2014 Guangzhou Auto Show: Jaguar XE PK Infiniti Q50

Phoenix Auto · New Car PK Platform At this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, Jaguar released the new XE model, which is Jaguar’s first entry-level sedan, competing with other models. However, from the details, the product with a better brand positioning and unique charm is the most suitable for comparison with PK, so we chose the product that is currently very popular on the market -.

Similarly, Jaguar’s official positioning of this car is a sports coupe, so it adopts a lot of coupe elements in the design of the shape, the whole body line is smooth and elegant, and more edges are added to the details to highlight the visual impact. Compared with the Jaguar XF, the Jaguar XF has a more compact body, so it shows more agile and capable characteristics, which is more able to attract some young elites to be interested in it.

The brand positioning of the Q50 is different from that of it has more elegant temperament and the coura****o go wild. For those middle-class people with unique tastes, the Infiniti Q50 is a unique choice, which shows more personal taste and interest, rather than traditional ******ity. The Infiniti Q50 is currently domestically produced and has been lengthened, and the space is more spacious than the standard wheelbase version, but the significance of the standard wheelbase version is that it has more authentic Yuppie pedigree, so we chose the imported standard wheelbase version for this comparison.

The Jaguar XE should be regarded as the fourth model of the new Jaguar. Starting with the Jaguar XF launched in 2007, Jaguar gave up the retro style and adopted a new family design. Then the new generation and the Jaguar F-Type were launched one after another. Now the Jaguar XE takes the design of the new Jaguar forward again. From the Jaguar XE, we can clearly see the characteristics of the Jaguar family: the unretouched large-size air intake, the sharp and verve willow headlights, the iconic J-Blade daytime running lights, and the chrome-plated side vents all exude the unique charm of this British brand.

The Infiniti family’s models reveal a "literary man" style from head to toe, from the inside to the outside. The arch-shaped front of the car itself gives people an innate confidence. Coupled with chrome trim and the air intake grille that looks like water ripples, it adds some elegant, knowledgeable and tasteful tonality. All-LED large lights with adaptive front lighting system and high-beam assist technology, the LED light eyebrows are said to have been revised by design director Alfonso and his team for a long time before they finally settled on the current top pick angle that is just right from any angle.

From the details, the Jaguar XE is obviously more technologically attractive than the Infiniti Q50. Although the detailed design of the Infiniti Q50 also has its own style and is commendable in many places, it is still not as extreme in terms of technology as the Jaguar XE. In the past, the LED light group inside the headlight was just a simple line, but it outlined the overall atmosphere of dynamic, literary and technological sense. In addition, the Jaguar brand LOGO also has an innate aristocratic temperament, and the overall brand perception is more "tall" than Infiniti.

From the perspective of body size, the length, width and height of the Jaguar XE are 4672/1850/1416mm respectively, and the length, width and height of the Q50 are 4802/1823/1416mm respectively. The length of the Q50 is slightly larger, and there is no essential difference in other parts. The wheelbases of the two are 2835mm and 2850mm respectively, still slightly larger than the Infiniti Q50.

The Jaguar XE is based on the iQ intelligent all-aluminum architecture. More than 75% of the body is made of aluminum, and the lightweight performance is particularly outstanding, far exceeding other similar models. Although the body is light in weight, it is also extremely strong and its torsional rigidity is extremely high. This is its biggest advantage over the Infiniti Q50.
