I am not a fan of the car but that did not stop me. In British Racing Green and tan interior of course.












I would certainly like a leaper on the bonnet given my penchant for a sense of continuity and the such. It's a nice car, but and inadequate Jaguar for me.

 

Nice. I like the BRG, and the darker red, whatever that was called.

I really liked the the two toned jet/oyster leather interior of the XE-S. It's black where your butt and back go, and oyster everywhere else.

The XE-R Sport has inverted colors for the two-toned interior, which I did not care for quite so much. Your back and butt would hide the color, exposing only the black.

Personal taste, of course.

I wonder if they'll keep that color scheme once the car is ready for the US market.

 

I know things can change between now and the launch, but I was hoping to see London Tan for the interior.

 

Bellanca, worst case, once you get the car, take it to an upholstery shop and I am sure they can make just about anything you could want.

I played around with designing "my XE". I guess I got stuck on the Ultimate Black Metallic with the black package. Then had to do some blue interior highlights. If I got the car, some of the blue would most likely end up coming outside to give a little accent here and there.

 

Thermo, I can't justify buying a brand new car and then having to take it to a shop to get the interior color I want. I don't mind the other options, was just hoping for the London Tan or even a saddle color.

 

Bellanca, it is all a matter of how bad do you want something. For me, I normally am after things that I can fabricate myself. So, the costs are very little in most cases. But, for something like upholstery, unless you have a heavy duty sewing machine and some sewing ability, it may get pricey. Fortunately for me, having done a boat interior before, this would possibly be something that I would take on, but I would need a little bit of liquid courage though too. LMAO.

 

Not that badly lol. Anyway, on the UK site they have the option of Sienna Tan, I could get behind that.

 

I noticed that the XE was available in a bigger variety of colours (18) compared with the XF (14) and XJ (12). Is this because it's a new model, and the choice will be restricted later on? Or that being the likely top seller, they can afford to include some less popular colours?

 

Centroid, odds are, they are going to offer it with a few more color options as this is intended to be a high volume car (relatively speaking in Jaguar terms). So, they are looking to both interest people with a few new colors, but also not to make it so you are "forced" to choose between 2 colors that you may not necessarily want.
