@1betterthanyou1go drive a bland boring BMW and look like every car on the road then. Stay jealous and go drive a weak slow bland boring ford or Honda. You are stuck in the past boomer. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Mario Lopez what's not affordable about the Jag? Acura has been having some issues with reliability for a few years now. I buy based on what I like. The Jag had a great exterior but lacked in interior style and quality.
@Mario Lopez there have been plenty of car companies that have went through what jaguar is as far as losing money. I have a daily driver and the Jag wouldn't be it. My Honda gave me quite a few problems but my Hyundai didnt. My Acura has been great but others weren't as lucky. Transmission issues and a few other issues have plagued Acura for sometime even big brother Honda had issues. 45 thousand isn't bad for the XE I looked with the options I wanted. Not far from what my Acura cost. Do you have a vid of your type R? I always liked them.
I always loved the design of the XE and the subtle changes front and back are welcome. The interior is now also a bit nicer with that stupid gear dial gone. And it's priced not too badly either. The only thing that kept me from getting one last year was reliability. Having been bitten by LR in the past, hard, it's just not worth the risk for me. Beautiful car though.
Thanks André for an excellent review. This vehicle is one of the top and direct BMW 3-Series competitor and undercuts in terms of price. Most important of all is long term reliability, quality and durability. If Jaguar has these critical factors covered on this new vehicle, then it will be a winner!
I own the Alfa Romeo Giulia and think it's brilliant but my second choice would be the XE. Very pretty vehicle and handles well for a sedan. Entry level BMW is certainly not the definitive car for this segment as I think the Giulia , dynamically and stylistically, is in a class of its own. The Jag comes close with style and it's sharp handling.
Jaguars used to be special looking but not any more. Looks like any other car at this point and if you had the BMW grill on it you would not know the difference.
BMWs look more bland and boring. The Jag actually looks decent compared to that bland boring Beamer every Karen drives nowadays. This car is too slow since it’s only 4 cylinder. I’ve driven a 2018 XE S and it’s much more enjoyable in terms of performance. Styling looks better in the newer models
I HAVE AN XF AND IT'S GORGEOUS, SUPERB AND SEXY - I LOVE LOOKING AT IT AND SO DO OTHER PEOPLE. THESE XF AND XE JAGS HAVE THAT - 'CERTAIN SOMETHING' THAT THE JAGS OF THE 60s HAD. THEY'RE STYLISH AND SEXY FROM ALL ANGLES AND WHEN THE SUN HITS THEM WHEN THEY'RE FULLY POLISHED IS STUNNING - THE CURVES ARE BEAUTIFULLY ACCENTUATED. AND OF COURSE IT'S A - JAAAAAAAAAG!!.
Exactly! I am so tired of every brand being followers and putting 4 cyl in every car and taking away V6 and V8. For a lot of ppl driving is about more than pretty interior and cool exterior.
Very light car? The lightest model is 15 Kilos less than a G20 3series. The full spec models are even heavier. - Do I see a slight influence of press release there? ;-) Anyway - Nice Video!
Drive one, most manufacturers are departing from Straight and V6 options, the jaguar 4pot engine produces more torque than most German options, and it has style, unlike your “Russian doll” syndrome German cars!?
hmmmm.. Consumer Reports tags it as 11 out of 13 luxury 2019 compact cars tested, with owner satisfaction and reliability ratings somewhere between abysmal and crappy....so, tell me again how much I want this ?
Love Jaguar...but there is just no reason to buy this sedan. They need to improve their designs if they want better sales. The Mazda3 sedan looks so much better for half the price.
@ mac daddy. Not in my eyes it's not. It maybe cheaper but I would still go for the jag. Although for me it will be the XJ as I drive an XF right now. XJ Supersport for me this Christmas
Lmao. They already face lifted the car multiple times. Jaguar simply is just not a popular brand in modern times and the bad reliability stigma has held on for a long time that people refuse to buy jaguars. Design is decent. BMWs and other German cars look bland compared to Jags tbh. Especially, if you compare them with XE SV project 8 and F type.
@@RelentlesslV Jaguar is still a famous brand, but the EV market killed them because all the EV cars now offer all the bells & whistles for half the price. Jaguars interiors are bland, their exteriors are bland, and there is just no justifiable reason to pay double or triple to price when a KIA EV or Genesis EV will do it better. I love the old Jaguars but the new EV Jags are a flop.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 a lot of us saw older jags. They look worse than the new. The older ones look like old man’s cars for 60-70year olds. I guess if you’re stuck in the past, then the older jaguars must be your favorite. The newer jags like even the F type and XE look more sporty, elegant, and modern. These cars make even German cars like BMW, MB, and Audi look bland. If jags are bland, I guess BMW and other German cars are even more super generic and bland looking like Hondas, ford, and Toyota. But, sure. I guess they can improve their designs more to boost up sales. It doesn’t matter anymore since both those models are discontinued. Also, Jaguar is simply not a popular brand and doesn’t have the brand image compared to the German counterparts. Jaguar has always been a niche brand and looked as an alternative to the BMWs, Audis, etc. In addition, most of us younger folks in their 20s and even 30s like Gen Z/Millennial grew up not knowing about Jaguars tbh. So, that’s why most sales gravitate towards other brands. Reliability has always been an issue as well. Reliability is almost the same as BMW, Audi, and other European counterparts. But, most people still think they are unreliable pieces of junk. I guess some boomers here are just stuck in the past. Oh well. To each their own. 🤷♂️
@@RelentlesslV Jaguar killed the last cool car they had left > the F-Type. All their other stupid E, I & F Pace SUV's are cost cutting pieces of junk that nobody wants. The company needs a serious overhaul.
Tesla will fading out of the EU market very soon. Now that many European brands producing more EV cars on the market like Jaguar, Merc, BMW etc we don’t really need to buy Tesla as ev car anymore. The interior of Tesla looks really flimsy and plastic with a massive tablet attached on the console. I will route and support European cars than American.
This jag is class, it’s a statement, beautiful sleek ; it’s a perfect car
1betterthanyou1 u must be boring then
@1betterthanyou1go drive a bland boring BMW and look like every car on the road then. Stay jealous and go drive a weak slow bland boring ford or Honda. You are stuck in the past boomer. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
excellent review of an astounding and beautiful car - well done. 🎩
If Jaguar used the i-Pace platform to make an Xi sedan then they could compete with Tesla.
I'm glad they fixed the interior. That was the main reason I didn't get one.
@Mario Lopez I kept my Acura.
@Mario Lopez ?

