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!

Ara is an amazing salesman and made the entire process quick and effortless. He responded to my inquiry right away and reserved the exact car I wanted, making sure it was pristine and ready to drive once I got onto the lot. I am new to leasing, and he was able to walk me through the process very thoroughly and made it easy to understand. I will be recommending him to everyone I know and I suggest asking for him when booking an appointment. Thank you so much for helping me get my dream car!!

For style, efficiency and price, my Jaguar SUV can't be beat! Kenny, in the Santa Monica dealership was the most expert and careful dealer representative I have ever worked with -- and I've bought many cars and been to many dealerships, Kenny is kind, welcoming, smart, knowledgeable, relaxed and direct. That's what made the experience so easy. No surprises. I've now had my Jag for a few weeks and it's safe, powerful, and fun to drive. And Kenny has followed up to see if I have any more questions or if I want to go ...

They always check my car before and after all the services just to make sure that everything is always perfect and this sets them apart versus the other dealers.

I have received excellent service here numerous times. Most recently, Jorge (service manager) saved the day, late on a Saturday just before the shop was closed. He had the mechanics fix something that was desperately needed for a road trip. He went above and beyond and I am immensely grateful. Chris Bowman (lead mechanic) is a rock star. Nicest guy, super professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend these guys.

The trade-in and purchase of new Range Rover at Jaguar Land Rover Santa Monica was effortless and stress free! I appreciate especially how well organized, and honestly “friendly” the professionals were, while going through the process. Besides trade-in negotiation, credit check, and the overall lengthy process of purchasing and signing for a new vehicle, even teaching my wife clearly how to connect to and use her new Rover- I felt(we felt) that this was one of the most enjoyable, friendly and seamless transactions we’ve been through while purchasing a new car.
