The Jaguar XE and Jaguar XF are the latest models in the company’s range, receiving a sport variant with improved performance, bespoke design features and Amazon Alexa connectivity.
Both models are now available with a 295 hp, 309 lb ft, 2.0 liter four cylinder petrol engine. The engine is supported by mild hybrid technology consisting of a belt-integrated starter generator (BiSG) and a 48-volt lithium-ion battery.
For the Jaguar XF Sportbrake and sedan, a 0-100 km/h acceleration is possible in 5.8 seconds, while the XE completes the same sprint in 5.6 seconds. Both models have a top speed of 250 km/h.
Jaguar claims a combined economy number of 58.9mpg for the XE and 57.6mpg for the XF sedan.
As well as the new engine, the two 300 Sport models also benefit from Jaguar’s Black Pack, which includes a gloss black contrast roof and privacy glass. You also get 20-inch alloy wheels, which can be specified in either gray or silver.
In addition to Jaguar’s standard color palette, two premium exterior finishes – Carpathian Gray and Silicon Silver – can be selected.
Inside, the XF and XE feature aluminum and ash veneers, with metal paddle shifters and pedals.
Like all other Jaguar models, the new XF and XE have Amazon Alexa connectivity built into the Pivi Pro infotainment system. It’s also available as an over-the-air update for current owners.
The XF and XE follow the Jaguar F-Pace and Range Rover Velar (HST 400) and get a Sport edition.
Prices for the XE 300 Sport start at £42,345. The XF 300 Sport, meanwhile, is £47,730 for the saloon and £49,005 for the Sportbrake. Both models are positioned at the top of their respective model ranges.
