The 2019 Jaguar XE 2.0i GPF R-Sport is a sporty, compact executive saloon featuring a 200 PS 2.0-litre petrol engine with petrol GPF technology, an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and a stylish R-Sport trim that balances sharp handling and comfort. Engine and Performance Powered by a 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol turbocharged engine delivering 200 PS (around 197 bhp) with Euro 6 emissions compliance and a gasoline particulate filter (GPF). The engine pairs with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission calibrated with Jaguar-specific software for smooth and precise shifts. The R-Sport trim sharpens driving dynamics with sporty suspension tuning and handling optimized for agile cornering and firm grip, yet remains comfortable for daily use Features and Equipment The R-Sport model includes distinct exterior styling elements such as 18-inch diamond-turn five-spoke alloy wheels, subtle body kit upgrades, chrome air intake trim, and R-Sport badging for a sporty look Interior features common to the trim include a 10-inch Touch Pro infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation pro, Jaguar Sound System, and dual-zone climate control. Safety features such as ABS, multiple airbags, and driver assistance are standard. Practical Details The saloon body style offers room for four to five occupants with adequate rear passenger space comparable to rivals like the BMW 3 Series. The driving position is low and sporty, enhancing driver engagement but with slightly noticeable road noise on stiffer suspension settings Fuel efficiency is competitive for a petrol saloon of this power, averaging around 32-34 mpg in mixed driving conditions, and offering a typical touring range exceeding 400 miles on a tank Owner and Expert Impressions: Owners appreciate the XE for its elegant styling, compact yet dynamic driving character, and relatively good efficiency for a petrol performance saloon. Reviewers note the R-Sport trim's balance of sportiness and comfort, while mentioning some trade-offs with rear passenger comfort and road noise compared to German rivals The XE remains a compelling choice for those who want a premium British alternative to mainstream German compact executive cars with a reputation for sharp handling and luxury touches.
