Design & Styling

The Jaguar XE takes many of the styling cues from its larger siblings, the XF and XJ. The angular headlamps and the big grille are both Jaguar hallmarks.

The XE's lines flow smoothly towards the back and onto the small boot lip spoiler. The rear tail lamps are angular as well and compliment the XE quite well.

All these styling cues combine to form a sleek and a compact sports saloon that anyone can easily be recognized by anyone as a Jaguar.
