AT
A GLANCE
The XF is a four-door Jaguar that fuses the style and performance of
a sports car with the refinement, space and sophistication of a luxury
saloon.
The exterior styling of the XF is the first expression of Jaguar's
new design language in a saloon car. With interior design that is the
equal of the exterior in terms of crafted execution and visual excitement,
the XF offers a truly contemporary, luxury environment.
The coupe-like lines of the XF belie the amount of space inside: there
is room for five adults in comfort, generous interior stowage and a
boot capacity of up to 540 litres* (plus the opportunity to fold the
rear seats and add a further 420 litres).
Jaguar craftsmanship adopts a sharp new edge on the XF. Sophisticated
instrumentation, a Touch-screen, modern materials and graphics complement
new ‘surprise and delight’ features. On entry to the XF, the start button
pulses red, 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 best torsional stiffness in class delivers both refinement and
dynamic performance – underpinning the driver-focussed yet remarkably
comfortable driving experience.
The XF will be available from launch with a range of four engines,**
all featuring Jaguar's proven six-speed automatic transmission with
steering wheel-mounted 'paddles' for manual gear selection (Jaguar Sequential
ShiftTM):
Key driving 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.
The new XF has a wide portfolio of driver assistance features including
a Blind Spot Monitor, Front and Rear Parking Aids, Rear Camera Parking
Aid, Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Speed Limiter and Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. Bluetooth® compatibility, iPod®/MP3 player interfaces,
JaguarVoiceTM, Digital radio and a single or six-disc CD player ensure
owners can listen and talk as they choose.
XF offers three levels of audio system, all controlled through the
Touch-screen. The top-of-the-range Bowers & Wilkins 440w Premium Sound
System option offers extraordinary clarity and faithful sound reproduction.
Designed and tuned for the XF by Bowers & Wilkins, the surround-sound
system delivers a powerful and vivid performance.
In a first for a Jaguar saloon, the XF has the marque’s new Pedestrian
Contact Sensing System. This can mitigate pedestrian injury by firing
actuators that deploy the bonnet, resulting in a cushioned space between
the bonnet and engine hardpoints.
Three trim levels will be offered, depending on market. The Luxury
level will be available with either petrol or diesel V6 engines (and
naturally aspirated V8 models in the US), Premium Luxury (with petrol
or diesel V6, or naturally aspirated V8), and SV8 (with the supercharged
V8 petrol).
The XF is available to order now, depending on market. The first cars
will be delivered to customers in March 2008. Pricing is available from
individual markets depending on the start of customer orders.
All performance figures are manufacturer’s estimates. * With Jaguar
Tyre Repair System fitted. Volume with spare wheel is 500 litres. **
