With an existing profile, the XE has a wind drag coefficient of only 0.26 which makes it as the most aerodynamic Jaguar models.
Aluminum structures
Behind the beautiful exterior, the structure of the Jaguar XE uses more than 75% aluminum content, which makes the weight becomes the lightest in its class. Not only light, the car body has a special strength to the level of rigidity and a high safety without sacrificing the beauty of design and comfort. Even RC5754 material used in XE is a mixture of recycled aluminum material that was first used in the world in a car.Jaguar XE is the first model designed using modular aluminum-intensive architecture to date. The body structure uses a combination of aluminum alloy materials, high-strength steel, and magnesium.
High-strength aluminum alloys used in the A-pillars, front and rear structure and the roof frame of the vehicle. Part B pillars also use high-strength aluminum material, steel-reinforced and have a layer of foam with high density to make the passenger cabin space is more rigid and sturdy to impact during an accident. XE safety assurance developed to meet the stringent safety requirements, including those from the US and Euro NCAP.
Not only the body structure, aluminum is also used in most of the suspension structure belonging XE, especially at the brand-new rear suspension: Integral Link. This suspension can deliver the ideal level of lateral rigidity for superb control, as well as presenting a longitudinal movement steadily to increase comfort.

Ranging from open or lock doors, start the engine, to regulate the temperature of the AC in the car before you actually were inside the cabin. For the sound system, premium audio systems rely XE alerts Meridian developed specifically for Jaguar XE.In addition, at the top of the windshield, there is a sensor in the form of a stereo camera that can keep an eye on the streets along the 100 meters ahead. AEB (autonomous emergency braking) will provide information or a warning if there is a sudden stop in front of the vehicle.

With a pair of 6-speed manual transmission, Jaguar claimed acceleration 0-100 kph can be achieved in 7.8 seconds. XE peak torque diesel is almost equal peak torque XE V6 3.0-liter engine is indeed feels very responsive, which limits the rate of 120 kph our speed on a freeway was too easily achieved.With the winding and uphill road conditions, driving XE feels comfortable and does not feel tired. Because the performance of the diesel engine is quite responsive in every round, as to the wishes of the driver. With manual transmission, we can drive the vehicle more responsive because the gear shift can be made up ahead of the engine speed limit.

After the exit of the track pit, spontaneous stamping on the gas pedal provides a very responsive acceleration. When crossing the straight track, the lyrics had my speedometer needle reaches 200 kph before braking hard and turn to feel the incredible balance that served braking and suspension systems XE. The strength of the combination of a double wishbone suspension at the front and rear Integral link rear wheel makes the car is not nearly have symptoms of oversteer at all when maneuvering quickly.
