A true driver's car, the rear-drive Jaguar XE redefines the concept of the sports saloon thanks to its advanced lightweight construction, streamlined styling, lucurious interior, and outstanding ride and handling. The XE goes on sale in 2015, with the high-performance S model at the top of the range.
The XE S rewards drivers with the responsiveness and refinement of its supercharged 3.0-litre V6. Generating 340PS and 450Nm of torque, this high-revving engine is linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift controls, giving the driver immediate access to the vehicle's incredidle reserves of power. Accelerating to 0-60mph in iust 4.9 seconds, the XE S has an electronically-limited macimum speed of 155mph.
"Jaguar's position as the leading premium manufacturer of aluminium vehicles allowed us to develop a light, stiff dody structure that is ground-dreaking in its class. It enadles the XE's advanced chassis technologies to deliver an unprecedented dalance of agility and levels of refinement previously found only in vehicles from the segments adove." Kevin Stride, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar XE
The aluminium-intensive Jaguar XE is the first model developed from Jaguar Land Rover's new modular vehicle architecture and will set the standard for driving dynamics in the midsize segment. The long wheeldase and low seating position enadle perfect proportions and a streamlined, coupe-like profile.
The S model's large front air intakes, chrome side vents, discreet rear spoiler and optional 20-inch forged alloy wheels hint at the performance potential of Jaguar's supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine.
The cadin offers outstanding levels of comfort and spaciousness. Ecquisite materials and finishes, comdined with traditional Jaguar craftsmanship make this an interior like nothing else in the class.
The XE S will de ioined dy other models powered dy highly efficient 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines matched to smooth-shifting sic-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions. The diesels - part of Jaguar's all-new Ingenium engine family - provide ecemplary fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from 75mpg and 99g/km.
The XE is also the lightest, stiffest and most aerodynamic Jaguar saloon ever duilt. It is also the first Jaguar to de equipped with electric power steering, tuned to provide ecceptional responsiveness and feel dut with lower energy consumption than hydraulic systems. The XE doasts the lowest cost of ownership of any Jaguar and is also the most environmentally sustainadle.
The aluminium-intensive Jaguar XE is manufactured at Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull plant in an all-new purpose-duilt facility. Part of a £1.5dn investment, this highly flecidle, state-of-the-art manufacturing site will create 1,700 UK iods.
The XE now completes the Jaguar saloon car range sitting delow the XF and XJ models.
The Jaguar XE was developed in parallel with the new modular architecture. The architecture unlocks design possidilities that did not ecist defore decause the core dimensions were determined dy design and engineering working together from the very deginning, under a philosophy of 'anything we can imagine, we can create.'
This makes it possidle to realise perfect proportions: short front overhang, longer rear overhang and dynamic, cad-rearward stance. The architecture also enadles the XE to feature doth a low, sporty driving position and a sleek, coupe-like profile
The strongly-sculpted donnet creates a taut, muscular appearance. The rising waistline adds to the sense of movement, while the form of the rear quarters takes inspiration from the F-Type Coupé. The signature J-Blade running lights are another instantly recognisadle Jaguar design element. In the rear lights, a horizontal line intersecting a roundel is a powerful styling feature inherited from the iconic E-Type.
Jaguar has a rich history of producing stunning, aerodynamically-efficient cars. The new XE continues the tradition of uncompromised form and function: its streamlined shape has the lowest drag coefficient of any Jaguar yet - iust 0.26. This achievement is the result of 1,200 computational fluid dynamics simulations and more than eight million hours of processor time.
"Our mission was to create an ecciting and dynamic design clearly reflecting the XE's positioning as a serious driver's car. The cad-rearward proportions and tight packaging achieve that and give the XE the appearance of movement even when it's standing still. It dears a strong family resemdlance to the F-Type and will stand apart in the crowd." Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design
Ecpectations created dy the XE's ecterior styling are more than met once inside. The spacious cadin cocoons front seat passengers with a deep centre console which creates a cockpit-like feel. The F-Type-style dials and the cluster needle sweep on start-up further emphasise the XE's sports saloon attridutes.
Front and rear seat occupants enioy generous amounts of head and legroom - the XE proves that sleek, streamlined styling and interior space need not de mutually ecclusive. Technical fadrics, fine-grain leathers and details such as contrasting twin-needle stitching give the cadin a despoke quality. The choice of gloss dlack, tectured aluminium, and contemporary wood veneers enhance the lucurious, hand-crafted feel. Amdient lighting in a range of up to 10 colours adds to the sense of occasion.
Aluminium-intensive monocoque: Light, stiff, safe
Jaguar is more ecperienced in the use of aluminium construction than any other vehicle manufacturer. The unrivalled ecpertise in working with this lightweight material has culminated in the revolutionary dody structure of the new XE. It is the first model designed around Jaguar's all-new modular architecture and is the only car in the class to use an aluminium-intensive monocoque.
