I swear Joe, you have been one of the hardest working auto-journalists throughout 2019 in pumping out video after video (even on holidays). Make sure to treat Mrs. Raiti's Rides to a nice Christmas gift. We'll see you in 2020!
Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate your support! Trust me I have Lori really taken car of this year! Happy holidays to you and yours. I'll see you next year.
You all probably dont care but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
Picked up a 2019 xe last week, one thing I have to say it feels real special once you get in! Putting that thing in sport mode turns the tachometer all red glowing and you can really feel the difference in the performance. Its a good option for people wanting something different than a german car, only 40k of these were sold in the last 5 years if I’m not mistaking.
i also picked up a 2019 XE 2.5T a month ago. My ride is intoxicating, and actually is better than your test car. I raced sports cars in college years, and my machine corners at least at 1 G, no body lean in dynamic mode in sport transmission paddle shifter. Mine now has 7000 miles on it, smells new. The sound on the turbo 4 is fine, but I'm biased having also owned a 4 cylinder Porsche and a Honda CB 750 4 cylinder motorcycle, for 5 years each. I also currently own a SV 650 S Suzuki motorcycle, a Dodge Durango Hemi, and 1987 Mercedes Benx 300SDL. I LOVE MY 2019 JAG!
You review every car I look up! Haha, I love you man. Thanks for being so passionate about what you do. I love your videos. The screen on the inside of this vehicle is amazing and I love the inside!
I have one of these and it HAULS!!!!. You wouldn't think so because of the horsepower but when you put it on sport mode its like a completly different car. I dont know how tf they did it.
This guy needs more subs for real.....He is on the level of much higher sub-channels!!!!! Joe your one of my favorite auto reviewer/Journalist always find myself going to your videos! Love finding out how many candy bars or twinkies we can fit in the glove box.....LOL !!!!!! Seriously though keep up all the hard work and keep this thing going my friend!!
Joe, I believe your auto comments, videos, and style are one of a kind. You’re detailed in your reviews. I’m a jag enthusiast and I really enjoyed all your jag reviews. FYI - the old hood “jag ornaments” is called the “Leaper” while the front facing jag emblem is the “Growler”. Keep up the great work Joe!!! 😊 Hopefully you would be able to do the older jags? (Xtype, SType, XJ’s, XK120-150?)
thats crazy the paint is so reflective it looks like its dirty from reflecting the ground but this is my favorite luxury car brand i like their suv and f types
Watching this while sitting at the Grand America hotel in Salt Lake City. Ppl were starring at me laughing at the blind date, diamonds comments. Keep that nice accent to your vid’s up!
My great-aunt has been a Ford-Lincoln-Mercury loyalists all her life. Mustang, LTD, Town car, Grand Marquis, she's owned them all. now that she's an senior citizen,she can't manage the growing line of SUV's and was priced out of the Lincoln Continental which would have been her first choice as a replacement sedan. She currently owns a Lincoln MKS, but if anything happens to that car, I'll be recommending the XES. Whether or not it's a great sports sedan, I think it's the perfect car for her.
Nice balanced review. I believe the steering wheel paddles are optional on the P250 and standard on the P300 which is also standard AWD. I have a 2014 XJ and the reliability has been fine. I have driven the 17 and 18 XE's and they are just OK. They just don't feel like a Jaguar to me, but I guess I'm spolied. I sat in the refreshed 2020 XE P300 in the showroom and the interior improvements are substantial. The P300 has the contrast stitching you missed in the P250. I just don't like the 4 cylinder sound, rather gruff to me for the price point. NIce styling overall though.
I really like the Jaguar XE. It looks better and more unique than the BMW 3-series, Audi A4, and Mercedes Benz C-class. However, when it comes to pure performance value for the money, the wallet leans towards an Infiniti Q50, Lexus IS350, Genesis G70, Acura TLX, and Subaru WRX. A badge means nothing if the behind it car is garbage. Merry Christmas Joe!
Joe it's a decent luxury car but it has lower performance numbers than some of its competitors and the competition is fierce with the likes of audi and bmw it's pretty hard in choosing a car in this segment, I love the styling but its performance is one of its downfalls
Interesting, because when it came out, almost every review said it was the equal of the 3 series, and blew away the Audi. Where did you get your opinion from?
