Auto expert Zinoviev listed 8 reasons not to buy a used Jaguar XE sedan

The main problems are related to power units, unreliable electronics and the high cost of spare parts.

2.0 petrol engines from the Ecoboost family can present surprises in the form of failure of phase shifters or a turbocharger, which is sometimes damaged by fragments of a burst manifold. They are also characterized by leaking oil seals, said expert of the Za Rulem publication Sergei Zinoviev,

The weak point of the 2.0 diesel version is the timing chain, which quickly stretches during active driving, not to mention the typical diesel problems with the particulate filter and EGR system.

The generally reliable eight-speed ZF hydraulic automatic transmission may require intervention after 150 thousand kilometers – replacement of bushings, oil seals and clutches.

However, the main headache, according to the expert, is the capricious electronics, which “do weird things on a regular basis.” In addition to this, squeaks appear in the interior over time, and car parts remain expensive even by premium standards, and many of them are difficult to find on sale.

The 2015 model year Jaguar XE can now be found on the secondary market at prices ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 million rubles. Average mileage is 120 thousand kilometers.

Earlier, the most popular crossovers that Russians are driving from China became known.
