Default X Type replacement the XE

The first official picture of the XE has been released. Scroll down to 12.23 on the feed.

I like it.

The front looks better than I expected. Funny, just as I like design of the X-Type more than the S-Type, so far I like the look of the XE more than the XF. The grille is shaped better, though I do feel that the headlights are pretty Audi.

I agree about the lights but I don't mind that at the front but I hope the rear lights don't look like an Audi. Some of their led rear light clusters look horrible.

Love, love, love it. Love it. Can't wait to see specs, trim, and availability here in the US. Thanks for sharing!

Yawn. More of the same I the front. Hopefully there will be a surprise from another angle. Can't believe folks like these cars that look like they all came from the same German factory

I have no problem with more of the same when it comes to the face, at least Jaguar differentiates the XF and XJ everywhere else, I can't wait to see the rest!!

From what they've decided to show us, I love it! Can't wait to see more. I already added myself to the email list on the Jaguar website

Hate to agree with some other posters above, but it does look like another Kia/BMW/Audi/MB/Hyundai. But, on the other hand, it seems to be a common trend these days, so we have to live with that.

Give it AWD with reliable(!) components, a Supercharged 3.0 V6 and call it the XE-R and then we'll talk.

P.S. Already can see some name related issues in Russian speaking countries. "XER" in Russian means "a dick".

Nothing from what we've seen says Hyundai to me, that's a bit absurd sounding, I see XF when I look at it, and when I look at my car Hyundai and Kia do not come to mind. And this will have the 3.0, as for what output that remains unknown.

It looks cool to me. Hopefully it's not just a station wagon. I agree, they need to make a supercharged or turbo one though. I like the look of it. To me, I like all the led running lights and that stuff. I don't care if Audi had them first, all newer cars are going to have led lights and running lights just make sense for safety. I think it has a nice Jaguar look to it though.

It looks like a Lexus.

Please, don't take anything personally. The XF is a great looking car, no questions about it, but the truth is one has to be really close to it and verify the badges to be sure it's a Jaguar and not a some sort of Korean wanna be premium.

All modern Jags look good, but so do most new cars. And unfortunately now Jags are just some other cars on the road (except for the F-type).
I can spot an old XJ6 or even an unusually looking S-type from a mile away, but I can't do the same with the XF. And to my knowledge, there are many other people who have the same problem.