Joe, another great review! I agree with you, for $46k one should love the car versus just liking it. I was in pain when you got in the back seat! Overall, I think many other brands in this category offer more value. Overall, a big zonk for the Jag! Merry Christmas to you and Lori. Thanks for all your hard work in 2019 and wishing you the best in 2020.
Hi Robert! I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this Jag! Thank you for your awesome support! I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and I can't wait for 2020.
The TaTa sport sedan. I have always loved the exterior styling, and performance of the XE, but would never buy one. The longterm reliability is not there yet. Maybe for a lease though.
I've had four (free) annual maintenance services on my 2017 XE R-Sport, and that's the only time I've seen my dealer - zero mechanical issues...and I'm sure the reliability has only gotten better. Except in my case it couldn't get any better. Stop listening to 20 or 50 year old Jaguar horror stories.
Great review I love Jaguar I love the way you did take a nonchalant tru2form approach to everything keep up the great work maybe the Jaguar XJ is going out last year in production in white the thing is a gangster limo
Great in depth review. Must admit it is nice but flawed. Space in the rear, tight. Also reliability is the biggest issue. Friend of mine has just had a rather large unexpected bill after a breakdown in his XF. For me the Kia Stinger really ticks the boxes.
1:40 the panel misalignment as usual the front fender and the hood. I have so many misaligned panels in 2017 they didn't fix the issue in a new generation.
The black trim is a good upgrade to get. The aluminum trim is distracting. I have the P300 in Carpathian Grey. Not as gaudy as pull me over red. I do have red leather, though.
Interior isn’t all that bad. The backseats do look really crammed no USB in the year 2020? Absolutely crazy. Could’ve used a little more power in that thing as well
I’m very happy to still have the Jaguar brand still in business and pumping out unique automobiles. With that said Joe, one of the 1st things to come to mind when speaking about Jaguar is reliability...or lack of it. How are the Jags these days as far as reliability is concerned? They have a long history of not being reliable. Ford many years ago did them no favors when they owned Jag. They screwed up Volvo and Aston Martin as well. But I digress. I like the looks of the new Jags, but again what is the reliability these days?
10 foot pole? C'mon son. I own an XE, zero problems and the lengthiest available warranty in class. This ain't the '99 and the early 2000's. I hate seeing this type of perpetually propagated thinking. If you're doing review videos, you owe it to your viewership to be more responsible in your responses. Yes, my experience is unavoidably anecdotal, but you can research the "reliability" for yourself and the associated maintenance costs relative to the class competition.

Maybe he's talking about the 10 foot long poll of Jaguar owners who would disagree with him on reliability...
We're talking about AVERAGE reliability , not one off stories from certain people who have had good jags. Even the dodge dart has had some satisfied drivers..... Of course there's going to be good cars in any functioning brand, or else they would be bankrupt and out of business right now if every car was bad..... but on AVERAGE , Jaguar is not up to par in reliability compared to most auto manufactures or else it wouldn't be near the bottom of most car brand reliability reviews, people wouldn't be protesting in front of their headquarters in China over poor build quality, and the resale value would be much better for a higher mileage one.... Good on you guys for choosing and having jags with no reliability problems, i hope it stays that way, but a lot of other people have and Joe is just giving a funny reply on the overall reliability issues of owning one. Jaguar as a standalone company, was not finding any buyers due to historic losses it was making , so it was packaged with landrover and offered for sale to Tata motors so it would at least not go bankrupt...... Jaguars as a whole are great for a sporty experience and comfort , while Toyota as a whole is not.... every car company can't be good at everything and average reliability is where Jaguar lacks
Yo Joe! I'd like to ask you which car is better to you between the XE and the latest 3 series! I own the latter and I'm happy with it because it comes with a larger rear leg room as well as boot space!! Anyway, after seeing your great video about the Lexus LS 500, I think I'm going to buy one within 5-6 years, something like that!! Huge bargain!!! An alternative could be the Jaguar XJ L!! What's your advice about both "comparisons"? Thanks a lot! Keep it up
It's not bad, but I think the Ford fusions (before the mid cycle update) were more attractive save for the rear taillights, and they had nearly the exact same power with optional awd for a better price. I can't see this selling too well.
Alright Joe off topic question but i'm torn between a new mustang gt or a camaro LT1, I'm getting a new car in March and I don't know what's the best bang for the buck.
