Jaguar XE 2020 - a fusion of technological power, luxury and style

At the end of 2019, Jaguar fans saw a new version of the 2020 Jaguar XE premium sedan model year. In the course of restyling, the new items have changed the design of the body and interior, improved engine options and many high-tech solutions have appeared. The car is aimed at connoisseurs of style and luxury, who are used to indulging themselves in nothing.

External appearance

The 2020 Jaguar XE features a redesigned exterior that features new décor elements with more ambitious and daring designs.

The car retains the sporty look and proportions of previous generations, but looks as modern as possible. The design team was inspired by the F-TYPE sports car when developing the model's appearance.

With a visual review, you can see that the new product has become wider and lower. There are massive ventilation holes in the front, and clear relief lines are scattered around the entire perimeter of the body, improving aerodynamic properties.

The LED optics with signature daytime running lights are styled in the J Blade style for a confident look. The headlights have sophisticated graphics that visually lower the front of the car. In addition, the lighting elements are stylishly tinted in dark colors.

The grille features a new mesh design as well as a curved profile that has been developed with the I-PACE EV trends in mind.

The aft projection features a redesigned bumper and uniquely styled LED lights. They provide visual emphasis on the massive dimensions of the car. The rear lighting kit with original graphics and animated cornering follows the Jaguar F-TYPE concept.

The profile section is characterized by an elongated bonnet and an offset interior. By default, wheel arches with an increased radius are provided, in which R22 wheels can be installed.

The domed roof is an important focus of the overall body design concept. The car looks amazing, but passengers in the back row may experience discomfort when placed in the cabin due to the narrow passage of the doors and the low landing of the ceiling hanging overhead.

At the bottom of the Jaguar XE 2020 there is a diffuser, a system of side air intakes that ensures an even distribution of air masses, as well as special panels for better air circulation under the floor.

Overall dimensions of the Jaguar XE 2020:

The ground clearance of 125 mm is enough for driving on city roads and highways. In the case of periodic trips outside settlements and driving on unstable road surfaces, problems do not arise.

The luggage compartment has a capacity of 410 liters.

Additional dynamism to the exterior of the Jaguar XE 2020 is given by the following body parts:

1. Sculpted bumper relief at the front, which is inspired by the design of aircraft flaps and is intended for both decorative purposes and to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
2. Rear bumper trims with Dark Mesh finishes.

At all stages of the creation of the Jaguar XE 2020, engineers and designers have tried to combine aesthetics with practical and functional. Therefore, most of the parts are intelligently combined with each other, making the car not only stylish, but also high-tech.

For example, the new product has a modernized sensor for adaptive cruise control, which is located directly above the massive brand logo on the front grille. The stock camera, working in conjunction with the ClearSight platform, is installed under an ergonomic insert on the roof of the car.

The restyled version of the Jaguar XE 2020 can be purchased as standard, usually with a gray body color or with the "sport" design package R-Dynamic. In this case, the car will be red.

Salon Jaguar XE 2020

Designing the interior design of the Jaguar XE 2020, the designers used only elite and pleasant to the touch finishing materials. The door panels, side console projection in the center of the car and the instrument panel are all premium trim, while the elegant trim panels stretch throughout the cabin.

The interior of the Jaguar XE 2020 is adapted to fit 5 adults. However, the headrests of the rear sofa are designed for two people.

Also in the central part of the car there is a large-sized floor tunnel, which creates some discomfort for the passenger in the middle. There is practically no headroom and at the feet.

There is a lot more space in the front of the cabin than in the back. The driver's and front passenger's seats have flexible adjustments to choose the optimal position, as well as enhanced lateral support.

The seats themselves are finished in soft materials, so they provide maximum comfort on long journeys. By default, the adaptation of the chairs to the anatomical characteristics of people is provided.

The driver has at his disposal a multifunction steering wheel, an informative dashboard and excellent visibility. The center panel houses an advanced multimedia system with touch controls. The floor tunnel is set high enough to divide the front of the vehicle into two separate sections.

Also at the front there are massive armrests, an automatic transmission lever, handbrake control keys and various vehicle systems.

The interior trim is made with the following materials:

• Genuine Leather;
• aluminum;
• suede leather.

All decorative elements are of high build quality and ergonomics.

As an option, the Touch Pro Duo progressive multimedia package, which was present on the I-PACE electric crossover, is used. The platform is equipped with two high-tech displays with touch control, capacitive sensors and tactile switches for changing the basic settings.

The car has an integrated human-machine interface (HMI), which is designed to ensure that the car owner is less distracted from the driving process. Electronic equipment processes data as efficiently as possible, maintaining the interaction of the driver with the machine.

Rotary switches provide convenient and flexible control of heating, interior ventilation, climate control and other systems.

Among the interesting features inside the Jaguar XE 2020 there is a frameless rearview mirror equipped with ClearSight technology, as well as a platform for wireless charging of gadgets. Such innovations make the car as functional and convenient as possible.

The premium sedan features the same SportShift and Drive Control selector as found on the Jaguar F-TYPE. It provides intuitive and comfortable vehicle control.

Starting with the base version, the 2020 Jaguar XE has updated door handles with improved ergonomics and tactile properties. Their presence made it possible to increase the capacity of the niche for storing various little things on the door panel.

The surface of the door armrests is softer and wider. These and other changes not only provided a visual increase in space, but also increased the comfort of access to the various switches.

Another interesting feature in the interior design is the Jaguar monogram found on the speakers and directional switches. Brand markings are also present on the exterior parts of the car, including LED headlights.
