Fatal crashes in the US
From 2020 to 2023, 25 XE vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 15 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

Real-world fuel consumption
1,152 Jaguar XE cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 9.5 l/100 km on the road, against 8.4 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 12% more.
| Fuel | Cars | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 481 | 9.5 | 8.4 | +12% |
| Diesel | 311 | 6.4 | 5.3 | +21% |
| Diesel hybrid | 360 | 6.4 | 5.4 | +20% |
Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.

What it costs in fuel
On real-world figures the petrol Jaguar XE uses 9.5 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 1,420 litres: £2,477 at this week's average price in United Kingdom, its largest market in Europe.

The TFT Instrument Cluster (digital speedometer) screen can go blank and reset intermittently. This may distract the driver and increase the risk of an accident.
The fuel return hose may leak. As a consequence fuel puddles may appear underneath the vehicle or fuel may leak onto the road surface, which can present a skid hazard.
The underfloor mounted diesel fuel cooler may leak which could lead to a fuel puddle which, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a vehicle fire.
The front seatbelt pre-tensioner may fail to operate when required, increasing the risk of injury to front seat occupants in the event of a crash.
