I got the XE R sport in July and took it round the North Yorkshire Dales on holliday and those roads are built for this thing , the handling is incredible
Jags been brilliant in recent years I'm actually going in the opposite direction from the Germans. Each Range platform gets one variant of the FTYPE actually. The XE gets the base ftype engine ,the XF gets the more powerful v6,the new XJ will likely get the 550 hp r type engine whilst the Land rover will. likely get the svr 575 hp unit. The F type is now the "spiritual base" on which the entire range is based.
Hi together, i'm from German, sorry for my bad english. I wait since 4 Months of my XE. Its only a 20D with 180 HP. At last Days in May he will comming..... It's a great car and with the same equipment cheaper as like the 3 big Germans. And you don't see so often in the streets. The Engine is very effektive and also the Insurance is cheaper as like Mercedes and co. I cant' find a argument against this car. Thanks for your Review so i can cut the time to wait for my car......
I must admit Jag have come a long long way in recent years particularly in design inside and out. All that said I still wouldn't plonk my money down on one.
Love the car, but Jaguar needs a better interior design. They need some metal bits to break up the black. It should be more contemporary. Also, the paddle shifters should be magnesium, not cheap, flimsy plastic.
CarNut .kiwi Thanks for the reply mate. Been watching your videos for a while now. It’s rare to see a fellow kiwi making high quality content about cars and it’s quite refreshing to watch. It’s especially great as you obviously review the NZ spec of cars which may not necessarily be the same as other parts of the world. Keep up the great videos! And yes we are quite spoilt for good roads here. I’m always on the look out for new great roads to drive on. That’s why I thought I’d ask haha! Btw. Looking forward for a Hyundai i30n review when it comes out next year (according to Hyundai nz)
I have a c250 sport I chose it over this jag for one reason. I have to have a gear shift to rest my hand on I drove this car for 30min on a test drive and I just simply didn't know what to do with the Hans that I normally rest on the shifter.
They are extremely similar on paper. I think the Jag is slightly faster but the BMW is slightly cheaper to buy and run. Both great cars. I'd have the Jag for that fantastic V6. :)
+Joshua L 340im better built; looks better- that jag grille not very nice; nicer to drive e.g. corner rolling; B58 engine awesome - plus better value for money. For me choice was easy to make
@@christopherdandeker6122 I'm interested (though a couple years late here!) why you feel like the bmw is better built/handles better. I think they both look amazing, and am mostly going off the motortrend head to head where they strongly favored the jaguar. Somehow just hearing about this car (I'm in the 8-10 years used market, for the time). Cheers
It’s 2021 now and there is one that I’m interested in for $60,000 it’s done 50,000 k’s. it’s black and beautiful and I would love to know if it’s worth buying 🤘
Well, they are a lovely car so I guess it depends on the value you see in it. If you want it you’ll find a way to justify it, eh. Good luck with your decision and cheers for watching. Blu.
Tell ya what , that was a great review . and the first british racing green XE i've seen . the engine sounds a bit dull to me . especially at the tips . except for the supercharger , that sounds great . i do like the piano black , it looks good enough to clean your hands maybe before each drive , or wear gloves , or just clean it regularly third world issue any ways . nice car.
I have the XES since July and absolutely love it. This cars is a drivers car and just love driving this great car.
me too got the xe s past October and really enjoying it
with that same color💓
how quiet is the interior with that sound system?
Bye bye bmw!

Jaguar is definitely the youthful choice now.
All the old people drive Mercedes and Audi's now, how times have changed!
I recent that I'm an old bloke i own an XE-S Jaguar.
First time i have seen a review by CarNut.kiwi. and i'm suitably impressed by him.An honest and objective evaluation.I will have to become a regular.
Great sensible review and without crappy music in the background.
Great review! Never seen your channel before, and I´m positively surprised:) You have got yourself a new subscriber!

+CarNut .kiwi The Price! How do you compare it to the Holden VF II SSV Redline?
Another great review! Please keep them coming 😀
Nice car, what's the transmission?
I love my Jag XF... it purrrrrrrrs
Could anyone tell me what color is the car in the video?
Love the car, but Jaguar needs a better interior design. They need some metal bits to break up the black. It should be more contemporary. Also, the paddle shifters should be magnesium, not cheap, flimsy plastic.
Brilliant review. You have rather convinced me to buy a XE-S over C200 AMG....
That's awesome, i got every I want to know about the car. Thank you! Btw, what is the color of the XE shown in the video?
What roads do you usually film your reviews at? Looks like some bloody good roads!

+CarNut .kiwi @ 25% less I'll stick with the Redline. :-)

I wonder how this compares to a BMW 340i with an M Sport package..
They are extremely similar on paper. I think the Jag is slightly faster but the BMW is slightly cheaper to buy and run. Both great cars. I'd have the Jag for that fantastic V6. :)
I believe motor trend has a video on that.
***** motortrend compared the XE-S and the 340i not the pre lci 335i

Which country you from mate?
Great review !

third world issue any ways . nice car.
Very nice review , you have got all the point noticed.
Thanks
Kapil
Glad .....do you have particular exhaust note videos......
thanks a lot I need to ask one more thing from how far the exhaust of XE-S could be heard that is how loud it is?
I WANT ONE!!!
Got one it’s faultless and it turns heads
Glad to hear it Neil. Always like coming across an XE on the road and good to know it’s doing the business for you. Cheers for watching. 👍
Undecided between this one and bmw 535i
Good video !
I looked with pleasure, and subscribe ! :)
Sweet engine let down by the low rent behind the competition interior.
If i was to buy this car my first course of action would be to flash the ECU and remap that puppy.
im all the way with u on that!!!
Nice car but maybe alil late to the show. I mean the design looks dated. It looks like a beamer, but for the price and performance its nice.
The front look like a BMW M5
Looks better!
Wait What? Im supposed to take Advice from someone called BLU? WTF?
No, no advice-taking required.
For $106k I could buy, 4-2013 xjr, or 25 xk8's. I'll pass...
For that price you will get the M4 cs BMW, I would wait for that. You could get a perfect BMW for have the price, as good as the Jaguar
