2022 Lexus IS vs. 2022 Jaguar XE
The Lexus IS, and the Jaguar XE are two similar premium sedans that offer a lot of value. Both of them have been around for a while now, so it's worth looking at how they compare.
Design & Style
- Exterior Design
The 2022 Lexus IS is a very attractive car. Its sleek, clean lines and sharp angles give it a somewhat sporty look tempered by its more compact size. The front end of the car has a large, hexagonal grille flanked by LED headlights and daytime running lights that are inset into the bodywork too. Slim LED taillights are set into deep recesses at the vehicle's rear to give it a more aggressive appearance when viewed from behind.
The 2022 Jaguar XE has an equally attractive exterior design with some similarities to its sibling's, but there are also some key differences. For many, this model has an even larger hexagonal grille than its Lexus counterpart—it's one of the biggest in any production car today! The headlights have been pushed further out toward each corner and higher up, so they're closer together with minimal space for maximum aerodynamic efficiency (and style).
- Interior Design
The 2022 Lexus IS and 2022 Jaguar XE feature comfortable, spacious interiors. Both models have a long list of luxury features, including dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, and heated front seats.
The interior design of the 2022 Lexus IS reflects its premium status with a simple, elegant, but not ostentatious layout. The controls are intuitively placed on polished chrome panels, while the high-quality materials give it an air of sophistication and elegance.
Technology & Safety
Though the XE and IS are both sedans, they differ in what they're designed to do. The Lexus is a luxury car meant to be comfortable and fuel-efficient, whereas the Jaguar is a performance-focused sports sedan. In this section, we look at how these two cars compare regarding technology and safety features.
These two models have similar infotainment systems with Apple CarPlay integration and Android Auto compatibility. If you have an Apple device or any Android phone with a USB Type-C port, you can use your smartphone as a source for music playback through either of these cars' sound systems. However, if you don't have one of those devices or prefer not to use them while driving, then either vehicle will also allow you access content stored on its built-in hard drive via Bluetooth streaming capabilities (if so equipped).
Performance
The Lexus IS engine comes with a 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine, and the Jaguar XE comes with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. Both engines are mated to automatic transmissions (8 speed in the case of the Lexus and 8 speed in the case of the Jaguar).

The Bottom Line
The Lexus IS is a great choice for those who want a luxury car that offers more performance than their average vehicle but doesn't want to sacrifice the luxury to do so. The 2022 Jaguar XE is an excellent choice if you're looking for a luxurious sedan but want one with more power and styling. Both vehicles are great choices depending on your needs, but the 2022 Lexus IS comes out on top as it combines power and comfort with style in one amazing package.
