Which XE does Edmunds recommend?
From basic to fully loaded, the XE spans a broad range that should satisfy most buyers. Our choice is with the Prestige trim with the 30t engine. The Prestige version of the XE comes with all the typical accoutrements that luxury-car buyers are looking for, while the 30t engine's 296 horsepower is enough to bring a smile whenever the throttle is pushed to the floor.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Jaguar XE Sedan
Driving
7.5While its thrust and braking are workaday, the XE has a fundamentally good chassis. Its all-wheel drive is largely invisible from behind the wheel, affording traction without spoiling the steering.
Comfort
8.0Don't go thinking that the R-Sport billing will ruin the ride quality. In fact, the ride is appropriately firm but never harsh. It's the highlight of the XE's comfort. The seats and well-balanced noise levels don't disappoint either.
Interior
6.5The interior is a mixed bag. Though there is enough front headroom, this is a small cabin that feels even more so due to the design of the dashboard. The driving position is quite good, but visibility could be better. None of its shortcomings are deal-breakers, but competitors are more consistent.
Utility
6.5Its trunk is reasonably deep with a low liftover height, but the cabin storage is skimpy. Its nooks are small, and the door pockets are suitable for maps only. The limited backseat space may be an issue for packaging the car seat.
Technology
6.5The XE's optional upgraded navigation system interface is a fast, feature-laden and worthwhile improvement over the standard one if you're not a smartphone nav user. The smartphone integration can be clunky. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto would be a prime solution for this.
