With the introduction of the Jaguar XE, we have entered a new&nbsp;market segment and made Jaguar more accessible to our customers while maintaining the&nbsp;premium and aspirational equity of the brand. This luxury sport saloon has been setting&nbsp;benchmarks in the industry since its launch and with the introduction of the Prestige&nbsp;derivative, we are confident of its continued popularity and success."<br><br>Under the skin, Jaguar XE Prestige remains unchanged and continues to be powered by the&nbsp;same 2.0L petrol engine. The petrol engine produces 197 BHP@5500 RPM and develops a peak torque of&nbsp;320 Nm@1750 RPM. Coupled to an 8-Speed automatic transmission as standard.
