Does the Jaguar XEL have frameless doors?

[LeJune]

Jaguar XEL has frameless doors. Advantages of frameless doors: They look stylish and sporty, with good sound insulation. The frameless door system automatically lowers the window by 0.5 cm when opening the door and raises it to seal against the weatherstrip after closing. Since the weatherstrip is installed on the car body, the sealing performance is excellent. Disadvantages of frameless doors: Compared to conventional framed doors, frameless doors have higher manufacturing requirements, such as sound insulation and waterproofing, leading to higher production costs. Due to the complexity of the technology, the failure rate increases, which also raises maintenance costs. For example, frameless doors rely solely on the door panel for support, which over time may cause loosening of the glass or door panel components, leading to potential wind or water leaks. Therefore, their durability is not as good as that of framed doors.
