy a Jaguar used or without FULL warranty, as this would have cost me thousands of dollars. This all happened with less than 10,000 miles on the car. Luckily, after fixed and done with, I have had no issues at all. The car is still a dream to drive and I love driving it around town, and on twisty roads at high speeds. It is also fairly comfortable for long distance driving. Nice surprise, now I have 18,000 miles on the car and I have gotten 38mpg on the highway at reasonable speeds. It can QUICKLY go lower when driven hard but it is capable of 35+ mpg when driven right. This thing practically idles at 70 mph with the 8speed transmission and the engine power driving it. I wish they would stop putting continental tires on these cars, I really can’t stand them but so far they are doing OK. Obviously the back seat is far too small but coming from a 2 door Mercedes I didn’t think too much of it. The car is very difficult to get in and out of. I am tall and my seat position makes it difficult to get out of. Sound system is just OK.... definitely a big downgrade from my Harman Kardon Logic 7 which was disappointing to find out...also no SiriusXM.... but roll down the windows and just enjoy the 35t exhaust is the best! Sounds great! I think Jaguar is doing great things with their new designs, their warranty and lease programs, and the driving experience of their new vehicles. I drove an F-Pace 35t while my XE was in shop and I loved that car so much, I am considering rolling into the F-Pace when my lease is up. Jaguar also makes you feel valued as a customer with their “gifts” that they send to you in the mail. They sent me some valve stem caps in a nifty case that I got a kick out of receiving. They also send a subscription to their new magazine for owners. The Jaguar app for your phone is nice....only when it works. If you have issues with your phone or your data connection you can’t remote start your vehicle. Sometimes the app is glitchy for me. I would prefer a remote start button on my key fob- as phone is not always reliable and you have to wait for it to log in, send and download messages from the vehicle. I’ve had to delete and reinstall the app a couple different times because I couldn’t get the remote start feature to work. Anyway, I’m still overall happy with the vehicle. There are times when I regret trading my Mercedes on it, but there is no comparison when driving the vehicle. The driving experience is wonderful. The technology and sound system are subpar. It needs more storage up front. Resale value is pitiful! It’s more of a sports car than it is a luxury vehicle but that is what makes it compelling. I will have a hard time looking at any vehicle with less horsepower after owning this car, it’s a hard one to give up. Great engine in the 35t.

Leased a Jaguar XE 35t Prestige with Vision and the InControl Pro Packages. Incredibly fun to drive, handles like a dream and sounds awesome in dynamic mode.

2017 Jaguar XE 35t Prestige 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)

I agree that many Jaguar sedan models have a somewhat cheap looking interior compared to the competition, but check out the 35T Prestige model. This model has a very luxurious leather interior that compares to the very best competitors. The AWD and supercharged 6 cylinder engine are expensive options but they turn the car into the luxury car you imagined. Very fast, very economical, and the best warranty of any luxury car, bar none. The back seat is indeed a little tight, but if you primarily carry two people or maybe two plus kids, it is perfectly fine and definitely comfortable. They could solve this by making the front dashboard on the passenger side about 2 inches shallower. We have owned a Mercedes and a Volvo, this model is better than either of them. Don't waste your money on any of those overpriced 4 cyl models that every manufacturer is pushing. When you step on the gas in a Jag, you know you made the right choice. Lovin' our 35T. It is now four years old and I still stand by my original comments. A great car and a great warranty. Excellent service.

2017 Jaguar XE 20d Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbodiesel 8A)

I leased this car 3 months ago and so far I am totally in love with it. The styling, handling, overall feel of the entire car is fantastic. I drive between Washington DC, NYC, Philadelphia monthly and has not let me down once. The Diesel engine is totally awesome and I always get fabulous fuel economy. I never have a problem finding diesel fuel anywhere either which is one of the first questions people ask when I tell them that is indeed Diesel. The leather is beautiful and the overall sophistication and look of the cockpit is great too. Im a bit of a car freak and over the past 7 years have owned a Mercedes Benz SL500, Infinity G37x, Audi Q5, Audi A3, as well as a BMW 535I. I had a moment when I wanted to be practical and bought a Toyota but last only lasted 5 months. Anyways its really a terrific car. Now not all cars are perfect... lets talk about some of the things that I don't like about the car and drive me crazy. The sound system is good quality, not the best but its just good at reasonable volumes. When you turn it up some of the speakers don't sound too hot. The plastic bottom door area rattles sometimes depending on the type of music you are playing and drives me nuts. Another thing that happens while listening to music loudly is that the piano black veneer trim I think rattles slightly too off and on depending on the song. I notice this more when the bass is tuned up anymore than half way balanced. The backseat legroom is terrible and always feeling like people are squeezing into the back seat. I am under 6 ft tall so someone sitting beside shouldn't ever be a problem unless they are taller than I am. Also getting in and out of the car is a little difficult. I don't know if its because its very low, or the angle of the drivers seat or what but I feel like an old man getting out of it sometimes and I'm in my late 20's. But really at the end of the day it is a fantastic car. It turns heads and just has such great style thats not overdramatic and in your face like some of the other brands. My sister and her boyfriend both have BMW 3 series and after driving my new Jag they are trading both in and looking at this car and considering the new F PACE. This will not be my last Jag, if this one treats me well for my 3 year lease I will be looking at getting another XE, or perhaps trading up and getting the XJ. I feel that all of the things I don't like about my XE will go away if I get myself into an XJ.
