The XE scored maximum points for its protection of the 1½ year dummy in the dynamic impact tests. In the frontal offset test, forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive and protection was good except for marginally elevated neck tension. In the side barrier impact, both dummies were properly contained in the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the vehicle interior. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the XE is designed could be correctly installed and accommodated in the car.

The XE has an 'active' bonnet. Sensors in the bumper detect when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators lift the bonnet, providing greater clearance between the surface and hard structures in the engine compartment. Jaguar showed that the system worked robustly for a range of speeds and a variety of pedestrian statures. Accordingly, the bonnet was tested in the deployed (raised) position. Protection was almost exclusively good or adequate on the bonnet surface, with poor results recorded along the bottom edge of the windscreen and on the stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper scored maximum points for its protection of pedestrian's legs, with good performance at every test location. The protection provided to the pelvic region was more mixed, results ranging from weak to good.

All features assessed by Euro NCAP for Safety Assist are standard equipment on the XE: it has electronic stability control; a seatbelt reminder for the front and rear seats; a driver-set speed limiter; a lane departure warning system; and its autonomous emergency braking system works also at inter-urban speeds and demonstrated good performance in Euro NCAP's tests.

The passenger compartment of the XE remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger dummies. Jaguar showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different seating positions. In the full-width rigid barrier impact, protection of the driver and rear passenger was good for all critical body regions except the chest, protection of which was adequate. The XE scored maximum points in the side barrier impact, with good protection of all critical body areas. In the more severe side pole test, chest protection was adequate and that of other body regions was again good. In Euro NCAP's tests, the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection for the occupants of those seats. The XE has a standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system which provides additional protection against whiplash at low, city speeds. The system performed well in Euro NCAP's tests.
