Electric power steering is becoming the standard across the industry, but the XE will be the first Jaguar to be equipped with the latest generation Electric Power Assisted Steering. Jaguar says that the system latest software algorithms now allow much greater scope for tuning than hydraulic-based systems and deliver better quality steering feel.

Lastly All Surface Progress Control works like a low-speed cruise control to deliver optimum traction in the most slippery conditions without skidding and without the driver using the pedals.
