Jaguar XE - 2017 in The Driver’s Seat with Adam Ferrara | JaguarUSA

XE S comes from the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 used throughout the Jaguar range. It excels in delivering its power, and it’s instantaneous, seamless, and strong  Given its 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Zero-to-60-mph run near the head of the pack at 4.7 secs. Since it’s likely an impossible task, ZF eight-speed automatic—also used by BMW and Audi—is another reminder that no automaker should waste the time or money trying to develop something quicker, smoother, or smarter.

The V-6 engine is neither as honeyed nor as musical as the Audi S4’s engine of similar configuration, displacement, but even if the Jag engine doesn’t achieve the same level of polish. Variation of the six-cylinder F-type’s rasp, the supercharger is barely audible and the engine plays a subtler.

Car enthusiast Adam Ferrara gets behind the wheel for a first-hand experience of the all-new Jaguar XE, coming to the US in 2016.
