The Jaguar XE is set to hit NZ shores in the first half of next year.

The Jaguar XE is set to hit NZ shores in the first half of next year.

In a star-studded even at London's Earls Court, Jaguar have unveiled the latest car to join the lineup - the all new Jaguar XE.

The XE goes on sale here in the first half of 2015, with the high-performance S model generating 250kW and 450Nm of torque at the top of the range.

The high-revving 3L V6 engine is linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift controls. This helps to accelerate the XE to 0-100kph in just 4.9 seconds, the XE S has an electronically-limited maximum speed of 250kph.

A true driver's car, the rear-drive Jaguar XE redefines the concept of the sports saloon thanks to its advanced lightweight construction, streamlined styling, luxurious interior, and outstanding ride and handling.

The aluminium bodied Jaguar XE is the first model developed from Jaguar Land Rover's new modular vehicle architecture and has the goal to set a new standard for driving dynamics in the midsize segment. The long wheelbase and low seating position enable perfect proportions and a streamlined, coupe-like profile.

The S model's large front air intakes, chrome side vents, discreet rear spoiler and optional 20-inch forged alloy wheels hint at the performance potential of Jaguar's supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine.

The cabin offers outstanding levels of comfort and with plenty of interior space. Exquisite materials and finishes, combined with traditional Jaguar craftsmanship make this an interior like nothing else in the class.

The XE S will be joined by other models powered by highly efficient 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines matched to smooth-shifting six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic.

The XE is also the lightest, stiffest and most aerodynamic Jaguar saloon ever built. It is also the first Jaguar to be equipped with electric power steering, tuned to provide exceptional responsiveness and feel but with lower energy consumption than hydraulic systems.

Full details of the entire XE range will be announced at the Paris Motorshow in October.
