The JAGUAR XE (2014-19) 4DR SALOON 2.0D DPFR SS 163 EU6 PORTFOLIO AUTO8 is a compact executive saloon: a premium four-door alternative to a family hatchback, aimed at buyers considering a BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 or Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Its restrained, sporty styling and automatic gearbox give it an upmarket feel without moving into large-car territory. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 615 checks across 201 different VINs for this XE, a useful sample of used-car interest. The data shows an average private-sale value of £10,300 and average recorded mileage of 62,000 miles; typical annual use is 7,000 miles. Checked cars averaged just under three previous keepers, so review each car’s history and condition rather than relying on averages. This diesel XE suits commuters and couples wanting a comfortable, refined daily car with long-distance economy. It is less practical than an SUV, but offers a more engaging drive than many other mainstream saloons.
