The Jaguar XE is the 2015 Auto Express Compact Executive Car of the Year.

This is Jaguar's entry to the compact executive class, the XE.

It's not quite as sharp as a BMW 3 Series to drive, but we like its relaxed, comfortable GT-like approach.&nbsp;

The Jaguar XE has a neat and well laid dash that featuring Jaguar's latest InControl Touch infotainment system.&nbsp;

Petrol and diesel engines are available in the XE, with diesel models expected to be the most popular.&nbsp;

The 2.0-litre diesel engine come in two different outputs, 161bhp and 178bhp.&nbsp;

The two petrol engines on offer are 2.0-litre turbocharged units with outputs of 198bhp and 237bhp.&nbsp;

The space in the rear is more than sufficient for tall passengers, with plenty of head and legroom.

The Jaguar XE comes with with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

The Jaguar XE may look conservative on the outside, but has real presence on road.

The range-topping Jaguar XE S models are fitted with beefier bumpers and large alloys.
