POSITION 3 AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE STEP BACK FOR AN OVERALL VIEW MESSAGE: The design of the all-new XE is distinctly Jaguar both inside and out KEY POINTS Simple form, sharp lines, pure silhouette, sporty silhouette; this is what Jaguar is about. ~ Ian Callum, Jaguar Design Director Jaguar cars are about great proportions, fantastic silhouettes the optimum expression of metal I ve always believed any good design can be drawn in two or three lines. ~ Ian Callum When looking at the XE head on, the Jaguar vehicles family resemblance is instantly recognizable. An upright front grille, distinct hood bulge, headlights that come off the grille to create an eyebrow effect. The sporty profile of the XE is accentuated by its coupe-like silhouette. A long hood and short rear overhang emphasize the cab-rearward proportions, while the strong rising waistline adds a sense of drama and movement even when standing still. In the rear, the XE has taillights derived from the E-Type and most recently followed through to the F-TYPE and XF. Diesel derivatives are fitted with a single side twin tailpipe while the gas engines receive a dual tailpipe. The XE is based on our Lightweight Aluminum Architecture, which uses expertise derived from the aerospace industry to deliver premium vehicle characteristics in performance and refinement. Saving weight without compromising durability, it provides very high torsional stiffness, supporting precise handling. It helps achieve optimum weight distribution approaching 50:50. The lightweight structure not only reduces fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, it means that the XE range is able to achieve a maximum speed of up to 120mph. Torque Vectoring by Braking provides additional control and cornering precision via targeted rear wheel braking. Electrically Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) allows steering assist to be provided as needed, with more assistance when maneuvering at low speed and more feel at high speed. Available Jaguar Instinctive All-Wheel Drive is enhanced with a new Intelligent Driveline Dynamics control This enhancement ensures that optimal torque is delivered for maximum traction, performance, stability, and yaw control.
