Not only in order to be competitive, this model was also created in order to extend the volume of sales in the global market, as well as expand the scope of the consumer. The New Jaguar XE Sedan will also be a gamble, whether it’s a British producer able to compete in the most obese segment in the premium class or not. Therefore, JLR had a bad experience with previous models in the same segment, the X-Type that be stopped production a decade ago.

This type of car can be invited speeding 0-100 kph in 4.9 seconds, while top speed is limited to 249.4 kph.

iPad Generation

“With New Jaguar XE Sedan, they are really trying to create a fun sports car, as was done by previous Jaguar,” said Graham Searle, GM Jaguar Lovers Club in Bristol, England. Unlike the rival is more targeted at adult consumers, this new sedan is actually targeting for “iPad generation” or a term for young users who keep up with technology.

Jaguar new target markets are pampered with an interior that looks simple, smart, and still futuristic. This car can regulate the temperature of the room, and even start the engine with the phone via a special application. An available infotainment system with 8-inch touch screen that can be connected to various smart phone applications with the help of voice commands (voice control).
