Reviews SummaryWith the refreshed 2020 Jaguar XE, the proudly British brand again attempts to make its mark in the compact luxury sport sedan segment. Unfortunately for Jaguar, this year’s updates don’t address all of its shortcomings, and people shopping for a car like this enjoy a wealth of compelling alternatives. Nevertheless, if you want something undeniably stylish and enjoyable to drive, and you don’t want to see the same exact car during every commute, the updated 2020 XE deserves consideration. | |
Reviews SummaryIn 2012, Jaguar sold only three models, none of which attracted anyone seeking practicality. Low to the ground, rear-wheel drive, and packed with big V8 engines, these cars were expensive—and incredible to drive. Today, Jaguar's lineup is double the size and offers everything the modern luxury buyer wants: All-wheel drive, fuel efficiency, and lower price tags. The new 2018 E-Pace, a compact version of the midsize F-Pace, is Jaguar's second SUV. Even as an entry-level car, the E-Pace can still be prohibitively expensive. But as the alternative to German and Japanese brands, it's also one of the most fun and stylish small luxury SUVs. | |