its a bargin in the uk
Jaguar is love 😍 ❤️
True love❤️💕
Bought the 2017 version and friggin love it
Me too I love it.
I have a 2017 as well. Managed to get the 35t with the V6, supercharged engine. What a little beastie that baby is!
The alfaromeo guilia should be mentioned as its stronger engine comes at entery level of 40k
yeah but its a wanna be nice sedan

Make it a wagon please, we need more wagons. I’m tired of sedans barley hanging on, WAGON ME
There is Jaguar xf sportbrake
No we really don't need any ugly wagons
Good video. I agree, the styling is almost spot on. Very fun to drive I bet.
Beatiful shots and scenery keep it up
They should have kept the v-6. I own one and it's a joy to drive every day.
how do you find the mileage?

Most important of all is long term reliability, quality and durability. If Jaguar has these critical factors covered on this new vehicle, then it will be a winner!
I love the extra camera in antenna in rearview mirror. And gas mileage was good. It’s different but at least it still has swagger.
yeah that camera in the shark fin is genius and so simple at the same time
You forgot to mention Jaguar's legendary quality and reliability
Beautiful car....I hope it is more reliable than those of yesteryear.
harleycharley HA
I love that pop up rotating transmission sifter 😩😩😩that make more premium
I use to dread your review Andre. Your English is much better, and so is your humor!
I love my 2017 XE. But it has the worst infotainment system I've ever seen in a modern car. It's a good thing the driving experience makes up for it.
I like the blue one better than the red.
It's buy this all day for $46k!
😍😘😘My jaguar baby just effortlessly purs😍😘😚
how about the V6 version, would that be a wiser choice, if gas mileage is not a concern?
I own the Alfa Romeo Giulia and think it's brilliant but my second choice would be the XE. Very pretty vehicle and handles well for a sedan. Entry level BMW is certainly not the definitive car for this segment as I think the Giulia , dynamically and stylistically, is in a class of its own. The Jag comes close with style and it's sharp handling.
And yes the Giulia should easily be mentioned in this segment. The Acura and infinity can piss off straight away.
I have the Xe 2020, never driven the Alfa, but I bet these two cars are more fun than the German options! Enjoy
Jaguars used to be special looking but not any more. Looks like any other car at this point and if you had the BMW grill on it you would not know the difference.
Looks like a 5 year old Mazda

