Challenging convention and setting its own rules, the new Jaguar XF
fuses the style and performance of a sports car with the refinement,
space and sophistication of a luxury saloon. This is the beginning of a
new era for Jaguar.
The
new XF: a dramatic expression of a bold new Jaguar design language,
with a driving experience that exceeds expectations created by the
striking appearance: relaxed and confident, with outstanding ability
and control.
Resolutely true to the Jaguar philosophy of creating
beautiful, fast cars, the XF goes further, adding a new dimension to
the marque. The four-door XF has the visual excitement of a coupe, but
room inside for five adults to enjoy an interior wholly contemporary in
style yet uniquely Jaguar.
As well as space, the new XF's
interior ambience is enriched by crafted, luxurious materials,
sophisticated instruments and calm interior mood lighting. Engineering
excellence and attention to detail mean the XF's interior matches the
best-in-class for refinement, while Jaguar's intelligent use of
technology and driver-friendly Touch-screen controls add new layers of
comfort and ease of use.
Every XF model has shift-by-wire
transmission control, with Jaguar's class-leading sequential shift
system – its popularity already confirmed by feedback from XK sports
car customers – used for the first time in a saloon. Shift-by-wire
replaces manual shift linkages with electronic commands and gives every
XF rapid and very smooth gearshifts – faster, even, than the acclaimed
XK's transmission.
The Jaguar Sequential ShiftTM System gives
the driver the option of one-touch manual gearchange control via
steering-wheel mounted paddles. There are also multiple JaguarDrive
ControlTM transmission modes, including Dynamic and Winter settings,
which interact with throttle progression, Dynamic Stability Control
thresholds and shift strategy to match mood and conditions.
But
the most exciting feature of the XF's transmission control is the
all-new JaguarDrive SelectorTM – an industry-first rotary shift
interface that combines precise, intuitive control with space-saving
packaging, to allow maximisation of interior storage options.
Other
innovative functional features add more 'surprise and delight'.
Air-conditioning vents present a flush dashboard surface until the
ignition is switched on, at which point they elegantly rotate to the
open position. Another new technology - JaguarSenseTM – with the
lightest touch, activates overhead console lights and the glovebox
release.
Every level of audio system features at least eight
speakers, with a premium system designed in association with highly
respected audio specialist Bowers & Wilkins available on
range-topping models. Radio options now include a Digital Audio
Broadcasting (DAB) system, while the XF technology count includes
Bluetooth® communications technology, plus optional iPod® and MP3
player connectivity with full-function control through the Touch-screen
– and an auxiliary port on every car for other portable audio devices.
Other
available features include JaguarVoiceTM control to operate audio and
telephone functions, Blind Spot Monitor, Front and Rear Parking Aids
and Rear Camera Parking Aid, Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Speed
Limiter, Tire Pressure Monitoring System and Electronic Parking Brake.
The
XF will be available from launch with two unique engines, featuring
Jaguar's proven six-speed automatic transmission with steering
wheel-mounted 'paddles' for manual gear selection (Jaguar Sequential
ShiftTM):
- 4.2 naturally aspirated V8: 0-100kph in 6.5 secs (0-60mph in 6.2 secs) and a top speed electronically limited to 200kph;
- 4.2 Supercharged V8:0-100kph in 5.4 secs (0-60mph in 5.1 secs) and a top speed electronically limited to 250kph
