Hello friends.
I'm buying a Jag XE, but are undecided on color. Blu fire or dark sapphire?
I would like to see real photos of the two colors, where can I find a link?

Thx

The two colors are very similar. The dark spphire metallic is just a shade or two darker than the blue fire. Have you looked on the configurator?

its hard to discern which blue XEs are which through a Google image search so I feel your pain.
Calling up local dealers to see what and when they'll have it is going to be a good thing to do. Seeing them in person is best.
I went by the dealer, but currently is only visible red.
I tried some real photos on google images and I found this...
I think the difference is this ....

Just noticing the lack of chrome on the window trim which is a great thing to see as it wouldn't have done the XE justice. But to look better with either the blue or red, I might have to tint the chrome fender badge.

This side profile shot shows it best:

So which color is the above picture? The two colors are very similar.
I think that one is the blue fire. The dark sapphire is just a shade or two lighter and maybe a bit more metallic. It really is impossible to really tell the difference until you see them in person. The two colors can change quite a bit depending on the lighting in each individual picture.
I thought both were the same things since one is indoors and with poor-ish lighting, then you have a panning shot out in bright day light.
Color pica and the XE have a difficult relation... for example the Ammounite Grey can be found on hundreds of picture on the net, but they seem like at least three different colors... even the brochures cannot help. I guess we have to wait till more demo's are in the showroom to compare.. or till or own cars are delivered :)

I saw live our JAG, dark sapphire. It is very beautiful and the blue is dark, but lights up a lot in the sunlight.
I think it is this...

Just have to call around or stop in to local dealers to get the heads up on when they'll arrive :D

Watching their social media pages could pay off, some might be quick to post about their first XE
