Is this SE edition? That has to be the highest bhp figures in this price range i think.

It should be, power output of 330i fades in comparison. It should be a hoot to drive.

[AnandB]

I think those figures are incorrect. Neither Jaguar or ACI mention those figures.

The XE facelift continues to run the same engines as its predecessor, albeit in BS6 guise. A 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine is on offer, which produces 250hp and 365Nm of torque, and there's a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine which puts out 180hp and 430Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox.

184 kW = 247 BHP

132 kW = 177 BHP

As per Autocar India, the interiors will have only one screen in Indian version. What's the source of this article?

[shankar.balan]

Indeed a beautiful car.
You’ve mentioned that it is both lower and wider than its predecessor. May I know by how much?
I have seen a number of Jag XE’s in the used market in Bangalore for prices ranging from the early 20’s to the mid 30’s. They are certainly very good looking cars and somehow, I prefer them to the more expensive XF’s and XJ’s.

However, I dont think (from my own perspective) that I’ll ever be in the market for a sedan any more. Actually the last sedan I owned was back in 2002-2003 - an Esteem...

Attaching the feature list sent by a sales rep.

[Mr. Nobody]

For those thinking of 330i or the upcoming Skoda VRS 245 this seems like a good option too in the middle.

[haldar_siliguri]

The 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol has been in sale in India for a couple of years now. Nothing new with the engine options, the interiors are where the car gets majority updates, all of which much needed,

[docprashant]

The XE was always a looker and with this update they managed to spruce it up even more. The low and wide stance is a thumbs up. The only disconcerting fact however boils down to the reliability perception of Jaguar.

The XE (Petrol) vs 330i would be a good battle, and we just might have the RS 245 to spice up the affair. One good thing is that Jaguar has paid attention to feedback and has updated the interiors in sync.
