The All-New XE catches the eye, standing out from the competition because of its upscale proportions. The signature 'J-Blade' running lights are an instantly recognizable Jaguar design feature. In the rear lights, a horizontal line intersecting a roundel is an iconic styling feature inherited from the iconic Jaguar E-type. The strongly-sculpted bonnet is a testament to Jaguar's expertise in working with aluminium, creating a taut, muscular appearance. The raked windscreen and the rising waistline accentuate the streamlined, coupe-like profile, adding to the sense of movement.

The spacious cabin for the front seat passengers creates a cockpit-like feel. The 20.32 cm touchscreen for the new InControl Touch infotainment system takes centre stage in the sweeping curves of the instrument panel. Directly ahead of the driver, is the reassuring familiarity of two large, sports-car analogue dials and message centre inspired by F-TYPE. The contour-hugging front seats are mounted low, creating a sports-car like driving position. 

Customers have a wide variety of 7 colour options to choose from on the All-New Jaguar XE such as the Polaris White, Rhodium Silver, Blue Fire, Dark Sapphire, Odyssey Red, Italian Racing Red and Ultimate Black

As part of this fan experience at Wimbledon, selected members of the crowd enjoying the tennis this year will be provided with biometric wristbands capturing the excitement at SW19, in-ground sensors monitoring the energy around the courts. 

From measuring how the crowd energy compares between Centre Court, No.1 Court and The Hill, the excitement building in the ground as the home favorite serves for the Championships, or capturing the tension on court as a key match goes deeper into a fifth set, Jaguar will celebrate these emotional reactions to critical moments throughout the tournament. Tennis fans can access live updates of the crowd emotions down at SW19 across Jaguar’s UK social media channels, and by visiting www.feelwimbledon.co.uk.   

Former British No.1 Tim Henman, who now sits on the Committee at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club said: "There’s no other tournament like Wimbledon and the experience gets better each year. The drama, passion and excitement, shared by both players and fans alike, is what makes Wimbledon the number one tennis tournament in the world, and it’s great to see Jaguar celebrating these unique qualities as part of their #FeelWimbledon campaign."

Laura Schwab, UK Marketing Director at Jaguar Land Rover, said: "Wimbledon evokes lots of emotions and captures our imaginations in so many different ways, so we’re very excited to celebrate what makes Wimbledon so special through our #FeelWimbledon campaign."
