2023 Jaguar XE price and specs

Now there’s only one.

Jaguar has axed the two R-Dynamic variants of its XE mid-size sedan for the 2023 model year, leaving a lone 300 Sport variant.

A Jaguar Land Rover spokesperson confirmed the XE 300 Sport is arriving in Australia in the first quarter of 2023, with orders open now.

The 2023 Jaguar XE 300 Sport is priced from $79,825 before on-road costs, $3955 more expensive than the previous flagship R-Dynamic HSE.

Standard specification is largely carried over from the R-Dynamic HSE, but it gains 20-inch alloy wheels, a Black Exterior pack, adaptive suspension, and a 17-speaker Meridian surround sound system.

It misses out on the Matrix LED headlights, perforated Windsor leather upholstery, and 12-inch digital instrument cluster, among other minor tweaks.

Instead it receives premium LED headlights with auto high-beam, perforated synthetic DuoLeather upholstery, and analogue dials with a 7-inch TFT display.

To the end of August 2022, Jaguar sold a total of 55 XE models. It was outsold by the likes of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class (2402 sales), BMW 3 Series (1832 sales), Lexus ES (694 sales), Audi A4 (344 sales), Alfa Romeo Giulia (181 sales), and Genesis G70 (60 sales).
