Safety and Driver Assistance Rating:
*Due to lack of NHTSA and IIHS crash testing.
Nearly every modern safety technology feature is available on the XE, with an emphasis on “available.” Few of the features are standard, except on upper trim levels. Meanwhile, neither the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) nor NHTSA have crash-tested the XE, so we can’t formulate a rating for the Jaguar.
What’s New for 2018?
Nothing has changed in the safety category for the 2018 model year, and the XE still has not yet been tested by NHTSA or IIHS.

Crash Test Results
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the nonprofit, independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluate vehicles for crashworthiness in the United States. NHTSA assigns cars an overall rating out of five stars. IIHS uses a different set of tests, grades cars on a scale of Good to Poor, and awards the vehicles that perform best across its tests with Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ honors, the latter of which requires that the subject’s automated forward-collision-braking system performs well.

Airbags, Child Seats, and Spare Tire Location
Just as the XE’s small rear-door openings make loading humans into the back seat more work than it should be, stuffing a baby seat through them requires some dexterity. Once inside, the seat sits level on the cushion, but the LATCH anchors are buried between that cushion and the rear seatback and are difficult to engage.
Active Safety Features
Although standard on higher trim levels, active safety must-haves such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control are either optional or unavailable on many XEs.
