You Can Now Buy A Supercharged V6 Jaguar XE S For Under £25k

Jaguar may not be making an XE SVR, but the V6 version is particularly tempting on the used market
You Can Now Buy A Supercharged V6 Jaguar XE S For Under £25k

As we explained a few weeks back, thanks to the desires of luxury performance car buyers, SVR versions of the Jaguar XE and XF just aren’t going to happen.

Jaguar is a much smaller company than its German rivals (to put things in context, the Mercedes A-Class on its own outsold the entire Jaguar brand in the UK last year), and it can’t make a hot version of everything. People love fast SUVs right now, so an F-Pace SVR it is.

But for those sad about the lack of V8-powered XE, it’s not all bad news: the XE S - which will be the fastest version for the foreseeable future - is still a fine car, and a quick one. We ran one as a longtermer a while back, and found it to be the most convincing car in the range. What’s more, the earliest examples have been thoroughly thumped with the depreciation stick, meaning you can now buy a used one for well under £25k.

This 2015 example is a little over that figure at £26,888, but it has the perfect exterior spec: Italian Racing Red paint, 20-inch ‘Propeller’ alloy wheels, and the ‘black pack’. It’s a good look, no?

The two-tone red/black leather interior won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but I’m sure we can all approve of what’s under the bonnet: a 3.0-litre supercharged V6. Since this is a pre-update car it makes do with 335bhp as opposed to 375bhp, but it’s still quick: 0-62mph happens in just 5.1 seconds.

Would you have one of these over a used BMW 335i or 340i?

Why buy that when you can have a face-lifted XFR for the same price?

I just love that there are cars that are being recognized as fast, without some 500L V8 (not referring to Jaguar only, but in general). I mean, 3.0L V6, Supercharged, 335 hp is plenty out in the real world. And also it means that you can get very close to the car’s limits and engage more in the driving, than driving with the constant fear ,,is that tree to close?”.
