Jaguar XE review (02/08/2014)

FURTHER news is emerging about the new ‘baby’ Jaguar saloon — the XE — which will be launched officially in London next month.

Jaguar says that the new car, which will rival such as the Audi A4, the BMW 3 Series and the Mercedes C-Class in the compact executive saloon segment, will redefine the standard in its class.

Designed around Jaguar’s modular vehicle architecture, the XE is the only car in the class to use an aluminium-intensive monocoque, with lightweight aluminium accounting for 75% of the structure.
