Audi A5 Sportback vs Jaguar XE Comparison

The Audi A5 Sportback offers everything expected from a modern sports sedan. The steering is well-weighted and feels natural in the hands of the driver, and the front tires have a great grip and respond to inputs immediately, making the Audi A5 Sportback a joy to drive on twisty tarmac. The cabin has enough high-end amenities that you won’t even find in mainstream sedans. Its sloping rear roofline hides a large cargo hold and a power-operated liftgate, making it a very practical choice. The easy-to-use infotainment system and a suite of connectivity features make it stand out.

The Jaguar XE has impressed me with its agility and speed. It is very light on its feet and surpasses even high-end vehicles with its handling dynamics and ride quality. In everyday driving scenarios, the Jaguar XE seems to be a rear-wheel-drive car. It is very tossable and responds reassuringly and quickly to inputs. The paddle-shifting is smooth and fast and the automatic transmission is fantastic whenever I want to take control. I was surprised with the communicative steering feel, even with the electric system. The brakes offer optimum stopping power.
