The
new Jaguar XE (facelift) that had debuted globally in February 2019 has been
launched in India, with prices starting at INR 44.98 lakh*. With the facelift,
the Jaguar XE has gained a host of exterior and interior styling revisions.
On
the outside, the facelifted Jaguar XE comes with slimmer LED headlights and ‘J’
blade DRLs which complement the remastered front bumper for a more assertive
look. At the rear, it features equally intriguing Hi-Line tail lights with
dynamic turn signals. Over the sides, its newly designed machine-finished
17-inch alloys further promise a more planted look.
Moving inside, the facelifted Jaguar XE's cabin uses a completely new
dashboard layout which is way more sophisticated and appealing. Furthermore,
there is also a fully digital instrument cluster, a larger, 10-inch touchscreen
infotainment system and an additional touchscreen, which gives it a more modern
touch. Other interior highlights of the new Jaguar XE include ‘Remote’ (allows
you to check car status remotely), smartphone pack with Android Auto &
Apple CarPlay, wireless device charging, air quality sensor, Connected
Navigation Pro, smart settings with AI for driver seat, mirror, audio and
climate settings and Wi-Fi hotspot.
On
the mechanical front, things look more or less the same. Speaking of which, the
new Jaguar XE is available with a choice of 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine
which is responsible for delivering 250 PS and 365 Nm of torque and a
2.0L turbocharged diesel engine producing 180 PS and 430 Nm of torque.
