Let CarGurus help you find your next car: www.cargurus.c...
The Jaguar XE was launched in 2015 as a rival to the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class and Audi A4. It impressed immediately with its smart styling and superb ride and handling, but how does it fare as a used purchase? In this CarGurus used car review Chris Knapman answers that very question, weighing up practicality, running costs and any common problems to see if the XE should be on your shopping list.

Pros
Brilliant handling
Sleek and sporting looks
Excellent eight-speed automatic gearbox
Cons
Electrical issues blight the Jag's reliability record
Tight rear-seat space
Small boot
The CarGurus verdict
Despite a considerable number of faults with early XEs, most owners appear to be happy with their purchase, according to independent customer satisfaction surveys.
Aside from some gruffness from the turbodiesel engines, the XE is a delight to drive, an appealing blend of the excitingly sporty and the comfortable cruiser. Sure, headroom is tight in the rear and the boot is on the small side, but if such concerns aren’t a priority to you, then the Jaguar makes a refreshing alternative to the usual compact executive saloon suspects from the German manufacturers.
Just remember to check that all the recall work has been done on your car before you hand over your money.
