Jaguar shows off its new XE model at the New York International Auto Show.
Jaguar Land Rover is showing off the 2020 Jaguar XE as well as the limited edition 2020 Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic at the NYIAS. Designed and developed by Land Rover’s Special Operations unit, the new Velar Ranger Rover SVAutobiography extends the model’s performance and luxury.
The SVAutobiography Dynamic, with 550 horsepower, is the most powerful Velar that JLR has ever produced and is making its North American debut as is the new Jaguar XE.
The newest version of the XE expands on the proportions of original design, taking the car’s sporting intent to a new level with more contemporary styling cues drawn from the Jaguar F-Type. The new XE appears wider and lower with larger front apertures and a more muscular design that hints at the car’s impressive performance and advanced aerodynamics.
On the inside the 2020 Jaguar XE features an all-new inner door design that improves usability. The new interior also features extensive use of soft-touch material as well as more convenience and comfort as well as additional storage. The premium feel of the interior is advanced by the introduction of the optional dual touch screen similar to the one found in the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace.
