IT’S been a struggle - a strug­ gle going on for some three decades - but it looks like Jag­ uar might at last have come up with something capable of taking on the seried ranks of Johnny Boch. For too long the Germans


have held sway in the battle for sales in the premium sector. And rightlyso. You can’t argue against the quality of the cars Audi, Mercedes and BMW line up foryourapproval. But now they’ve got a bit


of opposition from a car built here in the UK and spouting Land of Hope and Glory from its shiny exhaust pipes. Now, when they look in


their mirrors, they’re going to see the proud and distinc­ tive front end of the new Jag­ uar XE coming up behind to


join in the race - the trade­ mark grille with the Jaguar’s head leering at you as you dare impede its progress. All mesh and chrome and headlights. Progress that is, even in-


this 2.p diesel engined mod­ el, reasonably swift. There are some who would


mischieviously liken it to a bloated Mondeo, probably because of Jaguar’s latter-day links to the Ford empire and the fact that, from the back, it can to some eyes bear a pass­ ing resemblance to the staple diet of the motorway rep. In profile it almost has the


looks of a coupe, a very neat coupe, but of course it’s not. And there aren’t many cou­ pes I can think of that will carry five adults in leather- cosseted luxury. The best thing for me is


the superb driving position. Knowing how many packag­ ing hurdles designers have to negotiate, I can hardly be­ lieve how tailored it is: perfect seat shape and position, ideal control layout and instrument view. The body shell is stiff, the


engine operates smoothly enough and what they call acoustic management (sound deadening to you and me) is exceptional. There’s not even a hand-


brake to clutter it up either - that’s electronic and operated by a switch. I love the way the dash cuts


into the doors, so the air from the side vents sweeps round


p i


which quickly went out of fashion. The XE has a lot more go­


ing for it. It handles really well, dartingintobendsandstaying @ flat and composed through all manneroftwistsandturns.lt also grips well, and the steer­ ing has asharp and precisefeel. Rear-seatspaceisn’treally £

and into the cabin. The interi­ or exudes class, and they used to say you can’t buy that. Well let me tell you you can. And it’ll cost you £32,325. To an extent, we’ve been


down this road before, with the X-Type, which had similar hopes pinned on it for sales success. But that didn’t work because in essence it was a Mondeo with a different coat


that generous, and you won’t * * be bragging in the local about the performance ofthei6ibhp diesel engine, although there are other units available. R- Sport versions.like the one sampled here have what I’d • sum up as a fairly firm ride. The boot looks a decent


.


size, and actually is, but the- bootlid isn’t that big because of the downward sweep of the rear window, so loading it up requires some precision. In years to come no one is ^


going to go all dewey eyed and recall their time behind the wheel of an XE - that’s what theF-Typeisfor. But it could be remem­


bered as the car that finally proved the Brits could hold their own in the premium sector.
