The Jaguar XE has become the self entitled cost-of-ownership king of the premium C-Segment in the UK, thanks to class-leading residual values, Benefit in Kind rates and Vehicles Excise Duty, as well as Jaguar Service Plans.
Jaguar will cover all servicing costs for the XE for five years/50,000 miles and a single payment of £475. There’s also a £659 High Mileage Service Plan directed at corporate fleet customers, but which you can get regardless of how you purchased your XE. It will cover your costs for five years/75,000 miles, which Jaguar says, is more than any service plan offered by any of their premium rivals.
Furthermore, Jaguar have also made their Service Plans fully transferable to new owners while covering all repairs and replacement parts that you’d need in order to pass the XE’s third, fourth and fifth year MOT (Minister of Transport) tests up to a value of £750. They’ll also throw in AdBlue top-ups for the duration of the plan.
“The Jaguar XE’s low total cost of ownership is now opening up the brand to new customers and retail order books are filling up quickly” said Andy Goss, Jaguar LR Global Sales Director.
We fully agree that this is indeed an unprecedented philosophy for Jaguar and it will surely attract new and younger buyers, who up until now, were used to crave German efficiency, quality and reliability, despite the fact that they still admired Jaguars for the way they looked and drove.
