XE showcases the car’s impressive fuel efficiency and advanced technology. With

#### Conclusion

A new Jaguar XE joins the range and that means two things most immediately. Firstly,
Jaguar will be more instantly recognisable than ever before. The new XE is the first
Jaguar that can be easily mistaken for a premium car and this is a major step up
for a brand that has so long striven for understated and elegant elegance.
And secondly,
Jaguar will have its first SUV in the form of the XE. The XE is generally a great
car. It’s not the best car on the market but then again, it isn’t the worst. It’s
a good car that does most of what you want it to do. Ideally, it’s a car that has
just enough personality to make the driver smile and isn’t too interjecting.But 
it’s not sports car, it’s not a track-day special, and it is emphatically not a 
hot hatch. It’s a well-built and well-executed car that is pleasant to drive and
that is comfortable. And that’s it.

#### It’s not a car that is going to blow you away with how much it can do.

But it’s not unduly compromised either. It’s a strong car, with a good ride and 
a responsive engine. And with a starting price of just £32,995, there’s no reason
not to wander down to your local Jaguar dealership.
You won’t be disappointed.
