Used 2020 Jaguar XE Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Jaguar XE is a five-seat, four-door compact luxury sedan, and it comes in two trim levels. The S model is well-equipped with a modern infotainment system and power leather seats. Although rear-wheel drive is standard, the S can also be equipped with all-wheel drive. For more power, choose the R-Dynamic S. Available only in all-wheel drive, the R-Dynamic S has more power and unique interior and exterior pieces.

The Jaguar XE S comes with a turbocharged engine (Jag calls it the P250) that produces 247 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque and sends power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Optionally, you can equip the S with an all-wheel-drive system that still retains the XE's rear-drive sporty nature by keeping the torque distribution to the rear until it's needed.

Standard feature highlights for the S include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, power-adjustable seats and leather upholstery. Standard safety features are front collision mitigation, lane keeping assist, and front and rear parking sensors.

Opt for the XE R-Dynamic S and you'll get a more powerful engine (the P300) that puts out 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. It uses the same eight-speed automatic transmission as the S, and all-wheel drive is standard. Other changes include larger brakes, sport seats, different front and rear fascias, and unique trim parts to distinguish the two models.

Both models feature a myriad of options, in packages and stand-alone. The Drive Pack, for example, has adaptive cruise control, high-speed emergency braking and blind-spot warning, while a Technology Pack includes a rearview mirror camera, dual-touchscreen displays, wireless phone charging pad, a head-up display, and a digital gauge cluster display. Some notable stand-alone options include a premium audio system and even some assist features such as a surround-view camera and blind-spot assist. The R-Dynamic S can also be upgraded with adaptive suspension dampers.

Which XE trim does Edmunds recommend?

To make the most of the XE experience, we think the R-Dynamic S is the one to go with. In addition to its more satisfying engine power, it adds larger brakes, unique wheels, and more aggressive exterior and interior body and trim parts. Even the seats are upgraded with more upper-body bolstering and contrast stitching.
