<span>Jaguar's XE 2020 model has had its first major upgrade since </span><span>its 2014 launch. </span><span>Designers have given the shell of what's been </span><span>described as the marque's most affordable model a more aggressive air, </span><span>apparently inspired by </span><span>another Jaguar</span><span> vehicle: the F-Type</span><span>. </span> <span>The XE is now wider and lower</span><span>, with Jaguar embracing what it calls "muscular forms </span><span>alluding to the car's performance and advanced aerodynamics". The changes on the outside aren't extensive, but they'll make the 2020 model </span><span>stand out from its previous incarnation. The upgrade has new LED lights with a </span><span>"J</span><span>" night-time signature, a redesigned rear bumper and, if </span><span>customers opt for the jazzed-up R-Dynamic stylings, dark mesh detailing and new wheels.</span> <span>It gets a bit more </span><span><em>Star Trek</em></span><span>-worthy on the inside, though, with the F-Type's SportShift gear selector and the JaguarDrive control switch</span><span>. The interior </span><span>has </span><span>soft-touch materials, veneers and door trims, and a new steering wheel.</span> <span>The new XE also claims to be the smartest and most connected yet</span><span>, with Jaguar's Touch Pro Duo infotainment system</span><span> </span><span>available for the first time, as </span><span>well as wireless device charging. </span><span>Its entry-level specs feature</span><span> an automatic transmission, </span><span>electric leather seats, LED </span><span>lights, a parking aid, rear camera and lane-keep assist.</span> <span>Engine options remain the same, with the 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol and diesel engines </span><span>offering power ranging between 247bhp and 296bhp, </span><span>while the 2.0-litre diesel </span><span>offers 178bhp</span><span>. The standard model will do 0-100kph in 5.7 seconds, but the R-Dynamic variant comes with all-wheel drive and </span><span>can do it in 5.4 seconds.</span> <span>All models will be available as of June 2019.</span> <span>Prices in the UAE will range from Dh197,295 for the base model, up to 254,520 for the R-Dynamic HSE</span><span>. Can you handle it?</span>
