The Jaguar XF is a mid-size premium 4-door saloon based on the
design of the Jaguar
C-XF concept car.
The XF also brings in a new styling language for Jaguar, its
taught lines are quite different from the rather bland, classical
lines of previous 4-door Jaguars. The XF has the visual appeal
of a coupe, but room inside for five adults. As well as space,
the XF's interior is lined with crafted, luxurious materials,
sophisticated instruments and calm interior mood lighting.
The range topping Jaguar XF SV8 is powered by a 4.2 litre supercharged
V8 which develops 420 bhp, and 408 lb ft of torque, giving the
XF SV8 a 0-60 mph time of 5.1 seconds, and an electronically
limited top speed of 155 mph. As well as the SV8 version of
the XF there are 3 other engine options a 2.7 litre V6 twin
turbo diesel, a 3.0 litre V6 petrol, and a 4.2 litre non-turbo
V8.
Every XF model has shift-by-wire transmission control which
delivers rapid and smooth gearchanges. The Jaguar Sequential
Shift System gives the driver the option of one-touch manual
gearchange control via steering-wheel mounted paddles. There
are also multiple JaguarDrive Control 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 Jaguar
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.
Just as the Jaguar XF's exterior defines a new design direction,
the interior moves from traditional themes to contemporary,
sporting luxury highlighted by features like the JaguarDrive
Selector and rotating air vents; through the use of sophisticated
new materials; and by all-new graphics and interior lighting
systems.
The driver and passengers are well looked after in the gadget
department too, with features like the Blind Spot Monitor, Front
and Rear Parking Aids, Rear Camera Parking Aid, Adaptive Cruise
Control, Automatic Speed Limiter and Tire Pressure Monitoring
System. Bluetooth compatibility, iPod/MP3 player interfaces,
JaguarVoice, Digital radio and a single or six-disc CD player.
The front seats of the XF are electrically adjustable, with
a minimum of eight-way seat adjustment for the driver and front
passenger, while the SV8 offers 16-way driver's seat and 12-way
passenger's seat adjustment with 4-way power lumbar and cushion
length adjustment for the driver.
