3rd February, 2016: Delhi: Jaguar Land Rover India Ltd. (JLRIL) today announced the
launch of Jaguar’s most advanced sports saloon, the All-New Jaguar XE in India with prices
starting from INR 39.90 lacs (ex-showroom, Delhi). With an unrivalled combination of
dynamic design, performance and luxurious interiors, the All-New Jaguar XE has a true
sporting character of the acclaimed Jaguar F-TYPE.
Rohit Suri, President, Jaguar Land Rover India Ltd (JLRIL), said:
“The most-awaited All-New Jaguar XE has hit the Indian roads today with its powerful stance
and seductive looks. To meet the growing demand for petrol-powered vehicles, we have
introduced the Jaguar XE in two petrol engine derivatives. This will also enable us to enter a
new industry segment and make Jaguar more accessible to our customers, while
maintaining the premium and aspirational equity of the brand. A performance car with
responsive handling and a luxury car with beautiful design, the XE connects emotionally with
customers who are looking to own a sports saloon that stands apart from its counterparts.
With a range of distinctive features like no other car in its class, we are extremely positive
about All-New Jaguar XE’s potential in India and are confident about maximising its sales.”

2. Performance Engines:
The All-New Jaguar XE offers a choice of 2.0L 147 kW Turbocharged Petrol and 2.0L 177
kW Turbocharged Petrol meshed with 8-speed electronic automatic transmission. The 2.0L
177 kW petrol engine achieves a class-leading acceleration of 0-100 km/h in just 6.8
seconds.
The All-New Jaguar XE is launched in India in the following models and trims:
1. Jaguar XE 2.0L Petrol Pure (147 kW) : INR 39.90 Lacs
2. Jaguar XE 2.0L Petrol Portfolio (177 kW) : INR 46.50 Lacs
Note: All prices are ex-showroom, in Delhi
Exterior:
The All-New XE immediately catches the eye, standing out from the competition because of
its upscale proportions. Its form possesses energy and organic vibrancy with specific F-
TYPE inspired design cues. The signature 'J-Blade' running lights are an instantly
recognizable Jaguar design feature. In the rear lights, a horizontal line intersecting a roundel
is an iconic styling feature inherited from the iconic Jaguar E-type. The strongly-sculpted
bonnet is a testament to Jaguar's expertise in working with aluminium, creating a taut,
muscular appearance. The very steeply raked windscreen and the rising waistline
accentuate the streamlined, coupe-like profile, adding to the sense of movement.
Interior: Spacious and Luxurious
Expectations raised by Jaguar XE's beautiful exterior styling are exceeded once inside. The
spacious cabin cocoons front seat passengers with a deep centre console, creating a
cockpit-like feel. The 20.32 cm touchscreen for the new InControl Touch infotainment system
takes centre stage in the sweeping curves of the instrument panel. Directly ahead of the
driver, is the reassuring familiarity of two large, sports-car analogue dials and message
centre inspired by F-TYPE. The driver grips the chunky sports steering wheel and next to the
driver, the raised centre console adds to the cockpit feel.
The contour-hugging front seats are mounted low, creating a sports-car like driving position.
In the rear, all occupants enjoy generous amounts of head and legroom, and the deeply
scalloped seatbacks liberate even more space for passengers seated in the rear of the XE.
The XE thus proves that sleek, streamlined styling and interior space need not be mutually
exclusive.
Throughout the XE, the soft natural forms of the interior architecture lend themselves to a
choice of contemporary or traditional materials and finishes. Technical fabrics, fine-grain
leathers with tonal stitch give the cabin a bespoke quality. Gloss black or embossed
aluminum finish further enhances the luxurious, handcrafted feel.

3. Aluminium-intensive Monocoque:
Jaguar has been at the forefront of aluminum car construction and continues to push the
boundaries of this technology. The All-New Jaguar XE is the first of the new generation
of Jaguar cars to be based on the all-new aluminum intensive architecture, which uses
expertise derived from the aerospace industry to deliver premium vehicle characteristics in
performance, handling and refinement.
Torque Vectoring by braking:
One of the most impressive functions on the All-New Jaguar XE is Torque Vectoring by
Braking, state-of-the-art technology has been proven on the Jaguar F-TYPE Coupé and is
now standard on the All-New Jaguar XE. This high-tech innovation mitigates the onset of
understeer by lightly braking individual inner wheels as required to help keep the car on the
optimum line through corners. Intervention is subtle and barely noticed by the driver, who
benefits from more neutral handling, reduced steering effort and, ultimately, a more
rewarding driving experience.
All Surface Progress Control (ASPC):
Jaguar's unique All Surface Progress Control (ASPC) is a low speed cruise control,
operating at speeds between 3.6 km/h and 30 km/h. It helps the All-New XE to cope with low
traction situations whatever the weather and allows drivers to concentrate on steering the
vehicle. The system also has a pull-away function allowing the XE to move away from rest
on slippery surfaces, as well as a hill descent function that controls vehicle speed on steeper
inclines.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC):
DSC monitors All-New Jaguar XE's dynamic behaviour and intervenes if the system
determines that the vehicle is unresponsive to the driver's inputs. DSC reduces engine
torque and/or applies braking to the appropriate wheels to correct the car's direction of travel
by counteracting understeer or oversteer. All-New Jaguar XE's latest generation DSC
system has enhanced understeer control to reduce speed and regain control more
effectively.
Electric Powered Assisted Steering (EPAS):
Jaguar’s next generation EPAS offers outstanding feedback and control, as well as power
assistance when needed. The system adds to driver confidence by communicating the
approach of the limits of grip during hard cornering. EPAS allows highly-tuned computer
control to adapt the levels of steering support; whether giving the driver fine control at speed,
or providing comprehensive assistance during slow maneuvering.
Exterior Colours:

4. Customers have a wide variety of 7 colour options to choose from on the All-New Jaguar XE
such as the Polaris White, Rhodium Silver, Blue Fire, Dark Sapphire, Odyssey Red, Italian
Racing Red and Ultimate Black.
