Reviews SummaryBMW invented the category. Everyone else has tried it. The compact luxury sedan is typically what hooks people to or steers them away from a car brand. Jaguar, after the X-Type between 2001 and 2008, had most shoppers looking in other directions. The 2017 XE is out to rebuild Jaguar’s image in this relatively inexpensive, highly competitive segment. | |
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. | |
