What should I look for when buying a used Jaguar XE?

Across all model years, at 71.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2019 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: The standard package includes a reversing camera, a distracted-driver monitor, low-speed automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and front and rear parking sensors.
• Infotainment: Jaguar offers the latest version of its InControl Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, and the XE also gets Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA says it should get 25 mpg in combined driving, but the car returned 20.3 mpg on my testing loop.

Which Jaguar XE trim should I buy?

The 2020 Jaguar XE offers these trims:

• XE P250 S: This is the best-value choice, with a 247-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, an 8-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, and a starting price of $39,900.
• XE P300 R-Dynamic S: This more powerful trim adds a 296-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, AWD, paddle shifters, and a starting price of $46,295. It suits you if you want the stronger performance version.

What Jaguar XE do most buyers choose?

The Jaguar XE years with the most listings are 2018, 2017, and 2019.

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they usually give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right price, mileage, and condition combination. They also tend to be the years you see most often when browsing used listings.

What is the Jaguar XE's resale value?

The table shows that both model years have moved down in price, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. One year has seen a much sharper drop, while the other has changed only slightly, so the pricing picture is uneven across the lineup. The 2017 and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Jaguar XE safe?

• 2020: 6/10
• 2017: 8/10

The standard package includes a reversing camera, a distracted-driver monitor, low-speed automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and front and rear parking sensors.

For the safest used buy, the 2017 model posts the highest confirmed score of 8/10.

Should I buy a used Jaguar XE now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2018 model is at −10.71% versus a year ago, and the 2017 model is at −1.77%.
• Deal availability: The 2018 model has 25.1% good and great deals, and the 2017 model has 25.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2018 model has the most listings at a current average price of $14,073. The Jaguar XE offers a stylish, distinctive cabin and a sporty character that make it feel special every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: For 2020, Jaguar cancels the diesel 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, drops the XE’s 380-horsepower supercharged V6, and concludes its limited-production run of the 592-hp SV Project 8. That leaves a choice between a 247-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder (P250 S) and a 296-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder (P300 R-Dynamic S), each paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
• Tech: Jaguar offers the latest version of its InControl Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, and the XE’s available 12.3-inch digital instrumentation impresses.
• Safety: The standard package includes a reversing camera, a distracted-driver monitor, low-speed automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and front and rear parking sensors.
• Starting price: Most people are likely to choose the XE P250 S, which starts at $39,900.

If you're buying used today, the 2018 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2021 inventory to mature.
