Designed around Jaguar's modular vehicle architecture, the Jaguar XE is the only car in its class to use an aluminium intensive monocoque, with lightweight aluminium accounting for 75 percent of the structure.
Also, the XE is the first car in the world to utilise a new grade of high strength aluminium - dubbed RC 5754 - which has been developed specifically for the XE. This new alloy features a high level of recycled material and makes a significant contribution to Jaguar's goal of using 75 percent recycled material by 2020.
The XE's aluminium intensive body delivers exceptional torsional stiffness. The light but strong architecture incorporates highly advanced suspension systems delivering unparalleled levels of ride quality, handling and steering.
This milestone in body engineering, a product of Jaguar's leading expertise in high-volume production of aluminium vehicles, ensures that the Jaguar XE combines design with benchmark levels of ride and handling. Lightweight construction is a core element of Jaguar's DNA and the automaker is at the cutting edge of aluminium technology within the industry.
Designed and engineered in the U.K., the XE will be the first Jaguar to be manufactured at a new purpose built production facility at the company's Solihull plant. The world premiere of the new Jaguar XE will be held in London on the 8th of September.
