Jaguar XE Series fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Jaguar XE Series from 2015 to 2023. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2023), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 30.0 to 51.1 mpg, with CO2 of 145 to 213 g/km. On the older NEDC test (listings 2015 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 34.9 to 75.0 mpg, with CO2 of 99 to 194 g/km.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “XE Saloon, 20MY”, “XE Saloon, 16MY”, “XE Saloon, 19MY”, “XE Saloon, 18MY”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Jaguar XE Series safety recalls
DVSA lists 13 safety recalls for the Jaguar XE Series since 1992, the first in 2016. The most recent was launched on 2 December 2025.
Security Guidance
Launched 2 December 2025DVSA recall R/2025/488Manufacturer ref. D008
Defect
Jaguar Land Rover in conjunction with law enforcement and insurance bodies is aware of the increase in thefts of vehicles in specific geographical locations within the United Kingdom. There is no fault with Jaguar Land Rover's security systems and they continue to meet stringent automotive legislation. Jaguar Land Rover is offering owners guidance on how to maximise vehicle security and protect against theft
Remedy
Vehicle registered keepers will be sent a security guidance letter only - there is no repair action.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Jaguar XE Series. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