needs a 500bhp model ASAP. what will i do when my 2014 xfr dies....
I Wish It was a 2 Door Like the 1970s XJ Coupe.
I Saw One in Jay Leno's Garage.
I HAVE AN XF AND IT'S GORGEOUS, SUPERB AND SEXY - I LOVE LOOKING AT IT AND SO DO OTHER PEOPLE.
THESE XF AND XE JAGS HAVE THAT - 'CERTAIN SOMETHING' THAT THE JAGS OF THE 60s HAD.
THEY'RE STYLISH AND SEXY FROM ALL ANGLES AND WHEN THE SUN HITS THEM WHEN THEY'RE FULLY POLISHED IS STUNNING - THE CURVES ARE BEAUTIFULLY ACCENTUATED.
AND OF COURSE IT'S A - JAAAAAAAAAG!!.
André should do more of these videos. He does a good job. Just straight facts from him. I like it. It's refreshing.
why do u guys always review cars of the highest trim and most powerful engines... Anyway the great majority of people will never buy one of these.
Styling means nothing if there is no 6-cylinder.
It's coming soon. 3.0 inline 6, twin scroll turbo, electric supercharger and hybrid electric motor in one engine.
Exactly! I am so tired of every brand being followers and putting 4 cyl in every car and taking away V6 and V8. For a lot of ppl driving is about more than pretty interior and cool exterior.
Beautiful car
Oooohh yea... ooohhh yeaaa come men...
Quality Jag
2020 and its only just begun 2019
that's how model years work
what a nice car！next time！ im absolutely sure i‘ll take it！（and then pay for the bmw 3er😂）
Very light car? The lightest model is 15 Kilos less than a G20 3series. The full spec models are even heavier. - Do I see a slight influence of press release there? ;-) Anyway - Nice Video!
No luxo car, even the entry level, should be under 300HP... STANDARD! The smallest engine should be 2.5L-4cyl.
Drive one, most manufacturers are departing from Straight and V6 options, the jaguar 4pot engine produces more torque than most German options, and it has style, unlike your “Russian doll” syndrome German cars!?
No. ( that's the answer to your title, btw )
Because it's absurdly overpriced. you can get a M340i for the price of this.
I remember when Jaguar made good looking cars. Yes im that old.
They still do. Look at the F-type
@@Jowurel you are right the F-type is ok looking. Prob the only jaguar I want to drive when I see it.
Kind of looks like a Mazda 6
hmmmm.. Consumer Reports tags it as 11 out of 13 luxury 2019 compact cars tested, with owner satisfaction and reliability ratings somewhere between abysmal and crappy....so, tell me again how much I want this ?
A car that offers only 4-pot engines cannot be called "premium".
The XE is too small. The XF is not “reliable” enough. The XJ is a beast...but it needs an update to put it on par with BMW and Mercedes.
XE too small ..... for a family of 12? It's a sport sedan, not a soccer mom van.
No more V6? I think the XE’s days are numbered.
New 3.0 straight six with twin scroll turbo, electric supercharger and hybrid electric motor in one engine 400+bhp. Coming very soon
Ford mondeo
Your having a laugh?

It looks hideous. You'll get bored after a year owning it.
Jag ruined this car getting rid of the SC V6 engine!
Hopefully they bring it back!
It’s a jaguar tho... so it’ll clunk after 10k miles
Do you have a link to this information ?
Trenton_ A People’s experiences. Jaguars are one of the worse cars you can buy
@@JDMSwervo2001 so basically your claims are invalid because you cannot provide a link

You left out the Tesla Model 3 as a competition because I'll take the Tesla all day over this.
It's kind of an odd omission considering that the Model 3 is dominating the market segment today.

Reliability is trash
Just get a INFINITI Q50 it's much better
Although I agree from a mechanical standpoint I think the Jag looks way better.
@B J Very true.
Except in ride handling and looks.
Q50 is garbage.
The Jag can't even fight its way out of a repair shop :( And even worse...it looks like a KIA!
Cool, looks like an overpriced KIA!
KIA looks way better. Atleast the Stinger.
@@KristoferOlsson Agreed.
Lmao. KIA? Those are super ugly cars. KIA is like the ugly mix between a Lexus and a BMW. 😂😂😂😂😂