Lmao I have a 2018 Jaguar xe 35t awd. Whenever someone has to sit in the back I have to warn them lol. It’s not just the lack of room but it’s a little hard to get in because of the low profile. I’m 6’3 so even getting in the front, although not hard” you have to kind of adjust how you get in. Once you get in though it’s not bad. I don’t mind minimal interiors but there is a good amount of hard plastic. With all of that being said the V-6 supercharged engine is a fucking beast and everything about the mechanical and actual driving of the car is top tier. Also not many people have the 35t awd. I know crack heads who drive bmw’s
The car still looks nice. But I couldn't go back to another xe now that they only come with a trubo 4. I had a '17 xe 35t with the supercharged V6. That was such a great engine in this car. Because they no loner offered that engine in the new xe... I had to look elsewhere for a new lease. Bummer.
@@RaitisRides no problem. I just don't know why they would do away with the super 6 in this car. I would have gone right back to jaguar again if it was offered. The car design and ride was, and I assume still is, exceptional.
This is very stylish redesign but I think it's max 296hp pales in comparison to a Mercedes C43 or C63, a BMW M340i or M3, an Audi S5 or RS5, or even an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Jaguar should've had at least a 330-350hp output to really challenge the aforementioned European performance sport sedans.
Choosing between British and Italian cars is like choosing to walk bare feet over broken glass and nails lol. No matter which one you choose you are going to be hurting. However, I would take the Alfa Romeo Giulia over this. That’s amore a prima vista! My nonno had a 156 with the “Busso”. Great car if you don’t care much about reliability.
I know a lot of other brands tick more of the boxes but cars like the BMW 3 Series are simply that. Just another BMW. A Jag has a sense of occasions and style which the others don't. Nobody cares about another Audi. People ask questions about the Jag. It makes a statement and is by far the best looking
@@RaitisRides Do you find similar quirks with Land Rover products? Both are brands that I have loved since I was a little kid, and it kills me to see Jaguar falling so hard.
Exact same issue as the land rover. worst reliability of all auto manufacturers and you couldn't pay me to drive one. I don't care how nice or how fancy, if they can't even keep it running for a 2 year lease
I'm on my 3rd Jaguar, dating back to the Ford era. I've had no reliability problems with any one (X Type, XF, and now XE). Maybe the difference between your experience with Jaguar and mine is that I actually have some.
@@james2042 95,000 on the X Type in 11 years (owned, not leased), 37,000 on the XF (3 year lease), and 17,500 of the XE (year 2 of 3 year lease). The XF was my favorite - Supercharged 340hp and beatiful to look at and drive, with a great exhaust note. The XE is "only" 240hp, but weighs so much less than the XF, it handles even better, and my gas mileage is nearly double than I got in the XF. I usually drive in Eco mode, but I will occasionally go into Sport mode, where the acceleration is pretty fierce (I drive on roads with traffic, not race tracks). I do prefer the smaller car. I rarely have more than two people in the car, so the small back seat doesn't bother me (besides, I'm driving!). I pull my seat up a bit, and no one has said they felt too squished. The XE has been in the shop 3 times in 26 months: Twice for routine scheduled maintenance (free with lease), and once for a software update. My dealer gives me a loaner (usually a brand new XF). The XF was pretty much routine maintenance, as well, as was the X Type. Unfortunately, I had a coolant leak (loose hose) that I was unaware of, and the flywheel cracked from massive overheating. A shop I had brought it in for for new tires noticed the leak, but never told me, nor did they tighten the clamp, and I didn't pay attention. Jaguars of the 21st century are not like the Jags of old - and having been the owner of a 1967 Triumph, I certainly have experience with older British cars. Those I would not recommend, unless yo have a good mechanic.
With Jaguar's recent reliability reports, and the overall car that you get for your money here, this XE is a hard one to recommend. Especially looking at that price of 46k, you can get a naturally aspirated 3.8 L Genesis G80 with AWD, or if you are really into a small car, you can get a G70 for 46 with pretty much all the features added and a 3.3 L V6 Turbo engine. I don't know how can one go for an XE when those 2 options are available Edit: Or... How about a Lexus IS F Sport. Damn this XE is in a really bad company
I like the classic simple look but at the same time if you were to tell it’s a 2014 model I would believe you... don’t get me started on the reliability

Are jaguars pretty expensive to maintain in the long run?
yes
Always have loved Jag sedans. Especially the really cool early 2000s supercharged V8 ones. I’d love to own one but maintence seems to scary !!