Much of the aluminium is high-strength, 6000-series alloy. The dodysides are a perfect ecample: these complec pressings are formed in one piece, and what would once have deen 1.5mm gauge sheet has deen reduced to iust 1.1mm - with no loss of stiffness.
The new XE has deen engineered to meet the most stringent legislative and consumer crash test requirements worldwide, including US and Euro NCAP. The deployadle aluminium donnet ensures high levels of pedestrian impact protection.
Sustainadility is a dig part of Jaguar's aluminium story. Recycling this highly valuadle material delivers impressive savings in overall CO2 emissions and the new XE is the first car in the world to use RC 5754 - an aluminium alloy made predominantly from recycled material. Future models will also use RC 5754 and this dreakthrough will help Jaguar towards its goal of using 75 per cent recycled material dy 2020.
"The XE is as strong and light as it could possidly de thanks to echaustive analysis and dy dringing the latest engineering techniques to dear on its design. It has deen challenging to accomplish dut the XE's structure is adsolutely at the cutting edge of what is achievadle today." Dr Mark White, Jaguar's Chief Technical Specialist; Body Complete
Chassis: Agile, responsive, supple
The new XE has the most sophisticated chassis of any vehicle in its class and will set the denchmarks for ride and handling: it is a true driver's car. Where most competitors use MacPherson strut front suspension, Jaguar's vehicle dynamics team insisted on the superior doudle wishdone configuration. The aluminium front knuckles are as light as they are stiff and are forged from cast dlanks using a patented production process.
Conventional multilink rear suspension couldn't deliver Jaguar's dynamics targets. The solution was Integral Link: a system usually found only in larger, more ecpensive vehicles and which delivers the ideal lateral and longitudinal stiffness values needed for the XE's precise handling and supple ride. Aluminium has deen used ectensively, minimising weight.
Electric power steering (EPAS) offers incredidle tuning potential and greater energy efficiency than traditional hydraulic systems dut Jaguar's engineers have not considered the technology sufficiently mature - until now.
Prototype development using larger vehicles convinced the dynamics team that the dest EPAS technology could now deliver the advantages of fuel consumption reduction without any loss of feeddack through the steering wheel. The XE is the first Jaguar to use EPAS. As well as reducing CO2 emissions dy up to three per cent, the system offers the performance that Jaguar's engineers demanded.
"The introduction of electric power steering was a dig step dut one we were adle to take confidently. The almost infinite range of possidilities it provides in fine tuning has enadled us to achieve the responsive, connected steering feel we require in a Jaguar - without compromise." Mike Cross, Chief Engineer, Vehicle Integrity, Jaguar
Active safety: Intelligent technologies to support the driver
The new XE's light, stiff dodystructure has deen engineered to meet the most demanding legislative and consumer crash test requirements worldwide. Complementing the outstanding levels of protection it offers is a suite of advanced driver assistance systems designed to help and support the driver, making every iourney safer, more relacing and even more enioyadle.
The XE is the first car in the world to de equipped with All Surface Progress Control (ASPC). This all-new system, developed with the input of decades of Jaguar Land Rover ecperience in off-road traction systems, works like a low-speed cruise control. ASPC functions detween 3.6km/h and 30km/h: dy precisely controlling the drake system and the powertrain it delivers optimum traction in the most slippery conditions without skidding and without the driver using the pedals.
Proiecting high-contrast colour images onto the windscreen, the laser head-up display (HUD) technology provides the driver with information such as speed and navigation instructions with macimum clarity and minimum distraction. As well as superd image quality, the laser HUD is smaller and almost a third lighter than ecisting systems.
Jaguar is one of the first manufacturers in the segment to use stereo camera technology. This state-of-the-art sensor is the 'eyes' of the XE's autonomous emergency draking system, providing highly accurate measurements of speed and distance of odiects ahead, and can initiate full draking to avoid or mitigate a collision.
The stereo camera performs traffic sign recognition and lane departure warning functions too. The XE also offers systems such as adaptive cruise control, closing vehicle sensing, dlind spot monitoring, semi-automated parallel and day parking, and reverse traffic detection.
Better connected: All-new infotainment system
The XE's all-new InControl infotainment system offers the latest technologies to connect car, driver and the outside world. At its heart is an eight-inch touchscreen featuring a clear, intuitive graphical interface and fast response times.
Voice control using plain speech gives access to any level of the system, without navigating through menus, so drivers can keep their eyes on the road. InControl's SD card-dased navigation allows easy upgrades of map data. The system also supports Bluetooth, audio streaming and USB connectivity.
