Man I love your videos ..you helping a lot thank you

[@amilcar5772]

I have discovered this channel and love it. The detail of showing the head and backlights of every car is great, almost anybody does this. I'm thinking about buying this car in the second hand market. I'm between this and the BMW 3 or 4 series.

[@Edvard.Munchkin]

Get the Jag, while I personally prefer German cars myself, the jaguar is a far more rare proposition

[@jarojaro1971]

Top video!!!❤❤❤

[@biNuTheFirst]

Lol,despite the diesel,it sounds not so bad! , i really like it :D

[@997speedy]

so what do you think of this basic car compared to its rivals in basic form?

[@quavohuncho6156]

+TEST DRIVE FREAK please answer if you can. Is it comfy to drive? Nice seats and suspension? how is the comfort for the driver compared to the C class. Do you recomend it

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

+Amir Eclass much better than C class, the newest c class i am not happy with it, the older one was much better, jaguar XE is really comfy, it has really comfy seats, suspension is okay (lots modern cars has harder suspension than old cars, maybe for better steer and safety and sport drive)

[@quavohuncho6156]

+TEST DRIVE FREAK thank you so much and your videos are great keep it up

[@danut05]

Engine sounds really loud

[@betterbeavailable]

It's funny that the e-"performance" model is the slowest and most unsexy. Always hated that badge on jags. It's like a statement that "we had to lower the horsepower to get the emission taxes as low as possible".

[@ahmetdemiray6512]

+TEST DRIVE FREAK thanks for answer please show inside the armrests all videos

[@kevakevincek7040]

is enough 163 hp for this car, what do u think ?

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

+keva kevincek it is okay for me but i love this car :) 180 HP will be more better but 163 hp is really fast too :)

[@kevakevincek7040]

+TEST DRIVE FREAK thank.. i love jaguar to, but i hear they have a little problem with build quality :/ i hope they are better now with new models :D

[@moeschizlac]

+TEST DRIVE FREAK In the U.S. we have the both 163hp and the 180hp version.

[@marcoaurelio6941]

what engine does this have? is it BMW's?

[@the_mad_bear3683]

No dummy, its a Jaguar Land Rover DOHC 2.0D Turbo Charged engine

[@preciousm4191]

Wie man hier gut feststellen kann, gehört in ein Auto der gehobenen Kategorie ein kultivierter 6-Zylinder-(Diesel)-Motor. Die hochgezüchteten 4-Zylinder-Diesel sind zwar relativ leistungsstark, aber einfach viel zu unkultiviert. Das passt nicht zusammen.

[@albertzweistein7097]

Ja ist so :/

[@groundingtiming]

so this or 320d again? choices choices!

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

+IATBFTITW IATBFTITW its really hard, both are very good, i love both cars, i think bmw has better performance than jaguar, you should test drive both then you can decide to buy which car :)

[@groundingtiming]

thanks bro, i will wait for the AWD XE to be out, supposedly later in the year. Jaguar suspension system is unique too, hence unsure about the maintenance cost for her upkeep.

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

why AWD? it consume 1-2 liter more fuel! and acceleration is slower than without AWD, bcs it need more power to 4 wheel than 2 wheel, i know its only better for Offroad or in winter, but for me is better without AWD, and jaguar has own Snow mode (even without AWD)

[@groundingtiming]

Really? you think so? I'm just worried about RWD handing in the wet, ie aquaplaning. Seen quite a few BMWs just skid in the wet, its crazy. Currently on a FWD ride. However agreed and noted that speeding above 120kmh/75mph is unwise in very wet conditions

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

+IATBFTITW IATBFTITW in wet condition i do sometimes 200 kmh in germany autobahn without problem, but sometimes is big water on road but with good tyre quality is not so big problem, slippery comes if you turn off esp or esp in sport mode but in sport mode is almost safe drift (onyl for pro driver) if you turn off esp then its dangerous, if normal car without awd and bad tyre quality then it is a problem, but it is your decision to buy awd, if you live in mountains or long winter/snow season then yes, where do you live?

[@mateusz1399]

engine is really loud

[@jgh548]

Mateusz K Yes, I've driven a few and to be honest, it's bloody awful. Nasty whining thing.

[@jlue1993]

When I drove one I found once it warmed up it was just as quiet as my then 320d and pretty much identical mpg

[@Edvard.Munchkin]

17:15 really poor lights

[@amilcar5772]

I suppose that the problem is the headlights are focused too low.

[@infinitepower3003]

Mine are super bright. Xe portfolio model

[@Edvard.Munchkin]

@@infinitepower3003 You prob have xenon

[@cornelcon5267]

From front looks so similar with 3 series lol

[@sergiojippys3838]

Seems very noisy?

[@jgh548]

It's a dreadful car for a premium brand like Jaguar. Very unrefined, bland and cheaply made

[@infinitepower3003]

Not when you buy the portfolio model. 178 bhp awd. Amazing car. A lot quieter and responsive on the pedal. Smooth drive and excellent handling. This guy is having to put his foot down more due to the lack of power so it makes it sound a lot louder than the 178bhp

[@devon896]

@@jgh548 I've driven two D180s a Landmark edition and a R sport edition both are fantastic cars and really responsive.

[@hugojaaa9331]

And also a jaguar company..the engine is soo noisy.!! Why why why...I a lovely car but noisy!!

[@infinitepower3003]

Buy the 178bhp. Less engine sound. Lack of power making him put his foot down more which will make the car a lot louder. 163bhp is a under powered car. Straining the engine. I rarely go over 3000 revs
