Even though it's not the best-known Jaguar, the XE is offering a plethora of engines for 2018. There are three turbo 2.0L engines developing 247, 296 and 180 horsepower, the latter running on diesel. There’s also a 380-horsepower, supercharged 3.0L V6 engine. The spectacular and rare SV Project 8 with its supercharged 5.0L V8 is really turning heads. It helps the Jaguar XE better hold its own against cars like the BMW 3 Series and Cadillac ATS.
