"It's about paring it down to the bare essentials. Good designers have always said less is more."
Ian Callum, Jaguar Design Director.
XE stands out from the competition with the clean surfaces and dynamic looks that form the core
of Jaguar design. This is because XE's Lightweight Aluminium Architecture gave its designers
the freedom to work alongside engineers to optimise the car's proportions – XE is unmistakably
a Jaguar. The long, distinctly defined bonnet is aerodynamically sculpted to channel air over and
around the body for greater efficiency. Along with the rising waistline and 'cab rearward' design,
it ensures that XE shares the athleticism of the other cars in the Jaguar range. XE is crouching,
ready to pounce.
