Does the XE have an extended model?

XE has an extended model, the extended version of XE is XEL, which is a domestic Jaguar car. The Jaguar XEL is a mid-size sedan. The 2020 XEL has a length, width, and height of 4778mm, 1850mm, and 1429mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2935mm. The front suspension of the Jaguar XEL uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension. The Jaguar XEL is equipped with two engines, one is a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 147kw and a maximum torque of 320nm, featuring direct fuel injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
As a long-time Jaguar enthusiast, I recall that the XE indeed had a long-wheelbase version, primarily sold in the Chinese market under the name XEL, with an increased wheelbase of around 100mm. This significantly enhanced rear legroom, making long-distance travel more comfortable. The extended version was specifically designed for Chinese consumers, who place greater emphasis on rear-seat comfort, such as providing more space for children during family trips. As someone who frequently attends auto shows, I've seen the XEL being quite popular on display platforms, though the extended body might slightly affect its dynamics, making turns a bit slower when driving. If you're purchasing a car in China, the XEL is easy to find; in other regions like Europe or the U.S., you might only come across the standard wheelbase version. If you're considering buying one, I recommend prioritizing your space needs—if you often travel with family, the XEL is far more practical.
