XE S buyer's guide

[bobsavage789]

Does the XE S have adaptive cruise control or other driver assistance systems?

I can only see mention of condition monitors and lane keep warnings...

Can't recall for the S specifically, as it is a trim level in itself including the engine in the UK, but for all other trim levels, cruise control is standard, adaptive cruise control is an option.

I believe you can tell by looking a the badge on the grille. If the growler is on a rectangular black plastic plate, I believe that's the radar for the adaptive cruise control, and if the growler is just a round badge attached straight on the grille, there's no radar / lidar / whatever they use.

Thanks for the reply: Nothing worse than when there's no plastic around the growler!

I'm looking at this one:

No sign of ACC, but seems well specced otherwise!

I don't see the plastic in that link so I'd personally assume it doesn't have the ACC until proven otherwise.

Autonomous early braking is standard, as is lane keep and condition monitor, blind spot detection is optional, adaptive cruise is as well (it was in a pack with blind spot on my 2016 car).

It's a great car - I had black 19's for summer and 18's for winter (still in the garage) - too many folks had problems with the 20's.

Swapped it for an Ipace.

Good spec but no ACC. The spec sheet shows 325w Meridian stereo but I think it’s the 700w which is a bonus!

That would have been a near £60k car new

Out of curiosity what is the problem with the 20’s?
