Buying Tips for 2021 Jaguar XE

  • Check the infotainment screen for "ghost touching" or blanking out.
  • Listen for a "creaking" sound from the rear suspension over speed bumps—common on earlier cars.
  • Prioritize 2019+ (facelift) models for a much-improved interior and the better Pivi Pro infotainment.
