Jaguar XE for sale

You should buy a Jaguar XE if you prioritize stylish looks, a fun-to-drive experience with great handling, and value for money in the used market, but be aware of potential reliability issues (especially with early diesel engines and electrics) and smaller interior space compared to rivals like the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class, or Audi A4 ; it’s a good choice if you’re prepared for potentially higher running costs and thorough pre-purchase checks.

The main differences include size, performance, technology, and price. The XF is larger, more comfortable, and offers extra features, while the XE is sportier and more compact.

According to various expert reviews and consumer accounts, a well-maintained XE can last up to 150,000 miles or more. Furthermore, trustworthy outfits report that the XE’s durability is on par with other luxury compact sedans, with many owners experiencing reliable performance well past the 100,000-mile mark.

As part of our 2024 Reliability Survey, many Jaguar XE owners reported frequent issues with electrical systems, particularly faulty infotainment units and malfunctioning warning lights. Engine problems, such as oil leaks and turbocharger failures, were also common, often leading to costly repairs.

The best used Jaguar depends on your needs, but popular reliable choices include the XF (2007-2015) for good value with Ford-derived engines, the luxurious XJ (2010-2019) offering great comfort and surprisingly good reliability, the sporty F-Type for performance, and the well-regarded XE (post-2017) for a modern entry-level experience, with a focus on models using proven Ford-era engines or later supercharged V6s for better reliability.

From the XE’s launch until 2019 the petrol V6 was from Jaguar’s family of AJ-V8 engines, which is covered in the [official Jaguar model information](https://www.jaguar.co.uk/jaguar-range/index.html).
