Jaguar’s all-new XE compact executive sedan will come out of the shadows today at a little after 2:15 PM EST (or 18:15 GMT / 19:15 BST / 20:15 CET) during a special event in London, which you can watch below.

Besides the live stream, you can catch up with the latest news on the social media front, while we’ll also be providing updates on anything new we find – it goes without saying, you can do the same in the comments box.

The XE is Jaguar’s second stab at the wildly popular compact premium segment to challenge the BMW 3-Series, Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the rest after the ill-fated X-Type of the 2000s.

It will ride on a new modular vehicle architecture with lightweight aluminum making up 75 percent of the structure.

Jaguar is expected to launch the car with the group’s new Ingenium engine range that will include a highly fuel efficient four-cylinder lump returning over 75 mpg UK (62.4 mpg US or 3.7 l/100 km) and CO2 emissions of less than 100 g/km. The brand’s 3.0-liter supercharged V6 found in models like the F-Type will also be on offer.

The XE will have its formal public debut at next month’s Paris Auto Show.
