This is the new Jaguar XE L for China. The XE L is
the long-wheelbase variant of the Jaguar XE sedan. It will debut later this
week on the Guangzhou Auto Show and launch on the Chinese car market in
December. Price will range from 298.000 yuan to 418.000 yuan.
Wheelbase is extended by 10 centimeters for more
space in the back. You can best see the extension by looking at the roof line
from the B-pillar to the rear. The line stays straight much longer than on the
regular XE.
The XE L is manufactured
locally at the Chery-JLR joint venture. Engines: 2.0 with 200 hp and another
2,0 with 250 hp. The former will be designated 20T, the latter 25T.
The Jaguar
XEL will compete with comparable locally-built L-cars, including the C-Class L,
the Audi A4L, the BMW 3Li, and the Volvo S60L. Ten centimeters might seem a
little but it translates into a lot of extra space for the legs or the dog.
Nice beige leather with gray carpets.
Dash is the same as on the regular car. Wood is
always good; panel around the drive selector.
