An altogether better Jaguar XF lighter, more efficient and jam packed with the latest technology.

 

No doubt this is a beautiful new XF, however the press information for the car was so lengthy that to sum it up became an issue of what to choose. There are just features and more features.

First the price starting at a rather good £32,300. Emissions starting at just 104 g/km and fuel economy up to a combined 71.7 mpg, by the way, the emissions are lower than any hybrid model in the segment.

“I believe the all-new XF is the best looking car in its class. Elegant, handsome and with proportions that imbue a great sense of integrity – the all-new XF is true to the great tradition of sporting Jaguar saloons while being completely of its time.”Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar:
The latest Jaguar aluminium intensive architecture gives a sporty, strong state-of-the-art modular structure for better performance, efficiency safety and dynamics, this car is 80kg lighter than its competitors.

The bodywork shape, with a low drag, elegant wind cheating design brings aerodynamic efficiency of :Cd 0.26.

Inside the car class leading rear-seating space, more legroom and more headroom.

In the dash, a whopping 10.2inch touchscreen infotainment system, with seamless connectivity, 17 speakers and 825W of glorious Meridian sound. Even more nerdy features come with a reconfigurable 12.3 inch instrument cluster with full screen navigation and a customisable visual display.

The power, from 163PS 2.0-Litre Ingenium diesel is mated to a six speed manual or a lovely 380PS V6 supercharged petrol engine with an eight speed automatic transmission.

The suspension, a double-wishbone and Integral Link set-up for an exceptional ride, sporty handling, and unrivalled refinement. Some models are equipped with an All-Surface Progress Control for effortless driving away, on snow and ice – all the driver has to do is steer.

Just a few more to go, the full ‘must have’ great looking LED headlights, a laser head-up display with full colour images, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, with queue assist, lane keep assist, intelligent speed limiter and semi-automated parking. Oh, yes I have just spotted park assist.

The all-new XF range will consist of: XF Prestige, XF R-Sport, XF Portfolio, XF S.

The all-new XF powertrain range will consist of: 163PS and 180PS 2.0-litre diesel manual and automatic; RWD 300PS 3.0 V6 diesel automatic; RWD 380PS 3.0-litre V6 petrol automatic.

The all-new XF joins the Jaguar saloon car range between the XE and XJ model lines.

“The all-new XF has to deliver driver reward through agility and immediacy of response when it’s called for, and yet great ride composure and comfort too. The all-new XF’s light and rigid aluminium intensive architecture is a key enabler for us delivering those attributes, as it provides an optimal basis for finely tuning the ride and handling characteristics of the car. The result is that the new XF is as satisfying to drive quickly, as it is comfortable to be driven in.”Mike Cross, Chief Engineer of Vehicle Integrity, Jaguar
