A guess based on recall of other thread.
Your 4 movements each way gives 8, plus headrest up and down gives 10.
Lumbar and seat length each way gives 14
2 seats plus artistic (marketing) licence gives 10x10 and 14x14.

This is correct, Jaguar counts the headrest manual up and down as part of the 10 or 14 movements.
As told in another thread, the XE may also be fitted with the lumbar adjustement (which counts as 4 movements) and the "full-featured" seats also have seat length adjustement (counts as 2) and side cushions inflating/deflating (counts as 2 as well) which means that the max number of movements is 18.
@Bluefire65 : I never understood why Jaguar calls it 10x10 or 14x14 but you nailed it, that's because there's two seats. Brilliant marketing indeed.

From memory, the lumbar adjustment is an add-on to the 10 *10. I think it is rated as an extra 4 adjustments per seat - support up/down and cushion inflate/deflate. That's how it is counted on my Series 1 BMW and I can't imagine Jaguar wanting to be less "creative" than the opposition. However, when they are talking electrically adjusted seats, I don't see how they can include manual adjustment of the headrest- Trade Descriptions and all that ! I seem to remember someone in the Forum mentioning that the cushion extension is electric too, as is the steering wheel height and extension, but how this all fits into the the 14* 14 description I fail to understand. As ever, I'm sure the information is out there somewhere but finding a rational description of it is another matter.

Yes, true and as above, it's not headrest that takes 10 to 14, it's the 4 way lumbar support, which is an optional extra on 10x10gsb1970 said:

confirmed on my leasedrive order with the dealer - my order is a Portfolio, adding lumbar on its own to the portfolio seats which are 10x10 electric by default was more than going to 14x14 so I had to check with them. if you go to the online configurator and select 14x14 seats and try and add lumbar it warns you it will remove them and default back to 10x10
