the r-dynamic model looks damn GOOD! the Interior has some massive improvement. Used to look too bland with the rotary gear dial

 

I would say it's the best looking small executive sedan

[Sdf4786k]

yeah, I really like the tail lights design.

 

Seems like everyone copying the cerato look. Merc also did that for the A class with the previous cerato.

 

Really very business like

Do u ferry adults often? If so, do try getting in the back. If ur ok, this car is suitable for u.

Ya I do, damn. Guess the back space is as bad as is250?

[mel1888]

Facelift exterior is abt the same. Finally they went back to stick shift instead of the radio like knob.

Ya I do, damn. Guess the back space is as bad as is250?

Yes. I suggest try it for urself tho. The back door opening is small & with sloping roof, plus knee room is tight. Edited March 5, 2019 by mel1888

Just hope they improve on the NHV ..My last test drive the idle was like engine mount broke.

but as the company is not making money, I doubt there will be much changes

NEW DELHI: Tata Motors’ December quarter loss of Rs 26,961 crore took the market by surprise. It was the highest-ever quarterly loss reported by any company on Dalal Street till date. 

 

The losses were largely caused by one-time exceptional non-cash charge for asset impairment of 3.1 billion pounds at its subsidiary JLR. 

 

Here are five worst quarterly numbers that Indian companies reported in recent times. 

 

On Thursday, Tata Motors announced a non-cash exceptional charge to cut the book value of capitalised investments. Analysts awaited clarity over the nature of assets impaired to ascertain the probability of a similar action going forward, given a huge capex programme of 12 billion pound over three years. 

 

Tata Motors, on its part, said it had to take the accounting adjustment as part of ‘charge’ and Accelerate ‘transformation’ programmes to enable Jaguar Land Rover to counter the multip ..

XE did badly (ranked 13th out of 14) in the 2018 What Car? Reliability Survey under the executive car segment. More than 18,000 people did this survey about the reliability of their cars. Results of the executive car reliability list as follows:

 

 

https://www.whatcar.com/news/2018-what-car-reliability-survey/n17810

 

Comments: "Jaguar XE owners also spend a lot of time in dealerships, because 42% of their cars had a fault. While there were problems in every area, the most frequent were brakes and interior trim (both 11%) and electrics (10%). Most cars remained driveable and were xed in less than a day, but a few owners had to pay £500-£750."

 

My personal take:

I also noted that other JLR makes, such as XF and Range Rover, ranked bottom across different categories. This does not reflect well on their QC or reliability at large. Of course you may take this survey with a pinch of salt. I would not risk my money on its products though.

I wonder how C class sells in UK?

Alfa guilia is up on top??

 

Then this survey cannot believe

The facelift XE looks good. 

 

Hmm the Cerato is like a mix and mash of cars. Their new DRL reminds me of Porsche.

Have you owned that Alfa Giulia before, or are you applying a historical bias on Alfa Romeo's latest cars?

no change since the 1960s. Jaguar all along has piss poor reliability. I'm biased but i have actually never seen any product made in the UK being good. their engineering skills are good, but when it come to mass production its a big failure.

[makeanewcall]

Thanks for sharing, totally put me off buying a jag despite it's reasonable pricing and gorgeous aesthetics!

 

Dont wanna get a car with high downtime.

[thedryvr]

... and good drive! :)

[nicedake]

Yes, Sure, I really get a stealing price at 140k nett. Being monitoring for the XE 2.0t for a long time period as being attempted to buy even since the promotion price at 159k, but due to my BMW 520i still perfectly functioning so to stop my gear to go for that in 2018.

 

Just happened to see the ad that event cars go for 140k with 10 unit limited on 2nd March, so quickly booked a shining red XE within a hour as that is my dreaming Jaguar color.

 

Will be getting my car in about 3 weeks, so would like to hear more feedback and comments from fellow brothers here as what I need to be looking for and attention to after owning of this animal.  

[nicedake]

The dealer also throw in the free Cam recorder & car matt for me which is quite good, but must get min 80k loan min 5 years and in house AIG insurance from them as promotional  deal requirement.

 

If like one bro said here about FC is so bad at 8.8km then I would think it is way too low as compared to their ad for the combined FC at like 14km/l. Will update mine here after few months tests and trial running of the XE 2.0t

[nigel8210]

with regards to the reliability survey, one must take into consideration the survey targets are based where...

For example I know when C Class W205 first came out in the US, those assembled there seems to have more issues

In Singapore, W205 came from South Africa, (only a handful first batch) came from Bremann Germany

 

Likewise,W205 in China was assembled in China

W205 in Malaysia assembled locally as welll
