The Jaguar XE 30t Is The Bargain Luxury Car Worth Driving (While You Can)

[@PANIC_aka_PinD]

The 35t engine in the XE I own is actually built by FORD and has been super reliable. The AWD system and 8 speed gearbox are supplied by ZF. These are all time proven components. The later engines in this model (like the one shown) were built by Jag. I own a 2017 and will likely just drive it until it dies because it is simply a great car. I had some of the initial Jag niggles with software and a stereo issue, but all sorted long ago. They are not all perfect but if you get a good one they can last a very long time and provide a ton of driving joy. It is really sad all the CARS except the F-Type have been discontinued.

[@ECPP]

Yes I agree, these are amazing rides and I wish they kept the F Type going fora few more years

[@Artilectual]

I got the first edition in 2017. Still runs like new. Gem in my humble opinion. Literally has everything & fast AF, + cheap to tax, run, maintain.

[@ECPP]

They are highly underrated and I also enjoy those cars too.

[@jamesvincent6185]

What type of engine looking to buy one for a daily are they really trustworthy

[@uofan1]

When was this made? Posted 5 hours ago, but you're promoting a car you can't buy...but I'm sure you know this. I bought one, a 2020, back in October for the wife...love it! Thanks

[@josephhall7317]

Also at 8:05, that's a speaker correct? I thought it might be a mini subwoofer, can't figure out why mine doesn't seem to produce any sound, all the other speakers and tweeters sound new still

[@ECPP]

Thanks for sharing. I know my F type has funky sounding speakers

[@josephhall7317]

@@ECPP no problem, is that what that speaker is, a subwoofer?

[@richardsobel7414]

I've had three Jags. My eight year old Suzuki has 85% of the features (AWD & leather), 100 hp. less and it is paid for. Probably way more reliable than a Jag. XE? No thanks.

[@Artilectual]

Suzuki over the XE. 🤣😂🤣 Do you Mr Reliable. Suzuki? No thanks.

[@chuckrambo4401]

A bicycle is way more reliable but I’d buy the XE

[@cthorno2991]

I can assure you that your Suzuki does not have real leather.

[@darrellrobinson6178]

Hey Mark can you do a review on the BMW M2 CS thinking about purchasing one like to hear your input

[@ECPP]

Maybe the local dealer will let me borrow one for a few hours

"Gobbles them up like a brat on Halloween". Somehow, it totally describes that handling characteristic. 🤣🤣

Great review, many thanks for reminding me that we still do great cars here in the UK.

[@ECPP]

Thanks a lot for watching. I enjoyed the drive in it for sure

[@samstye]

Awesome Review.

[@ECPP]

Thank you very much

[@scottp.1884]

Great video on Jaguar

[@ECPP]

Thank you very much

[@tiedkiksshorts]

What year ?

[@peterg.2510]

Good review.... I just wished you gave the retail price on the test car w options, as a reference. Thx!

[@rocket78able]

Have owned one of these for four years in NZ (XE S V6). Very good car. Sad Jaguar dropped this model.

[@ECPP]

They are wonderful cars and thanks for watching

[@rocket78able]

Mine has the V6. Sounds like a Jaguar should.

[@manuelreyes1483]

Excellent video 👌

[@DisabilityExams]

I look forward to the day when cars' front air intakes are all functional.

[@ECPP]

True

[@paulkelsey2458]

Great review man. I'm trying to find a car that is more family-friendly then my Mini Cooper, but still has close to the same steering feel and fun-to-drive characteristic. Right now I'm in between the 340i, giulia ti, and jaguar XE 35t or XF supercharged. Which of those do you think would have the most fun-to-drive steering and handling?

[@ECPP]

Thanks

[@elliottzaagman3849]

Excellent vehicle, selling pre-owned at a 10-20% discount compared with equivalent Audis and BMWs

[@FFE-js2zp]

Jag was making fabulous cars from around 2010-2018, but the new mgt seems aggressively offended by performance vehicles, and are religiously dedicated to reversing the quality products of the previous decade.

[@ECPP]

That is a sad day for sure as there really are few cars out there that are this engaging, this side of an exoticcar

[@kikicorphy9950]

How reliable it is?

[@Neil542]

Wish Jaguar still offered v8s for the xf and xj model honestly I wouldn’t buy a new jag

[@ECPP]

Agreed

[@simoniao.carterdtm8989]

I Love my new Jag !

[@omnione12]

This was a great review, does the dynamic mode require paddle shifting?

[@Quantumxbit]

No

[@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12]

It's called piano black because most pianos nowadays have polyester finishings🎹🎶

[@josephhall7317]

I traded my 2019 Malibu LT in for the 2019 xe 25t 4 cylinder regular gas engine with 56k miles, I figured because of the brand of vehicle that it'd be reliable for a long period of time , then I started reading about them, haven't had any issues except a slight sputter only when sitting in park, hopefully just needs a tune up, can anyone here tell me if I made a mistake? My Malibu I traded only had like 2.5k less miles

[@kevinhabener1279]

Good video. I have a 2004 Jaguar XJ8. And there's 2004 XJR I've found near my home area on Autotrader. And there's a small possibility that I could decided to make a trade. I find it a step up in some ways because it's the supercharged version of the XJ8, more power and top speed a lot less limited by a governor, and would be worth more as it's likely to be more sought after on a collector market. But on the other hand, there's always the backroads where the normally aspirated XJ8 can still be a good rub off from the XJR.

[@muhjm1946]

Does it have a CD player?

[@jasperdilincoln2341]

😆 yes including a Cassette Player for extra

[@kovalm3]

Nice car no doubt. Looks good, no shortage of power. But, if it was my money, I wouldn't buy it. And the reason is(most people gonna think I am crazy) no optional v6 as far as I know. I just don't like the fact of spending 60k for a 4 banger. 6 cylinder sounds a lot sweeter. I know cylinder count is on the decline for all the emission b.s.. Fortunately, all the competition still offers 6s. Alfa, BMW, Benz, Audi and Lexus you can get with a 6. If this car had an optional v6, it would be on top IMO. Because it looks beautiful. Anyway, thanks for great review.

[@ECPP]

Absolutely agree on the sound of the sixes and eights. They are great and I have never heard a 4 banger that sounds better than a lawnmower.

[@kovalm3]

You said it my friend. Otherwise, that jaguar is a thing of beauty.

[@kovalm3]

Btw, v8 in your jaguar is one of the best soundtracks available.

[@ryanmurray6066]

I have a 2017 XE 35t. It's got a supercharged V6.

[@jeancarlostaveras5726]

What is your opinion on American sports cars..what are your top 3 ? A lot of us want to know what you think your opinion is very very detailed would give a great perspective on those of us who like both European luxury and domestic muscle . 🤞🏼 please Nd thank you 🙏🏽

[@ECPP]

Absolutely I can and I do have a few go to’s for me and would love to share them.

[@RT-mm8rq]

Jaguar makes fantastic looking cars with very competitive performance numbers compared to other European brand automobiles. But for me attention is in the details, if the quality of the interior bits is questionable then I would wonder about the build quality of the more complex components, drive train, suspension and electrical.

[@MT-us2ln]

Is this car good on gas?

[@ECPP]

Not bad

[@jordenclarkl.abriol3424]

my friend to be honest your videos are great! but you should replace your intro on a more refined intro coz it is a bit sketchy and cluttered looking imo thanks!

[@ECPP]

Thanks and I have been working on a replacement
