[br] [br][br]Jaguar has unveiled the 2019 XE sedan facelift. The XE sedan sports a meaner look than the outgoing model. The front fascia features a sleeker headlamp cluster and redesigned bumper for housing larger air intakes. The grille gets a refreshing mesh pattern. The sharp lines assert a more sporty appeal to the XE sedan. A lot of small touches bring the design of the XE facelift to a higher level.[br][br]However, the side profile remains untouched. The updated sedan looks identical to the outgoing model. India spec XE sedan will be offered with 18-inch alloy wheels only. The facelift will sit upon retuned suspension. And we can expect the XE to find the balance between comfort and handling.[br][br]Jaguar is working hard to take the in-cabin experience to a higher level. The XE sedan will up its ante with more comfort and luxury for all occupants. Attention to detail has been meticulous. The cabin is studded with premium soft-touch materials. XE will come with more utility than before, expect improved cargo space and interior room for rear passengers.[br][br]The British carmaker is taking an approach similar to its all-electric SUV - Jaguar I-Pace. 2019 Jaguar XE will sport a dual screen central console. The new XE sedan comes with a 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster. There is a dedicated 10-inch touchscreen for infotainment and a second screen for operating the climate control. Other than the big infotainment system, the cabin layout of the XE facelift will follow the footsteps of the pre-facelift model.[br][br]Jaguar XE will also come with a newly introduced gearshift lever and steering wheel. The steering wheel is slimmer and gets brushed metal finish to elevate the premium look. [br][br]Even the entry-level XE sedan will have a long list of features. XE sedan will come with standard six airbags, sunroof, ABS with EBD, dual zone climate control. 2019 Jaguar XE facelift introduces Clear Sight interior rear-view mirror (a segment first feature). This feature debuted on the second-gen Evoque. The system features a camera integrated into the shark fin antenna. Live feed from the camera is sent to the IRVM. The camera helps to increase the field of vision by 50 degrees.[br][br]On the tech front, XE sedan will feature semi-autonomous driving tech. The list also includes handsfree parking, wireless mobile charging, driver condition monitor and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. [br][br]The Jaguar XE facelift will carry forward the same set of petrol engine and diesel engines that power the outgoing model. Jaguar XE configurations include a variety of engine options. The 2.0-liter diesel engine makes 180PS and 430Nm of torque. Depending on your choice, the 2.0-liter petrol engine can be had in two different states of tune. In the P200, the engine belts out 200PS/320Nm and in the P300, it produces 300PS/400Nm. All the engine options are only available with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. [br][br]However, the Indian spec of XE sedan might not be available with the P300 tune and the 4WD option. We will get the lower-tune (200PS/320Nm) of the 2.0-liter petrol engine. [br][br]Bookings are open for the 2019 Jaguar XE sedan in its home market - UK and Jaguar is expected to introduce the model in India by the end of 2019. The Jaguar XE sedan will compete against the likes of BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C Class, and the Volvo S60.
