Here at Car Articles, we’ve long been fans of the big cat marque. Jaguar Land Rover has been consistent in producing some truly excellent cars of late and the XE is no exception. Well, now there’s another compelling reason to buy. The Jaguar XE has been named as Euro NCAP’s safest large family car.
What this means in reality is that during Euro NCAP’s stringent crash safety procedures, the XE was consistently strong. It scored maximum points in the side barrier impact test for adult occupant protection, giving the XE an impressive 92 per cent overall in the category. It’s a testament to the inherent strength and stiffness of the XE’s innovative lightweight aluminium-intensive architecture.
With an impressive array of active safety technology fitted as standard, including Autonomous Emergency Braking, the XE also performed extremely well in the safety assist, pedestrian protection and child occupant protection categories.
“Euro NCAP gives top honours to the Jaguar XE which offers the highest levels of occupant protection and avoidance technology, and rewards the XE as Best in Class of 2015 in the large family segment. Euro NCAP particularly congratulates Jaguar for making all important Safety Assist features standard equipment.”
