Default The XE preview party

Talk about an overwhelmingly positive reaction the public had when first viewing me taxi up close. Some of the comments were "wow" followed by "absolutely gorgeous" and then "it's much larger than we expected."

I took some measurements of the XE against last year's XF. The interior space is pretty surprising. Sitting were I'd drive in both, I measured the distance from my knee to the steering column and then from my knee to the front seat back.

Both seemed so close that I think a current XF owner would find the XE to be more than large enough.

I ordered the XE sport here in Canada, back in late February and was told not to expect it before June. As well, although I may just pay cash, I was curious of the leasing or finance rates and was told this has not announced yet.
It appears that you are now receiving the XE's in the USA and I was wondered if you had any info. around lease or finance rates?

Not yet Lawerence. We still have some time before from receiving them. No word yet on leasing rates/programs for the XE or F Pace but look at where a BMW 3 Series lease advertises to see where Jaguar wants to go with the XE.

Ok thanks.. I'll post here once I receive my deliver times and the finance/lease info.. for comparison. At this point they told me the car will be in for June, but I believe this is definitely an estimate.

They will not bring the 'S' model seen in above photos to the US, nor would they bring the Portfolio model with higher quality interior.
We are only good enough to get the junky looking interior with the cheap grain leather..............

True, but aside from the suede cloth seats it's almost exactly like the U.S. spec R-Sport. This S had the same 340 hp tune ours will have.
