Introducing: The All-new Jaguar XF

The cabin is a seamless blend of contemporary luxury materials and finishes, traditional Jaguar craftsmanship and state-of-the art technology, with features such as a reconfigurable 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster, laser head-up display and the InControl Touch Pro premium infotainment system – the all-new XF is the most connected Jaguar ever.

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 new XF’s four- and six-cylinder Euro 6 diesel and petrol engines are engineered for exceptional response, smoothness and efficiency, and all benefit from benefit from stop-start systems and smart regenerative charging. Characterized by a rapid build-up of torque from low speeds to give effortless acceleration, the linear throttle response and refined soundtrack of each one makes the driving experience as intuitive as it is rewarding. From the 104g/km 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel powering the rear wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission to the 380PS supercharged 3.0-litre V6 driving its rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic, the all-new XF offers a truly remarkable breadth of performance and capability.

Jaguar has once again set the benchmark in the executive segment with the all-new XF. Developed from a clean sheet using Jaguar’s aluminium-intensive architecture, the second generation of Jaguar’s most awarded car delivers even better proportions, more interior space and a progressive, highly streamlined form.

The more vertical front end, shorter front overhang, longer wheelbase and a sixth-light with characteristic daylight opening graphic signify the evolution of the Jaguar design language launched on the original XF in 2007. All-new XF now takes its rightful place between the mid-size XE and the luxury XJ saloons.

The interior of the XF has always attracted praise, especially the start-up sequence bringing the car to life as the rotary gear selector rises up from the centre console and the air vents rotate into position. The brief was to retain that sense of occasion – and the strong, simple lines and horizontal feel of the instrument panel – but mature the design language and the use of materials, befitting the all-new XF’s status now that XE is in position as the entry-level Jaguar sports saloon.

The layered instrument panel, now with Jaguar signature ‘Riva Hoop’ inspired by XJ, continues into the door, creating a unique cabin feel. This is enhanced by the generous application of veneers such as Gloss Figured Ebony and textured aluminium trim such as Dark Hex.

With options such as the reconfigurable, 12.3-inch full-TFT instrument cluster and 10.2-inch touchscreen, four-zone climate control, 10-colour ambient lighting, Black Suedecloth headliner and fluted Windsor leather seats, the all-new XF resets the standard for interior luxury and design.
