2016 Jaguar XE

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2016 XE.

The 2016 Jaguar XE sits at the very beginning of the model's tracked reliability history, immediately preceding the documented complaint window that spans from 2017 to 2020. As the predecessor to the model's most problematic year—which saw a peak of 20 complaints in 2017—the 2016 XE represents the foundational phase of a platform that would undergo significant refinement. With complaints ultimately plummeting to a low of just 2 by 2020, the 2016 model year occupies the early, less resolved end of the reliability curve, meaning researchers should view it as the baseline version before the vehicle's most substantial quality improvements took hold.
