Four years after being introduced as the first Jaguar to sport the XE moniker, the entry level sedan has received a mid cycle facelift that features a revamped design, a more luxurious cabin and a ton of technology features that improve the model on every level. With some of the new design motifs being inspired by the F-Type sports car, the facelifted Jaguar XE appears wider and lower than before, with larger front apertures, bold graphics and muscular forms eluding to the car's increased performance and improved aerodynamics. The front end features a redesigned bumper and new LED headlights with a more aggressive 'J' blade daytime running light signature. The XE's rear also features a new design for the bumper and slimmer full LED tail lights that have an updated signature graphics. All the design modifications enforce the visual width of the car, giving the XE a more planted appearance. The redesigned interior features extensive use of soft-touch materials, premium veneers and all-new door trims that improve usability and practicality as much as they look good. Shared with the F-Type, the JaguarDrive Control Switch and SportShift gear selector for automatic models give the car a more high-tech feel, while the new steering wheel, shared with the all-electric I-PACE, features hidden-until-lit graphics and tactile switches for intuitive control of key functions.
