The JAGUAR XE (2014-19) 4DR SALOON 2.0D DPFR SS 180 EU6 R-SPORT AUTO8 is a compact premium four-door saloon, aimed at buyers wanting an upmarket alternative to a mainstream family car. In the UK it competes with the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, offering a more distinctive British badge and sporty R-Sport appearance. mycarcheck.com records 9,881 look-ups for this version, covering 3,896 distinct VINs, a substantial sample. Its checks show an average private-sale valuation of £11,000, average recorded mileage of 67,000 miles and about 9,000 miles driven yearly; cars had around 2.25 previous keepers on average. These figures describe checked examples, not every XE. The diesel automatic suits commuters and business drivers, while its cabin and boot can serve couples or small families. The 180bhp engine offers useful pace, and the eight-speed automatic eases traffic; engaging handling gives the XE a sportier feel than many executive-saloon rivals.
