Description
Overview:
Experience the perfect fusion of performance, refinement, and style with the 2017 Jaguar XE 2.0 GTDi R-Sport Saloon. This premium mid-size executive car delivers a dynamic driving experience backed by Jaguar's legendary engineering pedigree. With its striking design, impressive petrol engine performance, and a host of modern features, the XE R-Sport embodies the spirit of a true sports saloon while offering all the practicality required for daily driving.
Performance & Handling:
Under the bonnet lies a responsive 2.0-litre turbocharged GTDi petrol engine producing an impressive 240 PS (237 bhp), paired with a smooth and efficient 8-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration is brisk, taking the car from 0 to 62 mph in approximately 6.5 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph. The XE benefits from a lightweight aluminium-intensive architecture, offering a near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution and agile handling that rewards the driver with a planted, composed ride. Jaguar's Drive Control system allows the driver to choose between various modes – Dynamic, Normal, Eco, and Rain/Ice/Snow – adapting the car's responses to suit conditions or driving style.
Design & Exterior:
The XE R-Sport is styled to stand out with its athletic stance, aerodynamic sculpting, and R-Sport specific body enhancements. The aggressive front bumper, gloss black grille with satin chrome surround, side sills, and rear spoiler deliver an assertive and purposeful look. The sleek silhouette is both stylish and efficient, contributing to a low drag coefficient and improved fuel efficiency. R-Sport badging and distinctive 18-inch alloy wheels further set this model apart from standard variants.
Interior & Comfort:
Inside, the cabin strikes a balance between luxury and sportiness. Supportive perforated leather sports seats with contrast stitching provide excellent comfort and lateral support, while high-quality materials and brushed aluminium or textured trim inserts give the interior a premium finish. The multifunction leather steering wheel, ambient interior lighting, and configurable digital display enhance the driving environment. Space is generous for a car in this class, with a focus on driver-oriented ergonomics and a well-sized boot for practicality.
Technology & Features:
This model is equipped with Jaguar's InControl Touch infotainment system, offering an 8-inch touchscreen, DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity, USB input, and voice control. Navigation and smartphone integration are available on upgraded variants. Other features include dual-zone climate control, keyless start, cruise control with speed limiter, front and rear parking sensors, and rain-sensing wipers. Safety systems include multiple airbags, Dynamic Stability Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and Lane Departure Warning.
Efficiency & Emissions:
Despite its performance credentials, the XE 2.0 GTDi is remarkably efficient for a petrol-powered sports saloon.
