Used Jaguar XE: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Jaguar XE from 2017 to 2020: what each year typically sells for (about $12,000 to $17,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2017–2020.
2017–2020 Jaguar XE
A sharp-handling compact luxury sports sedan with an aluminum structure and elegant styling.
Years to target: 2017–2020. It has a below-average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | $12,000 | Target | Not rated | ~85,000 |
| 2018 | $13,500 | Target | Not rated | ~75,000 |
| 2019 | $15,000 | Target | Not rated | ~70,000 |
| 2020 | $17,000 | Target | Not rated | ~60,000 |
Worth knowing
- Steep depreciation makes it cheap to buy, but reliability is spotty, the rear seat is tight, and repairs and dealer support can be costly.
The trim we'd park in our garage
The 2017 to 2019 35t and S models have the supercharged V6 and are the most rewarding; the 2020 refresh brought a nicer interior and dual touchscreens.
On the test drive
Test every electronic feature, including the infotainment screen and parking sensors, since electrical faults are common. Pay for an inspection at an independent shop that specializes in the brand.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from the start of this generation (2017).
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2017, never standard in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.

Prices are typical dealer and private asking prices from used listings, collected in September and October 2026, for an average-mileage car. Years with too few listings are estimated from nearby years. Crash ratings, recalls and owner complaint counts come from NHTSA public records. Always get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy. Spot something off? Let us know.
