Jaguar XE Performance Overview

Jaguar’s compact sport sedan ran in this dataset from 2017 to 2020, covered here by 16 independently verified tests of the X760 generation. Over that span, the XE combined turbocharged gasoline and diesel fours with supercharged V6 and V8 power, ranging from 180 to 592 hp. Early results showed the breadth of the lineup: the 2017 20d Prestige Sedan needed 8.8 seconds to reach 60 mph, while the 2017 35t R-Sport Sedan cut that to 4.5 seconds, establishing the first clear performance benchmark.

As the range filled out, midpack gasoline models settled into the five-second zone, including the 2017 25t R-Sport Sedan at 6.2 seconds and the 2020 P300 R-Dynamic S Sedan at 5.2. At the top end, Jaguar shifted from the supercharged V6 S and 35t variants to the AJ133-powered SV Project 8, which reset the XE’s ceiling in 2019. The standard 2019 SV Project 8 Sedan reached 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and ran the quarter-mile in 11.4 seconds at 122 mph.

That leaves the X760 XE, as tested here, defined by unusually wide performance spread for a single generation: from efficient diesel sedans to the 592-hp SV Project 8, with today’s standing led by that 2019 benchmark.
