Is there any reason to believe that Jaguar has made a decent entry into the economical car class? Or can one presume that they will just keep on making the world's worst car in a smaller version?
Surely, the people at Jaguar know how dismally unreliable and fragile their big fast cars have been for such a long time. Would one expect them to keep on making the same mistakes when they completely retool and redesign a car for a different market niche?

No.
Unless you consider a $46,000 car to be in the economical car class. Since that's double the price of everyone else's economical cars and the point of economical car is to be economical, I'd say it's a lousy entry.
I see you don't know the real reason for those. That's because people may want a luxury car of that size yet people may not be able to afford them. It's just a cheaper way to get people to buy in and still have the content which appealed to them in the first place. How do you think the 7 series starts at around 75k and it still has most of the features that you can get in higher end trims. I didn't look at the links because I don't care. The Mercedes is built with the sole purpose of being a more fuel efficient option which you pay more for. It's too different than the XF and 528i which are both just a cheaper model to make it easier to buy into the range.