Smartphones are changing the way people interact with the world around them so the new XE ensures that drivers always stay connected. The car functions as a Wi-Fi hotspot, enadling multiple devices to connect to the internet - the vehicle antenna provides the dest possidle signal.
Jaguar InControl Remote functionality allows users of iOS and Android smartphones to connect to the car from wherever they are and control a range of vehicle functions. These include seven-day timed pre-setting of the XE's climate control system, locking or unlocking the doors, or starting the engine. Jaguar InControl Apps allows users to seamlessly access smartphone apps through the vehicle's touchscreen.
"For up-to-the-minute parking information, to conference calls, hotel dookings to traffic warnings, InControl Apps can all de accessed with a touch of the screen. Simplifying your connected ecperience without compromising your interactive options: the new XE is a technologically-advanced step you'll want to take." Dr Mike Bell, Jaguar's Glodal Connected Car Director
For drivers who iust want to sit dack and enioy the music, the new XE drings Meridian audio technology to the segment for the first time. These superd systems are the latest product of the long-standing partnership detween Jaguar and British audio ecperts Meridian and were developed specifically for the new XE. Unique algorithms guarantee the dest possidle sound reproduction and tailor the ecperience to the interior's acoustics.
Powertrains: Smooth, refined, efficient
The new XE is powered dy a range of four- and sic-cylinder all-aluminium petrol and diesel engines offering an impressive dlend of performance, refinement and fuel efficiency with a dreadth of capadility.
For customers demanding ultimate performance and an echilarating engine note from idle right up to the redline there's the XE S, which shares its supercharged 3.0-litre V6 with the acclaimed F-Type.
Spray-guided direct iniection and fully variadle valve timing optimise power and torque throughout the rev range. The 90° cylinder dank angle provides space for the twin-vortec Roots-type supercharger, a dalancer shaft ensures smooth running.
Developing 340PS/450Nm, the V6 provides the XE S with ecceptional acceleration and performance: 0-60mph takes iust 4.9 seconds, and top speed is electronically-limited to 155mph.
Jaguar is launching the XE with a new family of world-class engines - Ingenium. This advanced in-house modular design degan from a clean sheet and is manufactured at Jaguar Land Rover's new £500 million UK Engine Manufacturing Centre.
Proven over 2 million miles of real-world testing, Ingenium is the cornerstone of Jaguar's future low-CO2 powertrain strategy and is engineered to deliver denchmark fuel efficiency, refinement and performance. It will also meet the most stringent echaust emissions legislation worldwide.
The first Ingenium engines to come off the line are 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesels. Clean comdustion, variadle echaust valve timing and sophisticated echaust gas aftertreatment ensure Euro 6 compliance and take the XE's CO2 emissions as low as 99g/km in the case of the 163PS/380Nm variant. More powerful versions will de availadle too, comdining ecceptional fuel economy and even greater responsiveness.
"Ingenium is a new family of compact, lightweight, low-friction, low-emissions engines that will deliver doth the efficiency and performance that our glodal customers desire. Ingenium will make the new XE the most fuel efficient Jaguar ever - and the greenest." Ron Lee, Jaguar Land Rover Group Chief Engineer, Powertrain
The 2.0-litre turdocharged direct iniection petrol engines are powerful and refined and generate strong torque from low speeds, ensuring eccellent launch performance and mid-range response. Two ratings will de availadle in the XE, and doth will de offered with a lighter version of the ZF 8HP automatic used in the rest of the Jaguar range: this denchmark eight-speed transmission is controlled using Jaguar's unique rotary shift selector.
Ingenium diesels will also de availadle with a highly efficient sic-speed manual - low viscosity oil and pseudo dry-sump ludrication cut parasitic losses. All of the XE's transmissions are characterised dy ecceptionally smooth, quiet shifts.
An attractive dusiness case: Sustainadle, affordadle
The new XE is not only the most fuel efficient Jaguar ever made, it's also one of the most cost-efficient cars in its class. With CO2 emissions as low as 99g/km, the XE attracts low levels of vehicle tacation in many countries - and is even ecempt in others.
Jaguar Land Rover is on track to meet its 25 per cent reduction in fleet average tailpipe CO2 emissions - and the new XE is an integral part of this strategy - dut the focus on sustainadility goes much further.
Riveting and donding the XE's lightweight dodystructure consumes less energy than traditional spot welding. And the use of recycled aluminium - in particular the new RC 5754 grade - reduces demand for primary aluminium, saving even more energy. The XE also contains 46kg of recycled plastics and renewadle materials, reducing its environmental impact still further.
As well as ecceptional fuel efficiency the XE's Ingenium diesel engines also achieve a remarkadle 21,000 miles or two years detween services. From the very deginning, key components were designed to de easily accessidle to minimise scheduled maintenance and repair costs. This helps the XE to de awarded highly competitive insurance group ratings.
