There’s a load of fun to be had at the wheel of the most affordable British saloon in India
IF YOU WERE IN THE MARKET for a classy saloon car for about `35-40 lakh, then what would your choices be? You could of course take the Mercedes-Benz C-Class if you wanted something nice and cushy. Or, if you were the thrill seeker then you’d head to a BMW showroom for the 3 Series. The fence sitter would head to a showroom with four rings for a compromise. But you want something different from the pack. That’s where Jaguar’s XE drives in with its uniquely British flavour.
The XE is the gateway to the world of the leaping cat and starting at `36.61 lakh for the base Pure trim, 4Ì€0.54 lakh for the Prestige trim we tested, isn’t exactly expensive. In fact, it is the most affordable premium saloon you can buy in the country today. Which puts it at a numerical advantage in our price conscious country right at the onset.
