Cost of ownership
What is the running and servicing costs of a Jaguar XE?
All Jaguar XE’s need servicing every 0 Months months or 0,000km km, whichever comes first.
How does the 2024 Jaguar XE drive?
Our expert take on Jaguar XE drivability.
Power in the XE comes from a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine making 221kW of power and 400Nm of torque. It’s dubbed P300, because 221kW is 300hp – naturally.
Power is put to the rear wheels through an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.
The XE has always had an ace up its sleeve. Jaguar spared no expense developing its chassis, from its aluminium-intensive architecture to the complex rear suspension.
Nothing has changed in the facelift. The Jaguar XE is still an absolute honey.
Motoring writers love to wax lyrical about balanced rear-wheel drive sports sedans, the sort BMW used to make. A comparison with the Alfa Romeo Giulia is required to confirm, but it wouldn’t be a stretch to say the XE is the driver’s choice in the mid-sized sedan world.
That’s not to say it’s a sports sedan first, commuter second. The ride is well-judged in town, isolating the driver from both big and small imperfections. Body control is tight, so it doesn’t wobble around over speed bumps, and roll is well contained.
Give it a healthy dose of throttle coming out of a roundabout or tight corner and the rear will come gracefully into play, while the well-weighted steering makes correcting these little slides effortless. Or so we’ve heard.

Should you buy the 2024 Jaguar XE
Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.
The Jaguar XE is a real grower, no doubt about it.
It drives brilliantly, the updated interior is finally up to scratch, and the four-cylinder engine packs more than enough punch.
There’s no getting around the tiny rear seats, nor the small boot. But for the most part, the XE finally has the tools to take on the BMW 3 Series.
Would I buy one? Yes, although I’d make sure it was optioned with the fancy dual-screen Touch Pro Duo climate control system as well.
It’s hard to look past the 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Each is crushingly competent, and the Jaguar can’t match them for practicality. It also doesn’t come close on the technology front.
But the XE makes you feel good in a way the Germans arguably can’t – and I’d have one over a non-QV Alfa Romeo Giulia in a heartbeat.
Good job Jaguar. Now it’s time to apply some of that magic to the E-Pace.
