Jaguar Xe problems
The Jaguar XE (X760) is a car manufactured by Jaguar Land Rover and marketed under their Jaguar marque since April 2015. A large family car, it has a four-door saloon car body style and is aimed at the compact-executive market segment. It is front engined and sold with both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The successor to the X-Type, it was designed by Ian Callum and launched at the October 2014 Paris Motor Show.
The XE is noted for its aluminium suspension componentry as well as its bonded and riveted aluminium unitary structure — the first in its segment.
Launch
The XE was announced, but not displayed, at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and debuted globally on 8 September 2014 in London. Sales were expected to begin globally in 2015, followed by the United States in 2016. Production formally commenced on 13 April 2015 at Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull plant.

Common Jaguar Xe problems
The Jaguar XE, a compact sedan designed to compete with the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C Class, and Lexus IS, has faced several common problems over the years. While Jaguar has offered luxury car buyers an alternative to traditional German and Japanese automakers, the XE has had its share of issues.
One of the most significant problems with the Jaguar XE is related to fuel leaks. There have been multiple recalls due to fuel leaks, affecting models produced between November 2016 and June 2016.
Another issue that has plagued the Jaguar XE is related to the engine. The engine may cut out due to the fuel feed detaching on some cars manufactured until 25 February 2016. Any affected XE will need to have an extra clamp fitted to the relevant hose at a Jaguar dealer to sort this issue.
The XE has also had problems with its seatbelt pretensioners. There have been two recalls for the pretensioners not operating correctly in a collision. The first applies to XEs made between 16 February and 16 December 2016, while the second relates only to the one for the driver's seat of cars constructed between 22 September 2015 and 23 March 2016.
The Jaguar XE has also faced issues with its instrument cluster. A software issue on vehicles made between 1 September 2016 and 17 August 2017 can lead to the instrument cluster going blank intermittently. A software update should be able to sort this issue.
The XE's engine choices are now very limited, and owners have reported problems with brakes, suspension, electrics, and gearbox/clutch.
In the 2023 What Car? Reliability Survey, the Jaguar XE ranked 17th out of 24 cars in the executive car class, with 11.3% of owners experiencing issues. Exhaust and non-engine electrical issues were the main issues owners cited, accounting for 8.6% of faults each. Suspension and engine electrical issues were also problems, with a fault rate of 5.7% each.
In summary, the Jaguar XE has faced several common problems, including fuel leaks, engine issues, seatbelt pretensioner failures, instrument cluster software issues, and various other electrical and mechanical problems. While Jaguar has offered luxury car buyers an alternative to traditional German and Japanese automakers, the XE has had its share of issues, affecting its overall reliability and build quality.
Do Jaguar XE have problems?
The 2.0L diesel Ingenium engine found in the XE is also fitted to many other vehicles across the Jaguar Land Rover range and timing chain issues are unfortunately very common on this engine. The timing chains stretch over time and if not replaced can cause irreparable engine damage.
Is a Jaguar XE a reliable car?
Is a used Jaguar XE saloon reliable? Our data suggests the Jaguar XE is substandard for reliability. In our 2023 What Car? Reliability Survey, it ranked 17th out of 24 cars in the executive car class, with 11.3% of owners experiencing issues.
What is the lifespan of a Jaguar XE?
What is Jaguar Xe lifespan? The estimated lifespan of a Jaguar Xe is 131,000mi, before reaching the life expectancy upper limit. Fuel type is a major factor when looking into a vehicles lifespan/life expectancy.
Is a Jaguar XE expensive to maintain?
The XE undercuts its rivals considerably, costing less than 40ppm over a four-year cycle, making it as cheap to run as a Tesla Model 3. The XE is no less of a car that its German rivals, either.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with my 2018 XE. I've had it for five years now and it's been a great ride! With the 3.5 trim, 3.0 liter, supercharged, AWD, it has super performance, even in the eco mode, and is a real beast in the dynamic mode. It still handles well and drives just as smoothly at 20 MPH as it does at 120 MPH. Plus, I've only had to do minimum maintenance on it so far. The only thing to keep in mind is that some of the parts are unique to the Jag, so when buying parts, even oil filters, expect to spend a bit more. Thanks for listening!

