I can't reproduce your problem.

Consider the file foo.tex:
--------------------------
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
xxx
\end{document}

% Local Variables:
% TeX-engine: xetex
% End:
--------------------------

When I type C-c C-c (TeX-command-master) I get

  Running `LaTeX' on `foo' with ``xelatex   -interaction=nonstopmode "\input" foo.tex''
  This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99992 (TeX Live 2015) (preloaded format=xelatex)

There is probably something wrong with your Emacs configuration but I
would expect that local variables take precedence.  However, which
engine is being used is stated at the top of TeX's log file.  Just in
case that you didn't configure Emacs to show what TeX usually prints
to screen.

After all, the line

 %%% TeX-engine: xetex

is obviously correct because it works like a charm here.  Don't know
why it doesn't work for you.  Does it work if you run

  emacs --no-init-file

?  If it works, there is something wrong with your ~/.emacs file.

Regards,
  Reinhard