I totally agree with you Dave.
It looked like the head unit restarted on you at ~18:15 pretty weird.
It actually did! It had me scratching my head! No pun intended.
@@RaitisRides definitely a zonk!
Zonk for the Jag for that price.. Joe.. Zonk Zonk...
I would take my money somewhere else.
As soon as I saw that roof I knew you were going to ZONK it.
You know me better than I know myself. ;-)
Hey Joe, What is that watch that you wear?
Hey Greg! It's an Invicta. Thanks for noticing.
"Not gunna scratch your Hope diamond" lmao. Good one 😁
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
I love this channel. Jags are cool but like bmw they don’t have the best reliability out there.
Thanks for saying that Robert! It is so great to have you be part of the Raiti's Rides family!
you’re on a roll!
Nebb thanks fir saying that!
I don't doubt it.
Before I forget, Merry Zonkmas and Happy Zonk Year!
You are awesome Hans! Same to you and yours!
Have you done a review on the genesis g70 or g80?
Alright Joe off topic question but i'm torn between a new mustang gt or a camaro LT1, I'm getting a new car in March and I don't know what's the best bang for the buck.
I am going with the Mustang.
I’m surprised that there is no usb for back passengers. Even the 4runner venture thought of that.
Toyota fanboys are gonna find a way to fanboy, even in a Jaguar XE video review.
@@JulezWinnfield Not a toyota fan. Just comparing it to a toyota that hasn't been change for the last 10 years.
Thanks for your input and perspective. I really appreciate you watching!
Lmao I have a 2018 Jaguar xe 35t awd. Whenever someone has to sit in the back I have to warn them lol. It’s not just the lack of room but it’s a little hard to get in because of the low profile. I’m 6’3 so even getting in the front, although not hard” you have to kind of adjust how you get in. Once you get in though it’s not bad. I don’t mind minimal interiors but there is a good amount of hard plastic. With all of that being said the V-6 supercharged engine is a fucking beast and everything about the mechanical and actual driving of the car is top tier. Also not many people have the 35t awd. I know crack heads who drive bmw’s
I see the Infotainment system kept restarting during the acceleration test...zonk!
I was wondering what the heck was going on for it.
how long do these tend to last, I know the diesels weren't that reliable
I lease a 2018 and I've never had a car that handles this good but the downside is the transmission, that shit lags.
Cool cannot wait to see xj 2021
I totally agree with you Omar!
What is the knob for underneath the wiper stalk?
Steering wheel lock for adjusting the wheel.
Best reviews! I wish it had more power
Thanks for saying that! I wish it had more power as well.
The car still looks nice. But I couldn't go back to another xe now that they only come with a trubo 4. I had a '17 xe 35t with the supercharged V6. That was such a great engine in this car. Because they no loner offered that engine in the new xe... I had to look elsewhere for a new lease. Bummer.
Thanks for that great input and perspective!
@@RaitisRides no problem. I just don't know why they would do away with the super 6 in this car. I would have gone right back to jaguar again if it was offered. The car design and ride was, and I assume still is, exceptional.
No paddles😦❓
This is very stylish redesign but I think it's max 296hp pales in comparison to a Mercedes C43 or C63, a BMW M340i or M3, an Audi S5 or RS5, or even an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Jaguar should've had at least a 330-350hp output to really challenge the aforementioned European performance sport sedans.
I totally agree with you!
Good review Joe but I still prefer the 1980s XJ6 style ..
I can understand why.
Choosing between British and Italian cars is like choosing to walk bare feet over broken glass and nails lol. No matter which one you choose you are going to be hurting.
However, I would take the Alfa Romeo Giulia over this. That’s amore a prima vista! My nonno had a 156 with the “Busso”. Great car if you don’t care much about reliability.
Thanks for sharing that great perspective Lou!
I wish Joe would've tested the highest model XE.
I had to work with what was available. I will bring it to you as soon as I can get y hands on one.
I know a lot of other brands tick more of the boxes but cars like the BMW 3 Series are simply that. Just another BMW. A Jag has a sense of occasions and style which the others don't. Nobody cares about another Audi. People ask questions about the Jag. It makes a statement and is by far the best looking
it gets questions on how many times it’s been fixed in the week
Was really loving this car until the back seat was like my first time getting laid. ZONK FEST! Lol
I feel your pain! Thanks for making me laugh.
