Jaguar XE

[car50]

Congrats

 

The new XE price now listed as $193 999

 

u saved 40-50k within 1-2months

 

most get around 8-9l/100km, your 7l is very good

 

acceleration in XE is faster than most cars and feels good

 

PPS whatever people say is always temporary, more important is regular washing and occasional waxing

 

 

 

Hi, Dear All

 

Just updates all here with my about 3 weeks driving of the XE 2.0P:

 

1) With mileage clocked ~650km

2) FC is ~7.2l/100km for the 2 times petrol pumped so far

3) Auto start/stop occasionally off  itself or manually switched off by myself

4) Acceleration pretty smooth ~7s to 100 km/hr speed

5) Can feel it is kind of drag if not stepping of the pedal or down slope with kind of auto speeding control I am 

    not sure it is a good feature or not

6) Seat behind ok to accept as my wife feels pretty comfortable but shall feel bit cramp if taller than 1.78m

 

A) Can I check with brothers/sisters here as the head light is auto on by my initial setting, should it be manually turn on better

     or you guys just leave it auto as well?

B) Is it good to go for a glass coating for the paint protection which costs ~3k RM done in Malaysia?

If I recall your car is red and I would say go for the glass coating. Firstly the car will be indeed easier to wash and red is Color that looks best when the car is dust free

The new list price should be for the new face lifted model which no longer uses the rotary dial gear shift

The updated interior is much more posh

They were clearing stock , 10units selling at about $140k

Also COE went up $10k since

Hi, Thanks all the advices and input for sharing as we are all in this Jaguar XE family to enjoy our driving so far, and yes, I am thinking

to go for a glass coating so the protection for the paint will be superior!

 

Some good points I felt from my 4 weeks driving of the XE 2.0P

 

1) The Acceleration is really fast which so easy and comfortable to take over other cars as compared to my BMW520i which is so slow

and lag behind for starting.

 

2) Steering wheel control is very light and smooth

 

3) Brake system is very effective and responsive

 

4) great exterior look which stand out easily as compared to other models

 

 

Just to answer one brother above the 194k selling price is still for the old facelift as the new facelift is only coming in Oct, 2019. The 140k price

I got was really a stealing one which mine is not even event car but just a brand new one so I consider I am the lucky pick, and also due to the

COE price going up a lot >10k.

My previous 2016 XE steering wheel was heavy compared to Merc, Audi or BM.

So what do you think was the reason it was going for 140K if they continue to bring in the same model $190K since it is not an event car

What was the reason they need to clear this 10 units of stock

Auto headlights actually is personal preference.

I don't like it turn on/off/on when it's bright enough.

Coating for me I find they won't last too long. No point spending too much. Don't get too emo about the new car la.

[nicedake]

Sure, Thanks for sister Solar's advice, then I will not spend 3k RM for my glass coating for the car as my friends advised.

 

Yes, I also dont like to on/off/on the head light so I am just leaving it on now.

 

The problem now I had is for the auto stop/start function is always not there when stationary = RPM at 0. I called the deal to fix a time

to let them take a look although it is not a big issue and I can lean it as is for the time being but just feel brand new car should not behave

or react in such manner.

Ha ha, dear brother/sister:

Your avatar? yourå°ä¸ðð, that is nice to have!

 

Likely I am thinking my auto SS not functioning might be due to non charging of the battery or spoiled battery or bad connection.

As I dont have car cam monitoring 24/7, and also even I switched off the air-con for testing, plus stop the monitoring and it still

not working again.

 

I have fixed a slot to go the workshop to have a check if see how, but even the technician also mention to me this basically is not

a issue but just for FC & emission saving, but I disagreed as this is a feature and I must have it functioning whether I want to use it

or not that is my choice or preference.

Someone on the internet has done a study.. The fuel savings from auto as isn't significant.

More for the auto manufacturers to bypass emission requirements.

 

It was shown also that the most wear and tear to an engine happens during the startup...

If u are stuck in traffic jam like the causeway..

190k now?

I recall it was selling at 150k about 6 months ago, but the coe wasn't 40k lesser right?

Weird..

Even my own diesel was bought for nearly 160k while coe was 55k.

 

Wearnes increasing their margin?

Edited May 4, 2019 by Solar

Hi, Brother Solar

 

So that you bought a XE 2.0D @160 with COE @ 55k which the price is actually not a bad choice at that

time, so without the COE basically the car price from Wearnes is ~105k for the diesel model in 2016.

