Hi all,

I just noticed that some websites are rumoring an electric power train for the XE, just because they spotted a car with an Blue E badge...

See the CarScoops.com website...

But I think they're wrong (for now). Its just the E-performance badge, as shown in the XE car configurator on the Jaguar site (configure a 163ps version and watch its tail...). See the attached thumbnail below.

So, for now, no news about any Hybrid/Electric XE.

Jaguar XE Spied Testing with Electric Drivetrain

Jaguar seems to be preparing an electrified version of its XE sedan. Autiguide spy photographers spotted an XE testing wearing a round blue badge with the letter "E" on it.

Given that blue tends to denote electric vehicles, and the letter "E" does as well, this points towards a XE EV. Not sure whether its a full electric version or a hybrid at this point though.

Rumors have been swirling that the F-Pace would be the brand's first EV model, but this spy shot is one reason to question that rumor.

Touché,

You might be right about that one.

I merged your post and pics into this thread.

At least as an EV they kept it simple, no noticable EV things going on aside from the badge.

Did you read the OP? I think this isn't an EV.
