Helping to fill the newsless void between first debuting the new XE sports sedan (last year) and actually putting the four-door on sale here in the U.S. (sometime next year), Jaguar has released the XE’s pricing details. We still don’t know anything about the base XE 25t’s turbocharged 2.0-liter four beyond its membership in Jaguar’s new Ingenium engine family, nor do we have final U.S. specifications for the XE 20d’s turbocharged 2.0-liter diesel that springs from the same Ingenium roots. Happily, we do know the XE S’s supercharged V-6 will pump out 340 horsepower—also, we tested one. This is how the 2017 XE lineup will break down, price-wise:
–
XE 25t: The entry-level XE will start at $35,895; that’s nearly $1000 less than the 2016 Audi A4 (although that car will be new for ’17) and $3980 less than the least-expensive 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-class. BMW offers the low-power, value-leader 320i for $34,145 and Cadillac has the $34,210 ATS 2.5, but the 328i and ATS 2.0T (both with turbo fours making power commensurate with what we think the Jag will have) ring in $3450 and $345 more. Unless the XE comes standard with milk crates for seats, crank windows, and an AM-only radio, its base pricing is unquestionably aggressive.
–
XE 20d: Jaguar’s diesel-powered XE won’t be much more expensive than the 25t model, starting at $37,395. Once again, Jaguar undercuts BMW, whose least-expensive 328d diesel sedan costs $40,845; in the BMW’s defense, Jaguar doesn’t have a diesel-powered XE wagon to go up against the 328d Sports Wagon—yet. So far, we expect the XE 20d to arrive with 180 horsepower and 318 lb-ft of torque, but those are European-market figures and could change for American duty.

XE 35t: Sitting at the top of the range is the $42,695 XE 35t, which uses a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 making 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. (Here’s another link our test of this model.) Again, that price compares favorably to the six-cylinder offerings from Audi, BMW, Cadillac, and Mercedes-Benz. BMW charges $4100 more for its 320-hp 340i; Audi’s 333-hp S4 rings in at $50,125; and the 369-hp Mercedes C450 commands $51,725. The Jag is barely more than its only naturally aspirated competitor, the $42,335 ATS 3.6.

Full XE pricing, standard features, and other specifics are forthcoming, but the early returns seem positive.
