DRIVING TECHNOLOGY
ADVANCED DRIVING DYNAMICS
ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS
Whether you're accelerating on the motorway, cornering on country roads or
navigating around town, optional Adaptive Dynamics modifies XE's response to
match the conditions and your driving style. It analyses acceleration, cornering,
throttle and brake pedal activity, as well as kick-down activation. Steering
and body movement are also analysed up to 500 times a second. Using this
information, electronically controlled adaptive dampers then constantly adjust
to optimise the suspension settings and maintain XE's poise and comfort.
ELECTRIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING
XE's next generation Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) offers
outstanding feedback, control and immediate power assistance. It is active
on demand – saving power for when you really need it, as well as saving fuel.
Allowing sophisticated computer management to adapt the levels of steering
support, EPAS gives you fine control at speed and comprehensive assistance
during slow manoeuvring. It also enables advanced optional safety features
such as Lane Keep Assist and Park Assist.
NEXT GENERATION BRAKING
XE's next generation braking system is optimised for high performance and to save
weight. Air deflectors fitted to the front suspension efficiently channel air to cool the
brakes and reduce the risk of fade during enthusiastic driving. While new technology
in the pads reduces dust to improve refinement, increase disc life and maintain the
clean appearance of the wheels.
