Pros

• Ride and Handling

  Has the feel of a 3 series BMW but with adaptive suspension it is like having your cake and eating it too.

• Fuel Economy

  I average 42mpg in a mix of city and stop and go traffic. I will best 50 on the open interstate for hundreds of miles at a time. This is the 2.0L turbo diesel. yes, aware of the timing guide wear so change your oil every 5k and drive the car so it never has to passive regen the dpf and dilute the oil. You drive this car on short trips and only change the oil every 20k as recommended and you risk the problems. I have seen many over 200k without fault. 2019 they upgraded the timing chain guides. Many cars have had these issues in that era. Understand it and know how to mitigate it.

• Weather Versatility

  AWD in a economical and premium package seems like cheating. The XE shares the same platform as the Range Rover Velar I also have and although not programed the same it is sublime in bad weather with good tires. Drives like a sports car, sips fuel like an economy car and runs over the pass in snow like a SUV. it is literally a swiss army knife of a car.

Cons

• Interior Space

  boot is on the small side in class as well as the rear seat room for large adults but to change that would alter the nice lines of the car.

• Technology and Entertainment

  I have the upgraded 10.2 touch screen which is much better than the standard 8 that lags but even still it can take 15-20 seconds to launch. Once going it works great. The Meridian Surround Sound is well worth it. I would not own a car without. I have had cars with HK, JBL, Bang olefson and this is right there.

• Cabin Noise

  It is not as well isolated from road noise as a 7 series or S class but it is also not the same class of car. I have the optional 19" wheels so my tire size contributes to the road noise. Not all surfaces are bad. I compare this to my 330ci and M3 here. You know what surface you are on but it is not intrusive. it just lacks the quiet isolation of a full size premium car which some people like and some don't.

Cons

• Interior Space

  Backseat not the best for tall passengers

Pros

• Ride and Handling

  It sticks to the road in every condition we have encountered thus far: snow, rain, and dry roads.

• Fuel Economy

  It has been averaging 26 mpg on surface roads. On the highway, it gets 29-ish mpg. I never expected a luxury sedan to get that kind of mileage.

• Power

  The engine has excellent get up and go. It is fun to drive when you are feeling frisky.

Cons

• Interior Space

  The front seat interior space is great. The rear seat space doesn't exist. Our dog barely fits in the back (she's a Golden...). The door frame bops me in the head if I don't bend over far enough. I'm 6'1" tall; and, that is probably the maximum comfortable height for the car.

• Technology and Entertainment

  Missing thinks that are included in most cars nowadays: seat heaters, etc. Additionally, the cruise control is weird. You set the maximum speed you want to go and then it limits you to that speed. You still have to control the accelerator with your foot (kind of a pain...).

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Great mileage

• Interior Space

  Leg room is great. Leather seats wrap around you and are very comfortable.

• Power

  No problems traveling in this car. Plenty of power and safety features.
