Autoexpress posted up this review of the new XE 300 awhile back and I just wanted to share it here. They seemed to think it falls a little short of being a true M3 rival, hoping that we'll see a faster 400bhp model down the line. But imo Jaguar has positioned this to be a cheaper, and equally refined alternative to an M or AMG badged car. Have a look at the full in depth review here.

What a lame review.. There is a halo XE it's called the XE SVR out this year for $100K with 500 plus bhp... or the already been available for a YEAR XE-S with 380hp.. Autoexpress ought to do their homework

I would have to agree. With SVR variants coming soon and the newly showcased Project 8, those are going to be the go to models for anyone looking for more performance. Word is that even the XF Sportbrake could be getting SVO treatment.

i hope they have plans to launch parts we can buy even if its just simple features like SVO vent visors. seen it done with cheaper vehicles, like Civic's with Mugen accessories.

it will help in even getting regular non-enthusiasts to rock the SVO brand.

I would love to see some genuine OEM SVO branded accessories. If Jaguar doesn't realize this opportunity, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing them from third parties. Who wouldn't want to make their XE look more like the Project 8?
