Jaguar XE S 2017

10:18 AM Unknown 0 Comments

The XE won’t exactly be fresh when it finally arrives at U.S. dealerships in early 2016. European-market cars are already flowing out of Solihull from the longtime Land Rover facility that, with the addition of the XE, is now turning out two-wheel-drive vehicles for the first time in 34 years. North American execs, hoping to give the XE every opportunity for success, won’t import it until the four-wheel-drive models are rolling off the line. Even then, we’ll have to wait an additional six months for what will surely be the most popular engine, an all-new gasoline four-cylinder. At the outset, American buyers will only have the option of a 180-hp diesel or the driver’s choice, the supercharged, 340-hp V-6–equipped Jaguar XE S that we drove.
