Jaguar vs. Leopard: Jaguar XE Versus The Big Cat

April 14th, 2018 by
2018 Jaguar XE
Leopard

Shopping for a Jaguar XE or leopard for your I-10 cruise? Look no further than the Jaguar XE. The Jaguar XE outperforms the leopard in these key commuter areas:

  • Top speed
    • Jaguar XE = 120 MPH
    • Leopard = 36 MPH
  • Comfort
    • Jaguar XE = Seats five
    • Leopard = Seats one with a saddle
  • Safety
    • Jaguar XE = AWD, Torque Vectoring, and Adaptive Surface Response
    • Leopard = Protection against predators, but no seatbelts
  • Efficiency
    • Jaguar XE = 28 combined MPG
    • Leopard = No gas. Fueled by gazelles, impalas, and deer – you’re better off finding a gas station.

Speed

When trying to get to work in Manhattan Beach, or simply enjoying a leisurely drive to your favorite sushi spot, you want to make sure your ride can go fast. The Jaguar XE provides drivers a top speed of 120 MPH with its 2.0L 247 HP turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. A leopard, on the other hand, can only go 36 MPH. The leopard doesn’t even have an engine.

Comfort

When thinking about getting a new ride, comfort is a crucial concern to Venice drivers. With a Jaguar, you get five leather seats, Jaguar InControl® technology, and more. Plus, you can seat passengers in your travels. With a leopard – if you are able to throw a saddle on it – you can take one person somewhere slowly. It’s clear: the Jaguar XE is the winner.

Safety

The Jaguar XE provides walls, doors, airbags, seatbelts, headlights, at the most basic level. The leopard is a wild animal; you won’t even get seatbelts. The Jaguar XE provides premium safety features. The leopard? No way.

Efficiency

The leopard’s lack of engine, no doubt, calls its efficiency into question. The Jaguar XE, however, gets a solid 28 combined MPG. The Leopard needs fuel from gazelles, impalas, or deer, all of which can be hard to spot – or fairly expensive – in busy Santa Monica.

Look No Further than the Jaguar XE

The Jaguar XE is a good choice when considering your next luxury car. It not only beats out the leopard, but the Lexus IS, as well. Explore more Jaguar trivia, and then get your Jaguar XE at Jaguar Santa Monica today!

I was very, very sorry to see Rus leave. He was beyond exceptional for me. I have owned the car for five years and every sales person that had worked with me was the very poorest. I brought my car in for service for the third time within about a month and found out Russ was gone and was assigned to John. John was exceptional with me. Everything went smooth and he really did an excellent job and every way shape and form. I was very excited to work with john and had a very good experience Abigail.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Land Rover of Santa Monica. They made purchasing my vehicle an enjoyable experience after dealing with a couple of other dealerships that didn’t even bother to call back Or tried to upsell me on everything on a car I didn’t even want. Ali my sales advisor found the exact car I had been looking for and Made me a deal that I couldn’t resist and I’m so excited to have the dream car I’ve been wanting.

My advisor is very nice and helpful, but I think he works under pressure to produce. He told me to bring my preowned certified car in with any issues while under warranty to be looked at to make sure any issues are resolved before the warranty expires. I guess it’s a gentle and profitable way for the dealership to get business. Taking him up on the offer, when I experienced an unusual crackling noise while accelerating, I took the car in to be looked at under warranty. It turned out to be nothing that required repair.

I actually went to other dealers as at first, they didn't have the model I wanted. I literally had to wait close to a half hour just to have someone attend to me., Then I got a call from Jaquelyn Lorenzana ((Jaqui), and what I wanted was in. There was NEVER any pressure sales and only support. I highly recommend this dealership and Jaqui should get a raise!!!
