@@MatiKosa I can only compare it to the 3 series I owned, every model except G20. Almost all 3.0 and 2.5 diesel, a few 2.0 petrol. The XE is (even) more fun to drive and it still turns heads in a way mercedes, audi and beamers don't anymore because they're more common than VWs at this point. I can't comment on reliability yet, my only complaint is the backup camera sometimes not switching on and, when it's cold, the car complaining about low battery when it's not low battery. But I prefer it over every BMW I ever owned, except for my 2001 E39 M5, but that was probably the best sedan ever made.
AR still saying they have chip shortages, i thought car makers where mostly back on track..i am hoping they reinstate 360 degree cameras and the clearsight camera ( shark fin) soon.They where withdrawn about 2 and a half years ago with the chip shortages.
I love my XE, its the older generation but its handling is superb really good fun on twisty roads. A great review...I've got my eye on a newer model now 😀😍
XE was a good looking car always. But after the 2019 changes, it looks awesome. Sorry to any BM fans, but the new revised XE exterior hands on trumps the latest BM 3. There is no arguing that.
I have had my first XE since 2017 and love it. Where I live it is a rarer car on the road, and I love that plus its handling and exhaust note under heavy acceleration. Now I am in my 9 month wait period for my next XE, but luckily still able to enjoy my first til it arrives!
@@stevesutton8688 Excellent.That is with the current upgraded hybrid engine. Good to know. What colour did you go for and are you on the standard 18 inch wheels?
Anyone drive one of the latest diesel XE's? Excellent price brand new here in UK at moment. £4k cheaper than the petrol version. I am presuming the brand new models no longer have the timing chain issue?
Past before years it was not good for reliability , but from decade TATA MOTORS🏁 have took the initiative. And there is High possibility 👍that among there report _JLR_ sales report get Good position till 2025 Though the build🌟 quality & reliability has improved of Jaguar in present days .💝
The 3 series looks like an old design pimped up a bit, whereas the XE looks like a fresh modern and elegant design. BMW have completely lost their way with design over the last 10 years and they just look like they don't know what to do about it.
If its down to driving the car and fun driving the xe is better thats why i bought one but the bmw practically is better but wanted a fun drive and the xe is fantastic
Tried to buy a Jaguar XE last week 9/22 to be told Jaguar have not built a XE or XF for 20 months. Dealers do not know when one will be available. Pity as I believe where possible to support British industry, unlike our present Government. Still looking for a car.
Bought an XE after almost 20 years of driving 3 series. It is a great car and you don't see ten thousand people a day with the exact same car.
What are your impressions and thoughts? Is it XE P250? How would you compare it to the latest G20 330i?

I preferred XE p250 RWD and adore it every single time driving. Feels way more special than BMW! Thanks for the video.
Agree with your review, and would add this; the XE looks and feels a lot less common than ‘yet another 3 series’.
Ordered the XE a few months ago, bloody chip shortages. Beautiful car

How has the XE been for reliability?

Love my Jag XE D200 MHEV Black Edition, it the drive is fantastic and the spec is insanely good.
How are you getting on with your diesel XE? Reliable and good MPG i hope?
very well thanks@@FéargalO

Although I own an XE, and I love it a lot. I think you forget to mention BMW’s the rear seat space and the powertrain are superior.
Just got XE D200 R Dynamic MHEV and soo impressed with car!

Cars performing great! 60 mpg on Motorway steady runs

Car is black on black with red callipers 19in wheels 🙏
Bought an XE and love this car. Won't be going back to Audi

Can't beat a good bit of British engineering
BMW = invisible. Jaguar = Jaaag 😊

I drove both cars recently and came to the same decision for the same reasons as yourself.

Just got the XE 35t Portfolio Limited Edition.
The best version, basically. How much did you pay for it?

Really torn between an XE and an Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce 😕😕🇬🇧
A thoroughly deserved win. The jaguar looks so much more special than it's german rivals. Unfortunately its ignored by the badge snob brigade.
bravo 🐆
XE 👍
XE looks more aggressive 🐆
Jaguar 😍
BMW 😴
The new 3 series looks ugly. I liked the older design.
