New Jaguar XE Reims Edition Launched

New Jaguar XE Reims Edition Launched

Back in May 2019, the Jaguar XE underwent a significant refresh and now incorporates a bold new appearance and new options and upgrades. To celebrate the success of the new Jaguar XE compact luxury saloon, Jaguar has commissioned a limited run of “Reims” special editions that incorporates features not found on any standard model.

Reims - A Race-inspired Special Edition

Reims is the first in a series of special editions to come from Jaguar. The name pays homage to a former racing circuit in France that bears the same name, and plays an important role in Jaguar’s racing history.

Back in 1954, two racing drivers named Ken Wharton and Peter Whitehead secured victory for Jaguar by winning a 12-hour endurance race in a Jaguar D-Type. The pair averaged 105 mph during a race distance that spanned over 1,254 miles.

The Jaguar XE Reims Edition - A Performance Powerhouse

Given that the name adorning this special edition is race-inspired, it’s only fitting that it comes with a powerful engine under the bonnet. The special edition comes with the 2.0 litre P250 “Ingenium” engine, propelling the car from 0-62 mph in a mere 6.2 seconds. Boasting a top speed of 155 mph, this rear-wheel-drive powerhouse delivers the performance you need in a refined manner.

A Unique Exterior Seen on no Other Jaguar XE

When you first approach the Jaguar XE Reims Edition, you will notice one thing: it looks somewhat different from other XEs. The colour, for example, is French Racing Blue and found only on two other special edition Jaguars: the limited run XKR-S and XFR-S models.

Glancing upward at the roof of the Jaguar XE Reims Edition, you can’t help but notice the distinctive black contrast roof. Black accents can also be found on the mirror caps and sill inserts, resulting in a dynamic and sporting look to this special edition XE. The car is sat on four 19-inch five-spoke split alloy wheels, finished in a gloss black colour. All those black-themed items make up the Exterior Black Pack which comes as standard on the Jaguar XE Reims Edition.

Interior Features That Boast Comfort & Convenience

As you make your way inside of the Jaguar XE Reims Edition, luxury, comfort, and a vast array of technology await you. This special edition XE has many standard items only available as options on the XE R-Dynamic S spec.

For example, heated seats will help to keep yourself and passengers warm during the winter months. The “Cold Climate Pack” also boasts a heated front windscreen, heated steering wheel, and a headlight power wash system.

How to Get Your Hands on a Jaguar XE Reims Edition

As you can appreciate, the Jaguar XE Reims Edition will only be available in limited numbers. You can find out more about this special edition at your local Sinclair Jaguar dealership in Swansea.

The Jaguar XE Reims Edition is available to purchase from January 2020 and costs £38,295.

With the Jaguar XE Reims Edition, you get an epitome of compact luxury and race-inspired performance.

After a noteworthy revamp in May 2019, the Jaguar XE's bold aesthetics and remarkable enhancements have swiftly gained traction among auto enthusiasts worldwide.

The brand is now celebrating the success of this compact luxury sedan with a one-of-a-kind, limited-run 'Reims' special edition, designed with unique features and upgrades that go beyond the standard model.

Get ready to delve into the exclusive world of the Jaguar XE Reims Edition - a tribute to Jaguar’s illustrious racing history, an embodiment of high-performance power, and a testament to unique aesthetic grandeur.

Reims: The Race-Inspired Special Edition with a Historic Connection

Reims is the first in a series of special editions from Jaguar. The name pays homage to a former racing circuit in France that bears the same name and plays an important role in Jaguar’s racing history.

What is it like to drive?

Imagine stepping up to the Jaguar XE Reims Edition for the first time. As your eyes take in the striking French Racing Blue colour - a hue reminiscent of past victories and seen only on two other special edition Jaguars - a wave of exhilaration washes over you.

This isn't just any XE; it's a piece of history, a testament to Jaguar's racing triumphs. The distinctive black contrast roof, mirror caps, and sill inserts lend a dynamic, sporting look that seems to hint at the power contained within.

As you slide behind the wheel, the roar of the 2.0 litre P250 Ingenium engine awakens a sense of anticipation. It's not just the prospect of accelerating from 0-62 mph in a mere 6.2 seconds that thrills you; it's the promise of the journey, the open road, the refined power at your fingertips.

What is the interior like?

Inside, the Reims Edition envelopes you in luxury, with heated seats warming you against the chill of winter and an array of technology at your fingertips.

The quiet hum of the engine reassures you that this isn't just a car; it's an experience, a key to a world of comfort, convenience and unparalleled performance.
