i think that's an extremly good looking car, would love to drive one of those to judge the confort and driving dynamics

Okay, you've seen what _we_ think of the *Jaguar XE*, but what about our readers? We asked them to tell us what they thought after they'd crawled all over it. *Watch our video to hear their comments.*

Ohh.. you mean the small XF  look's old already

I just sat in an XE in a showroom, I felt the driver's seat was great, but rear legroom and headroom was very bad. Although I am 6'4, and it would only be two 9 year olds in the back, do you guys have any opinions on this, is there actually enough room, am I being too harsh and judgmental?

love the interior looks a little plain jane in white otherwise i like the design. it all depends on how it drives. Its gonna be hard for the XE to push the 3 series off the throne. Jaguar seems to be going in the right direction.

Do you guys feel there is enough rear legroom and headroom, tried myself and it felt extremely tight, although I'm 6'4

Most of buyers remember horrible X-type and keep away from Jaguar. Reliability?

I like this Jaguar Car very much. My Dream Car ever..someday u'll be Mine.♡

Gosh do these people know what a good-looking car is inside and out?. I know cars look better in the flesh but this thing ain't particularly got much over the Mercedes C class let alone the Infiniti Q50.
Seems it's already 5 years old.

Jaguar XE's interior design is a huge disappointment, the door panels are very unsophisticated, cheap, uncomfortable (there's no reason for those speaker housing to be intruded into the arm rest!).

Seriously, Jaguar, you don't need to match the interior refinement of Mercedes C-class, but you have to at least surpass the three-year-old BMW 3 series!!

buy a TESLA and you will never want to drive anything else

it looks old...when i look at a4, bmw 3, this jaguar ...i only see perfect opportunity wasted. this cars look old. they all want to be sporty, comfortable, economic and final mega mix doesn't appeal to me. In this size of cars I think Mazda 6 has the best looks. especially now after interior update of central console. probably on a tech side it is just a step down from this ''premium'' but it is a very small step. i also noticed lag on touch screen. why on earth would you build a new so called premium car with a infotainment system hart from 80's zx spectrum? what is the price of snapdragon 810? 100$? 150$? 200$? they couldn't include it in a final price?  i expected more from this car. for me it is a disappointment.
