NEW JAGUAR XF KEY POINTS
Three trim levels will be offered in the U.S. market ? Luxury, Premium Luxury and the 420hp Supercharged model.
The XF is a four door Jaguar that combines the style and performance of a sports car with the refinement, space and sophistication of a luxury sedan. Class-leading torsional stiffness delivers refinement and dynamic performance underpinning the driver-focused yet remarkably comfortable driving experience. The XF will be available at launch in the U.S. with two different engines 4.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 and 4.2-liter supercharged V8 all featuring Jaguar’s proven six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddles as standard in the XK sports car. With its dramatic styling, powerful yet beautiful lines and a distinctive face, the XF is the first sedan to exemplify Jaguar’s new design language. Using only the finest materials, which are applied in a very contemporary way, the XF’s interior is crafted to create a truly warm and bespoke environment Challenging convention, the XF offers sophisticated instrumentation and intuitive technologies. Upon entry, the start button pulses, like a heartbeat. Start the engine and the JaguarDrive SelectorTM rises into the palm of the hand, while rotating vents turn from their flush, ‘parked’ position to their functional open position. The coupe-like lines of the XF (which are similar to the XK’s) belie the amount of space inside: there is room for five adults in comfort, generous interior stowage and a trunk capacity of 17.7 cu. ft., plus the opportunity to fold down the rear seats and add a further 14.8 cu. ft. Key driver aids on the XF include Electronic Brake Assist, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Anti-lock Braking System, Dynamic Stability Control, Cornering Brake Control and Engine Drag Torque Control. And, for the first time in a Jaguar, Understeer Control Logic which decelerates the car and helps to restore grip to the front wheels when required. Jaguar-exclusive Bowers & Wilkins 440-watt Surround Sound System is available on all three trim levels. For more information, please contact Scott Paul at 800-793-1659
