Jaguar XE
Jaguar finally has a rival for the BMW 3 Series and the new XE is the car tasked with tackling the German saloon.
The svelte new aluminium body is light and stiff, helping ensure the XE is as fun to drive as it will be efficient.
The XE will be the first Jaguar available with a range of new petrol and diesel engines, while new manual and automatic gearboxes are also offered to buyers.
At the top of the range sits the XE S, which uses the same 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine as the sporty F-Type.