I have had a wonderful experience transitioning from BMW to Jaguar. Although BMW offers higher-rated and more accommodating service, I have developed a newfound appreciation for Jaguar. The iconic F-Type put Jaguar back on the map after years of dullness, and now the XE, especially its sportier variants, is breathing life back into the Jaguar brand. I love almost everything about the sleek, elegant, yet sporty design of the XE, having put about 5k miles on my white knight 2017 35t. The acceleration and performance are gripping, and the handling is on par, and in some aspects, even better than German engineering. I have noticed a scale back on quality of some German car brands, albeit with simultaneous increases. However, with a few tweaks on design and technology, I believe Jaguar can make the XE the most formidable opponent of the 3 series/4 series and A4/S4 and C-Class models that's been seen in many years. I encourage the folks at Jaguar to keep up the good work!

Hi there! I just wanted to share my experience with this vehicle. Even though a consumer magazine gave it low marks, I have had a 100% positive experience with it. It's a beautiful car with great handling, and the 340 hp 6-cyl. turbo really gets it moving! Remember, don't always believe what you read in magazines.

I fell in love with this vehicle before I even knew it was a Jaguar. The shape and aerodynamic physical appearance are both aggressive and yet sexy. It has hit 83k miles and still drives like a dream, making it the perfect daily and road tripping vehicle. However, some interior flaws could have been avoided and the infotainment system could definitely use an upgrade. At the end of the day, it's a win/win for someone who wants to own a luxury car without entirely breaking the bank.

The back seat is a bit small in this car, so if you need a larger back seat, you may want to consider other options. However, if you're looking for a car that's a joy to drive, this is definitely it. The 340HP Supercharged 6 is absolutely amazing, with no engine lag whatsoever. The handling and ride are also fantastic, as is the E-Steering. I haven't had this much fun driving since the 60s, when I owned a 65 Shelby Mustang. Lastly, I highly recommend getting the HUD, as it displays your speed (among other things) and can help you avoid unintentionally speeding. While the price may be slightly higher than some of its competitors, I believe it's well worth it, especially considering it's a Jag! Oh, and I should mention that I got 32 MPG on a 150 mile road trip today without even trying to conserve fuel.
Are you having problems with your Jaguar Xe?

I purchased this vehicle on 11/2/2017 and it definitely turns heads with its magical looks. However, I have been experiencing some issues with it. The front space is quite limited and as someone who is 5'7'', I find it difficult to reach the window at drive-up windows. The home link has not worked despite several attempts with customer service. Additionally, the sunroof and sunshade buttons require being held to open and close, and the gas saver has stopped working. I have also skinned my shin a few times getting in the car. Despite these issues, I am taking the car to the dealership for repairs tomorrow. Although I am disappointed with the quality of the vehicle, I must say that it has great mileage. The speaker system and radio presets are not up to Jaguar's usual standards, but the car looks great. The steering wheel is manually operated, which may not be ideal for some. The dealership polished over many scratches, but they became noticeable after the first car wash. The trunk is also quite small. Overall, I am not satisfied with my purchase and am considering other options such as the Benz E Class or Audi A6. What do you think? Any suggestions? (3/15/18)

The 2017 did not meet my expectations because when I decided to drive the car, a light came on saying that all four tires needed air, and the exclamation mark within a triangle was also on. When I looked in the manual, it showed at least four possible options of what could be wrong. Then I went online and couldn't find the answer to my questions, so I called the dealership. Unfortunately, they were unable to schedule an appointment for me until next week or the week after. Although I really like the car, I am returning it because I don't know what is wrong with it. It would have been helpful to receive a copy of the inspection, as I was told that all of your cars go through inspection before being shipped out.

I am confident to state that the car was returned two weeks ago and the writer expressed great satisfaction in no longer possessing it, as evidenced by their statement of 'Zero stars'.
Guiseppe White 2024-10-02
Vehicle year: 2017
Here are some things to consider before purchasing the 2017 Jaguar XE 35T: [1] I sold this car back after 7 months of ownership. [2] The interior is not up to par with other luxury vehicles, even a Honda V6 has a better interior. [3] The car tends to skid during heavy acceleration and has some body roll. [4] The 2017 model does not have daytime running lights. [5] Even the 35T premium model does not have HID lights, only halogen lights. [6] The resale value is not great. [7] It is not the most expensive Jaguar model, so some corners were cut. [8] The premium model does not have lumbar support. [9] The visibility is poor, especially when there is a passenger in the car. [10] Dealership support could be better. In my opinion, there are better options out there for the price. However, the car does have some good qualities such as [1] great looks, [2] super acceleration, [3] great gas mileage, [4] a 5-year warranty including maintenance, and [5] super brakes.