 

Due to the registration tax structure with low ARF paid for your 2.0D, the XE, 2.0T for petrol model is about

12 to 15k more price gap as the ARF for petrol model is much higher.

 

Pls bear in mind that although the COE is lower now relatively speaking but Jaguar models need to pay extra

emission tax under C1-2 band at extra 20k, so that will lift up the selling price for Jaguar  XE & XF models.

 

So basically the XE 2.0P car price are in the range 135 to 140k w/o COE, and ~180 to 185k with COE under the

current COE level.(List price of 195k sure will give you a shock but normally can get a 5+5+1 = 11K discount with

trade in plus loan plus insurance package ), So My estimation that Wearnes will be selling ~180-184k from their sales

girls.

 

You are right the auto ss function is not much of economic sense but as it is a new car, so likely I still want to have it but

may be using it often, likely mine should be a battery charge issue that it is not charging totally in my guess which I will

have it a detail check tomorrow to have it fixed!

[Xtrocious]

Thanks brother for the input

 

 

The sales lady also tell me that  the Auto start/stop button which I just feedbacked to Wearne technician because I often encounter this situation for the week as it will not turn on automatically no matter in the morning or in the evening I drive back home from office and she said the car sensor is very intelligent to detect the cabin temperature or conditions like what you mentioned above. 

 

If the temp goes above certain values (too hot), the function will also cease because the start/stop function will cut off the air-conditional compressor when activated to save fuel and so when the cabin is too warm, the sensor will tell the function not to activate.

 

She advise me if I felt it is an issue for this, always can drive the car to the workshop there for them to have a look what need to be adjusted if necessary as it is rather not a problem but just a feature if you have you feel not necessary, but you complain if it is not auto activated as it should be!

 

The FC is still quite stable stays about 7.5-7.6l/100km with most of the time mix usage of city/highway driving.

Just wanna tell you about the Auto start/stop button which I previously complained to Wearne technician because I also encounter this issue.

The start/stop function will automatically switch off if your battery is low or in the morning when you start your car.  You may need to let your car run a while to regenerate the system.  If you have other equipment that also uses the battery and the battery cannot support so many things, the car will auto select the item that you frequently use... eg. Dash cam, etc and the start/stop function will cease.  Another scenario is the cabin temperature.  If the temp goes above certain values (too hot), the function will also cease because the start/stop function will cut off the air-conditional compressor when activated to save fuel and so when the cabin is too warm, the sensor will tell the function not to activate

 

Your SE is bullsh1tting you hahah

 

The start-stop is damn hopeless - mine died after 3 weeks and despite going back to them twice, it has not been fixed

 

The first time, it worked for another 4 days before conking out 

 

The second time, it died the next day and didn't come back on

 

There's nothing connected to my car battery other than the car cam they installed for me FOC

 

My previous Merc's start-stop worked flawlessly for nearly 5 years under the same driving conditions (despite the SE telling me it could due to traffic etc - come on dude, it's the freaking same route that I take to work and back)

That is the reason I got no hesitation to put the 15k deposit for my Jaguar XE 2.0P on 2nd March 2019 when this 140k event car price

came out just for 10 units.

 

So lucky end up I got my brand new car at the incredible event car price last Saturday.

 

But just this sporty sedan car behind seat a little cramp indeed guess still better than the BMW 320i version but I guess lose to the Volvo S60 and Audi A4, maybe similar to the Benz CLA 180 or C180 class.

 

The back is definitely more cramped than the CLA or C180 hahah

[Solar]

I actually dropped CLA SB from my shortlist despite having slightly taller headroom at the rear compared to the sedan CLA.

The butt width was very tight for 3 adults behind.

C class was better, but didn't get good price from the SE.

[Vinceng]

Don;t understand the rationale behind engine stop start function, especially in SG.

 

Trips are so short and traffic light stops last no longer than 2 mins on average.

 

Stop  start function will prematurely wear off your battery and engine mounting 

 

 

[nicedake]

With all input and advices from brothers, I guess I will just put a switch off of this function generally whenever

I started my engine for the trip.

 

Is there anyway to make this default auto SS setting from on to off? then only will turn on it if I want to activate it! 

 

Also my in-car air circulation turn is only lasts about 5 mins then it will be back to default from external air flow, is

there a system setting we could change ourself to make it as permanently in-car air circulation setting by myself?
