Jaguar - a brand that is primarily associated with the prestige and even luxury. But unveiled new sedan XE, which must compete with the C-Class from Mercedes-Benz, BMW and the third series Audi A4, the main emphasis on the achievements of the British make their engineers.
XE - the first model developed on an entirely new platform. According to the creators of the car, the British sedan - the only car in its segment, the design of which have a high proportion of aluminum. Thereby creating a very light and rigid body.
Another advantage is the very low level of drag - 0.26. His role in this was played by additional aerodynamic elements installed on almost flat bottom, and the fact that the need to optimize the air flow path taken into account even if the "drawing" the inner surfaces of the wheel arches. Were blown in the wind tunnel, even the side windows - they fell to less dust and dirt.
The flagship version of the family will be XE S equipped with a compressor V-shaped "six" and the 3-liter capacity of 340 hp - The same as that which is equipped with expensive modifications XJ models and the most affordable sports car version of the F-type.
This car accelerates up to a hundred in 5.1 seconds. However, many far more interested in a compact 4-cylinder turbo (2 liter) of an entirely new family of Ingenium, for the assembly of which the company even built a new plant. But these engines Britons tell in detail only at the Paris Motor Show in early October.
While it is known that the gasoline engine will be available in two versions, the diesel - "more than one", and run the engines will be mated to a 8-speed automatic transmission. And we are talking about a lightweight version of the box, which is used to produce models of the brand already. XE S version will be available with a manual transmission.
Also in the materials on the vehicle, referred to a completely new driver assistance system ASPC. It "operates as a cruise control at low (up to 30 km / h) speed" and "ensures optimum traction on slippery road without skidding and the need for the driver to operate the pedals."
Buyers will be able to enjoy the XE capabilities and a more traditional adaptive cruise control. In the list of options also includes a system for monitoring blind spots and the system "semi-automatic" parking lot - and the parallel and perpendicular to the sidewalk.
Instrument readings can be displayed on the laser projection display, and the mood in the cabin lights will create when setting where you can choose from 10 different colors. XE comes with a new infotainment system InControl, supports voice commands. Also on board you can set the Wi-Fi-router.
Cargo Volume British sedan is 455 liters. In this case, the boot lid is motorized, which is even more rare in the corresponding segment, - competitors such solution is used only for Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Car sales will begin next year, prices start from 35,000 euros. Representatives of the company is particularly noted their desire to reduce the cost of operation of the vehicle: for example, the service interval of the diesel XE will be 33 000 km.
