2020 Jaguar XE Facelift
#21
I was confused, as i thought the limiter was 155mph, but makes sense with the tires. i have the 20" propellers with P Zero's on the XE S (380HP). tried to take to to the limit, but it seems the car stopped creating power at 197km/hr - i was only at 4000 RPM or so at that point. no tune, just stock

Again I completely agree the speed limiter is a bit of a bummer but this is probably based on the package included with the vehicle. For example the tires from the factory are only rated to to 121mph, so it makes sense from that standpoint. I've taken my car to the limit and the car wants more given its the same motor as the F-type. I went with the Velocity tune and now I dont have that limitation. It's a personal choice and you have to consider the drawbacks, however now I now feel that the car is properly at its best. You do have to consider the tires from the factory only rated 130mph. I love the tune for how I drive the vehicle and now the true power is unleashed. With a proper tune you will have to consider the proper tires for the unlocked speed. The tune makes all the difference if you are into that type of thing but I think Jag should have made this an option right out of the gate. Hello, Project 8 put a V8 into the same compartment as the V6 and everyone knows about the same block being modified.
So if it's performance you want, go with a tune, change the tires, and enjoy what this engine is meant to do. It's essentially a F-type with 4 doors, I know as I have friends with both the V6 and V8 models.

It doesn't really matter how safe a production car is, if you crash it at 120mph plus someone is going to get hurt. Maybe Jag is trying to keep the safety stats high. The XE was the safest production car when it first came out, from memory, although Jag didn't really push that as a factor to buy.

Can't wait to see pics once you'll take delivery, if you will want to post them. Do you organize a built to specs car at any Jaguar dealer? Just want to say thanks for supporting the marque. It's buyers like you that keep any make afloat.

Thanks! Actually having had the xe since 2015, when the pics came out of the new one it was pretty much as though Jag had read my wish list, so it was an easy decision. Especially when I am getting a lot more car for the money.
I just got my hands on the inclusions and pricing guide and worked from there. Then I checked it all on the configurator online. The packs are very cheap on the hse, so our new p300 is specced with sunroof, black pack, dynamic pack, tech pack, monogram finishers, surround sound, ionizer, all in firenze red and on venoms (I wanted propellers which would have been a cheap addition but my missus prefers the venoms).
Should be a great car. Our p300s are rwd not awd so maybe it will be a little quicker.
