Jaguar’s 2017 XE sedan starts at $35,895, 2016 XF sedan at $52,895

Jaguar has announced pricing and specs for its expanded 2016 and 2017 model year lineup.

The redesigned 2016 Jaguar XF will start at $52,895 including $995 for a destination charge and will arrive in showrooms later this year. The entry-level XF 35i Premium comes with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 developing 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, cutting out the previous base turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The supercharged six is connected to a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox. Also standard is the next generation of Jaguar’s infotainment system and the just-announced EliteCare warranty.

The EliteCare warranty includes free scheduled maintenance for a five-year period, which is a significantly better deal than the first free maintenance on current Jaguar models. Also part of the package is free roadside assistance for the same term.

The mid-level XF 35t Prestige is priced at $57,545, while the XF 35t R-Sport costs $61,645. To kick up the power, you’ll need to pony up for the XF S, which starts at $63,695 and adds 40 hp for a total of 380 hp. All-wheel drive is available on all XF variants for an extra $3,000.

Transitioning to the all-new 2017 XE sport sedan, it will start at $35,895 (including the $995 destination fee), which slots right in between the base BMW 320i ($33,150) and the more expensive 328i ($38,350).

The entry 2017 Jaguar XE 25t will go on sale in the U.S. in early 2016 and is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers 240 hp and 251 lb-ft of torque. Moving up the model range, the XE 20d is priced at $37,395 and features a 2.0-liter turbodiesel inline-four-cylinder pumping out 180 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque. Sitting at the top of the XE range is the XE 35t at $42,695 that is equipped with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that produces 340 hp and 332 lb-ft (just like the base XF sedan). Pricing for the all-wheel drive XE variants has yet to be announced.

Standard features on the XE include Jaguar’s new ‘InControl’ infotainment system, Meridian sound system, and the EliteCare warranty.

The 10 best car battery brands in 2024
How to test a car battery

You must know this, but your car needs a battery to run properly. A dead battery means a car won't start, but various electronics in the car won't work properly either, including overhead dome lights, the radio, and even some security features, like door locks or alerts. So, it's in your best interest to ensure your vehicle's battery is in tip-top shape at all times. It's especially important if your car or vehicle sits unused for long periods. A trickle charger can help keep the battery powered in those situations, or worst case, a portable jump starter can help you get it going. But eventually, you're going to need to replace your battery, and it will help to know the best car battery brands out there so you know precisely what to replace your old one with. Let's discuss.
AC Delco
In operation for more than a century, AC Delco has been recommended as "the only batteries" for GM vehicles. You'll find them at retailers like AutoZone, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Amazon, and even some Walmarts. They're reliable, reasonably priced, and come with a good warranty, 18 months or above, depending on where you buy. A great AC Delco battery to call out is the Advantage series.

Bosch
Bosch is a solid mid-grade battery provider both in quality and price. They do have some affordable options, but their premium lines are still reasonably priced, with several tiers available for a wide variety of vehicles. The downside is that Bosch batteries are not carried by all retailers like some of the other options on our list, but you can find them online. You can also visit a Bosch service center if there's one near you. Callouts are the S4 to S6 series and the T4 to T6 series. We will say the brand's four-year free replacement warranty is unmatched.

Tesla’s fix for faulty Cybertruck pedal is simpler than you might think
Tesla Cybertruck

Less than five months after handing over the first Cybertrucks to customers, Tesla has had to recall the electric pickup to fix an issue with the accelerator.

In a notice issued on Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the recall impacts Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. This suggests that all -- or almost all -- of the 3,878 Cybertrucks being recalled are those that have been manufactured to date.

Ford Mustang Mach-E 2024 vs. Mach-E 2023: What’s new in Ford’s electric Mustang?
Blue Ford Mustang Mach-E on a rooftop

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is easily one of the best EVs for the price, offering a solid range, sleek design, and pretty good tech on the inside. In recent years, it has gotten even cheaper -- thanks in large part to a price war between it and the Tesla Model 3. And, the company just took the wraps off of the latest and greatest version of the Mach-E, labeled as the 2024 model.

The 2024 Mustang Mach-E is notably different from the 2023 iteration in some meaningful ways. So much so that we decided to take a look at the two head-to-head -- to see if it was better to pay for the 2024 model or save some cash on any remaining 2023 stock.
Design
The Mustang Mach-E looks relatively unique -- in a good way. And thankfully, Ford has largely kept the overall design the same for the 2024 model, at least when it comes to the more consumer-focused models. The car retains the slatted taillights and crossover size. It also offers a large selection of colors, including the very blue Grabber Blue Metallic, as well as Rapid Red Metallic. It's a good selection of colors, and there should be an option for most buyers.
