| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 6 other car models, including Jaguar XF, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Jaguar XE engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Jaguar XE 2019 2.0 engine: This engine is known for its relatively limited lifespan. In early production models, balance shaft bearings wore out quickly and started making noise. The chain-driven timing system, located on the flywheel ... More about Jaguar XE 2019 2.0 engine | |||
