Jaguar has imported one unit of its upcoming compact sedan, the XE to India in CKD form. The vehicle will be used for testing purposes.

Jaguar unveiled their entry-level sedan XE in September last year and the car has been praised by most of the people who have seen it or been a part of the development process. Since it will be targeting the BMW 3-Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class amongst others, it needs to be perfect in order to fill up the order books of the British brand. Jaguar is looking at rapidly increasing its market share globally and hence a lot is riding on the shoulders of the XE Sports sedan. To be available with five engine options, the car will debut in India at the 2016 Auto Expo.
Owned by the Indian company Tata Motors, Jaguar has been able to get back into profitability and sales are constantly rising. This can be attributed to the updates done to the existing lineup of cars. However, the company has realised that the volume lies in the entry-level executive sedan segment and that’s what it is targeting now. Recently, one unit of the XE has been imported into India in CKD form for R&D purposes indicating that it will get some India specific tweaks. The car will also be used for testing on Indian roads in the near future. The imported vehicle is powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder diesel engine which will be available in two states of tune.
Before the launch of the XE in India, Jaguar needs to work on expanding its sales and service network in the country. Not only that, it also needs to improvise the quality of service provided to the current customers. Many have been disappointed with the lead time for basic parts and parts failing often. If these areas are taken care of, the XE should do well and that would trouble the rivals. Pricing however would remain a key for the car’s success because no matter what car Indians buy, pricing is a key factor that influences the buying decision. We are eagerly waiting for the range topping XE S which will come with the supercharged 3.0-litre V6 motor churning out 340 PS of power!

Jaguar XE Saloon Officially Launched in India

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.”

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.

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:

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.

I was looking forward to this Baby Jag as a replacement for our Jetta. But Jaguar just blew the hopes by pricing it ridiculously, 44 lakhs for this Petrol Sedan is too much IMO.

Since it is assembled in Pune, I was expecting good pricing, with diesel engine I guess it will be more expensive. Now I have to look at the new C Class and the 3 Series LCI, which are a bit common and don't feel as exclusive as this XE.

My wait continues..!! :-(
