What are the differences between Jaguar XFL and XEL?
2 Answers
The differences between Jaguar XFL and XEL are as follows: 1. In terms of price, the XEL is basically at the same level as the XFL, with the base model XFL overlapping in price with the top-tier XEL, indicating that the two models have a hierarchical relationship. The XEL focuses on sportiness and handling while maintaining refinement, offering advantages beyond its class and posing some competition to the XFL's business-oriented model. 2. The Jaguar XFL is positioned higher than the XEL, offering a wider range of powertrain options and more luxurious interior features. In terms of performance, the XEL with its 2.0T high-power engine is more sporty compared to the XFL, which leans towards comfortable driving and business use. Both the XEL and XFL, derived from the family design language, are very similar in overall appearance, but the subtle differences in details make the XEL more refined and dynamic, while the XFL appears more grand and luxurious. 3. The XEL is equipped with a 2.0T engine available in two tuning levels: the low-power 200PS variant with a maximum power of 147kW and maximum torque of 320N•m, and the high-power 250PS variant with a maximum power of 184kW and maximum torque of 365N•m. Both are paired with ZF's 8-speed automatic transmission. The XFL is equipped with a new 2.0T Ingenium engine, also available in two tuning levels, with maximum power outputs of 147kW (200PS) and 184kW (250PS), respectively.
I recently compared these two models. The Jaguar XFL is the long-wheelbase version based on the XF, with larger dimensions and significantly extended wheelbase, offering particularly spacious rear seats that comfortably accommodate three passengers. The trunk can also handle large luggage, making it ideal for frequent family trips or business needs. The XEL is the long-wheelbase version derived from the XE. Although it also features an extended wheelbase, its overall size is smaller, providing more agile handling and lighter steering, which makes parking and turning in the city much easier. Both models boast luxurious and high-quality interiors, but the XFL leans toward a more refined style with softer seats. In terms of pricing, the XFL is typically tens of thousands more expensive, but if you prioritize space and comfort, it's worth the investment. On the other hand, if you prefer a sporty feel and nimble driving, the XEL is more suitable. Both offer similar engine options, including 2.0T or 3.0T. On the highway, the XFL feels rock-solid, while the XEL delivers a bit more excitement.
