At long last..........Pictures.

XE 3 litre petrol, interesting!
Wonder if it will be V6 or inline 6.
They look lovely but not sure I'm going back to a saloon anytime soon. Current plan is to wait for the CX-17 or whatever they call it when it comes out.

It's the supercharged V6 as fitted in the F Type

If it's the V6 then it could also be 4wd.

The plot thickens.

Great pics Redrob.

I thought that the initial production of Ingenium engines was all 4 pots, so it could be running the current V6 Supercharged motor as used in F type and export only RRsport and Discovery4 as well as USA market XF's and Xj's that have 4WD as an option too, and have had for over a year now....... neither 4WD nor the S/C V6 are strangers to Jaguar, just to us in the UK and Europe

Just noticed in the third picture, my wife drinking her coffee at the back of our car in the background.

Just got back from one of Jaguars early customer events at The Hepworth in Wakefield. They had 2 preproduction XE's there a V6 3Ltr Supercharged and a 2Ltr diesel. Genera consensus was that they were good with 2 people (one a MB C class driver the other a Jag XF driver) I spoke to saying they were going to order one. It does look really good in real life and streets ahead of the German alternatives. Jaguar dealers will have demonstrators available in April with the first customer deliveries in June.
However looking at these camouflaged photos and comparing them with the XEs I saw tonight, I don't think the car in the photo is an XE, it's possible the replacement for the XF and in any case why would you camouflage a car that's been displayed at the Paris Motor Show?

While the driver was away I looked inside the car, the dash was covered by a sort of roll down sheet that hid all the dashboard there was a big computer type screen fitted to the passenger side and a bright orange emergency spare wheel just sitting on the back seat, but alas I didn't take any photos of the interior.
