Our spies have captured several camouflaged prototypes testing in Coventry in the UK. We expect the XE facelift to be a 2020 model year and arrive around the middle of next year. As a reminder, the model is a 4-door small executive sedan that competes with the likes of BMW&#8217;s 3 Series and Audi&#8217;s A4.<\/p>\n<p>While it wasn&#8217;t as successful as Jaguar hoped, and subsequently led the company to stop looking into an even smaller compact car, it is still the entry-point into the Jaguar range. As a result, the model is being kept up to date with the latest technology. The XE was introduced in 2015, this mid-life refresh could open the way to a new design language from Jaguar.<\/p><div class=\"autoestrada-nel-contenuto autoestrada-entity-placement\" id=\"autoestrada-1153726244\" style=\"position: relative;padding: 30px;border: 2px solid red;margin: 25px auto 35px;text-align: center;width: fit-content;\"><div class=\"autoestrada-adlabel\">Advertising<\/div><div id=\"autoestrada-3421401185\"><!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/impfr.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(25346028)a(2263928)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\r\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=289682&a=2263928&g=25346028\" target=\"_BLANK\"><img src=\"'+uri+'\" border=0><\\\/a>');\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com --><\/div><\/div>\n<p>While the two different version snapped on camera are quite heavily camouflaged, we don&#8217;t expect to see any major changes. The LED headlights are sure to get a few tweaks, as should the bumpers and grille. Jaguar might also update its infotainment systems, which have been the subject of criticism in many reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the so-called soft parts of the car won&#8217;t make much of a difference, but new engine technology will. We believe the XE will receive mild-hybrid technology of both the 12 and 48-volt variety. While also providing more seamless transitions in stop-and-go traffic, the ISG should also reduce fuel consumption by a few percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>Jaguar will continue to offer the car with a choice of rear- and all-wheel drive. The supercharged V6 was removed from the range this year and isn&#8217;t likely to make a comeback. And while the company is said to be developing new inline-6 Ingenium engines, there&#8217;s no guarantee they will fit.<\/p>\n<p>Given the success of SUVs like the F-Pace, we doubt there&#8217;s going to be another generation of the XE, so these could be the last updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The XE was the first all-new Jaguar sedan of this generation, so it&#8217;s getting a refresh before its big brother, the XF.
