After a lot of artificially generated buzz, then, is it so far, Jaguar has the canvas of their brand spanking new XE met. This is what you need to know.
All six-year-long talks of the rumors about what Jag plan would be with them in 2008 captured type name XE. A successor of the famous E-Type was not, that role is already reserved for the F-Type. No, the XE is a compact saloon that the German leasetoppers, i.e. the 3-series, A4 and C-class, difficult.
Construction and design
Jaguar makes the XE, extensive use of the (recycled) aluminium, for both the stiffness as the weight reduction lend a hand to help. The brand gives a display of unladen weight from 1.474 kg. The sedan will drive the rear wheels and is built on a new modular platform. Manufacturing takes place in Solihull, where a new JLR-section of 1.5 billion pounds is dropped.
Outside of the fact that the aluminum is that the clock strikes, the XE is the first cat that is equipped with electric power steering. Also noteworthy is the low drag coefficient of cw = 0,26. The slicke carriage further has a recognisable design for Jaguar, though it is the mutual difference between the various models but larger than in the Audi-family. In particular, the front is what concerns us was very successful, but at the same time, we are not yet quite sure of the bulky taillights. Anyway seems to be the XE is a better attempt to riders of the well-known German leasetoppers about to pick up the (pretty unsuccessful) X-Type at the time.
The chassis
On the front is for the suspension used double wishbones, at the rear is the ‘Integral Link’ system fitted. Also here is the construction for a large part built of aluminium. Also get the XE electric power steering (EPAS) to reduce the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have improved, but given the fact that Jaguar is their new flagship positions as a rijdersauto pur sang, we need not fear for a lack of feel.
The engines
To start with the door in the house to fall, we start with the topmotorisering. The XE S gets the blown 3-liter V6 from the F-Type, which is good for 340 hp and 450 Nm of torque. The standaardsprint therefore takes just a hint longer than 5 seconds and the top speed is limited to a politically correct 250 km/h.
Further, Jaguar has info up about the 2-liter four-cylinder diesel, which is under the new ‘Ingenium’label. This (for the XE probably most important) engine verstookt on the test cycle of just 3.8 litres per 100 km, and remains in regards to the number map of CO2 per km, just below the magical limit of 100 grams. Despite the green figures, the driver is a decent 163 horsepower and 380 Nm at your disposal.
As regards the range of petrol engines, of course, not at the sporty V6. There is also a blown 2-litre four-cylinder engine is available in two different performance levels. Both benzineversies will be linked to an 8-speed automatic from ZF, while the zelfontbranders also can be supplied with a manual gearbox with zesversnellingen. They also that in the file their linkerkuit want to train, so their draw.
Safety
Safety is of course an equally relevant topic as the environment and Jaguar with the XE thought. So the ‘All Surface Progress Control’ to make sure that the traction at lower speeds (3.6 to 30 km/h), always optimal. They who ever with a achterwielaandrijver on winter sports have been will Jaguar be grateful for this novelty.
For the head-up display using laser technology. This system is not only lighter, but is the info on the screen is projected also better readable. In addition, mounted to the vicinity of the vehicle in the holes to the autonomous noodremassistent of service.
Furthermore, the car is equipped with a adaptive speed control, detection of fast approaching traffic, blind spot assist, semi-automated park assist, and detection of the rear coming traffic during the reverse drive.
The interior
The interior is equipped with an infotainment system, packaged in a 8-inch touchscreen. In addition, the system can be controlled with spoken commands. In addition, it is possible to use the InControl Remote means of your iOS or Android phone the climate control to operate, the doors to lock or unlock and start the engine. With InControl Apps, you can just do it from the driver’s seat of the apps on your phone, so in the file a round Tinderen belongs to the possibilities.
The price
About this, Jaguar has unfortunately still not very much info given away. There is a starting price of 35,000 euros, but it is unclear what version this indication. However, we do know that all further information released during the Paris motor Show on 2 October this year.
