It looks a bit too much like the XF. I would have preferred a fresher design.

Saw this on the Jaguar FB Page. Apparently it's the first aluminium monocoque car in its class.

Impressive! And I really like the new toned down LED DRL strip. Looks very elegant. The one in current XF is tackiness in bold letters.

MaserQ · 4th March 2014, 23:16

Handsome, sporty lines. Every bit a Jaguar. This baby is going to set the cash register ringing for JLR! Just cannot wait to see it in flesh.

Jaguar has announced the name of its new mid-sized premium sports sedan as the Jaguar XE.

Jaguar's BMW 3-series Rival - Now revealed (Page 5)-jaguar-xe-high-res-new.jpg

The XE will be the first aluminium monocoque product in the segment. This aluminium architecture was showcased for the first time in the C-X17 concept car at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2013 which is configured to suit in-line and transverse installations for rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations.

The new petrol and diesel engines will be named Ingenium, which will be four-cylinder two-litre petrol and diesel variants. These will be built at Jaguar Land Rover's new UK Engine Manufacturing Facility. Engine is expected to be tuned for top speeds of over 300km/h, and emissions lower than 100g of CO2 per km.

Global rollout for the XE will begin in 2015. Technical details and variants will be revealed later in 2014.
