Jaguar XE Global Roll Out In Mid 2015, Features At Glance
British car maker Jaguar has officially announced the name of its long awaited compact sports sedan to be Jaguar XE. It will be powered with a new generation of Ingenium engines, which will offer a class-leading performance. XE will also be the first Jaguar to use the advanced aluminium-intensive architecture, which was first exposed on C-X17 crossover concept at the Frankfurt Motor show last year. Jaguar claims XE to be the most advanced, efficient and refined sports sedan in its class. This will be the first aluminium monocoque vehicle in this segment. Designers of this compact size Jaguar XE claim that they have focused mainly on its design, size and exciting look.
The structure of XE is exceptionally light for engine to be mounted longitudinally and drive the rear on four wheels. About the exteriors it has an aggressively sloping rear glass which is Jaguar sedan design hallmark. It looks more or less like the company's larger four doors. Jeff Curry, Brand Vice President of Jaguar, North America claimed that this all new Jaguar XE will bring Jaguar into the largest segment of luxury car market with a dynamic new entry which will change the status-quo of the luxury car brands.
Take a quick preview of the Jaguar XE teaser in video below:
The Ingenium Engine:
This new modern Jaguar will be the first Jaguar to come with this new range of engine. Ingenium is a new family of premium, light-weight, low- friction and low emission engine. It is high-output, fuel-efficient 2.0 liter, Four-cylinder engine and comes in both gasoline and diesel versions. These engines are efficient, powerful, capable of emissions of less than 100g/km CO2 and claimed to achieve a top speed of over 186 mph. It is designed for rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive compatibility. It is aimed at offering latest innovations in fuel-efficient technologies without sacrificing its drivability.
Aluminium-intensive architecture:
This scalable aluminium architecture will help Jaguar to achieve best-in-class fuel economy. Its features include lightness, stiffness for unbeatable handling and performance along with refinement and efficiency. Jaguar claims that the new engine and aluminium chassis complement each other perfectly.
Jaguar XE can be viewed as a legitimate small sports car which it desperately needed to compete with segment icons like BMW 3-series lineup, Audi's A4, Mercedes C-class and latest Lexus IS. As Jaguar's sedan is currently limited to highly priced, gorgeous and great XF and XJ models. The launch of this model can be expected to act as a catalyst in boosting its sales. For buyers, it offers a smaller, less-expensive entry point to the brand. Also the launch of this car will finally banish any remaining memory of the Ford Mondeo-based X-type from a few years back.