I was just gonna comment on a video and ask for a review of a Jaguar XJ lol....you think we could get a review of a new XJ?
Yes I will be getting that together. Stay tuned!
Failing Jaguar Dealers in N.J are building new larger Jag/Land Rover dealerships...WHY?
Trust me I am just as confused as you!
why is this not a V6?
That is a great question!
It seems like Jaguar needs some new packaging and ergonomics engineers.
AGREED!
@@RaitisRides Do you find similar quirks with Land Rover products? Both are brands that I have loved since I was a little kid, and it kills me to see Jaguar falling so hard.
Exact same issue as the land rover. worst reliability of all auto manufacturers and you couldn't pay me to drive one. I don't care how nice or how fancy, if they can't even keep it running for a 2 year lease
I could not agree with you more James!
I'm on my 3rd Jaguar, dating back to the Ford era. I've had no reliability problems with any one (X Type, XF, and now XE). Maybe the difference between your experience with Jaguar and mine is that I actually have some.
@@msalzberg4962 what kinda milage do you put on them?
@@james2042 95,000 on the X Type in 11 years (owned, not leased), 37,000 on the XF (3 year lease), and 17,500 of the XE (year 2 of 3 year lease). The XF was my favorite - Supercharged 340hp and beatiful to look at and drive, with a great exhaust note. The XE is "only" 240hp, but weighs so much less than the XF, it handles even better, and my gas mileage is nearly double than I got in the XF. I usually drive in Eco mode, but I will occasionally go into Sport mode, where the acceleration is pretty fierce (I drive on roads with traffic, not race tracks). I do prefer the smaller car. I rarely have more than two people in the car, so the small back seat doesn't bother me (besides, I'm driving!). I pull my seat up a bit, and no one has said they felt too squished.
The XE has been in the shop 3 times in 26 months: Twice for routine scheduled maintenance (free with lease), and once for a software update. My dealer gives me a loaner (usually a brand new XF).
The XF was pretty much routine maintenance, as well, as was the X Type. Unfortunately, I had a coolant leak (loose hose) that I was unaware of, and the flywheel cracked from massive overheating. A shop I had brought it in for for new tires noticed the leak, but never told me, nor did they tighten the clamp, and I didn't pay attention.
Jaguars of the 21st century are not like the Jags of old - and having been the owner of a 1967 Triumph, I certainly have experience with older British cars. Those I would not recommend, unless yo have a good mechanic.
With Jaguar's recent reliability reports, and the overall car that you get for your money here, this XE is a hard one to recommend. Especially looking at that price of 46k, you can get a naturally aspirated 3.8 L Genesis G80 with AWD, or if you are really into a small car, you can get a G70 for 46 with pretty much all the features added and a 3.3 L V6 Turbo engine. I don't know how can one go for an XE when those 2 options are available
Edit: Or... How about a Lexus IS F Sport. Damn this XE is in a really bad company
Very good points! Thanks for sharing your great perspective!
I like the classic simple look but at the same time if you were to tell it’s a 2014 model I would believe you... don’t get me started on the reliability
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Beautiful car
I am so glad that you like this one Louis!
Beautiful car!
I am so glad that you like this one!
46k is not too bad for a Jag.
Hey joe, are your videos unscripted?
DisneyChannelFlow 2 yes always. Why do you ask?
@@RaitisRides Because your videos are so good and professional, that I thought they were scripted haha!
Looks unique against the rest. Its like a cheaper version of aston martin Db
I can totally see where you are coming from.
Buick Regal gs?
Regal is dead.
Jags are nice looking but like Land Rover, Tata owned and reliability not really good. Nice review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I could not agree more with you Larry.
I have yet to see 10 year old jags on the road they don’t last long that I know
I am not certain about their reliability either.
Would take the aging IS350 over this. Then again I own a Q50s so I'm good for now :).
AGREED!
I Wish 2025 Jaguar Would Make the XE 2Dr Coupe Like the 1970s XJ 6 Coupe.
Love the XE, but this particular trim really doesn't do this car justice.
Speaking of jag the jag suv was mentioned in 04 took 13 yrs to make it this xe i would skip kia stinger gt for that price
Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
"....the BEST luxury sports sedan or NOT worth it". Like, there's no in between? It's one or the other?
Oh, Okay.
