A saloon with the soul of a Jaguar sports car, the XF has won accolades and enthusiastic fans across the world for its dynamic abilities and dramatic appearance. Advances in lighting technology have allowed the new 2012 Jaguar XF model range to adopt the daring Jaguar style language introduced on the flagship XJ saloon.

Sheetmetal revisions to the grille, bonnet and front wings incorporating new triangular facet vents provide the car a a lot of muscular, purposeful look. The range-topping XFR receives its own distinctive, overtly assertive design to underline its performance potential whereas another 'Aerodynamic' possibility is available on all different derivatives for a complete of 3 dramatically different styling choices.

The headlamps now incorporate bi-function HID xenon technology that allows them to be much slimmer and a lot of compact whereas still providing outstanding beam resolution. They conjointly incorporate LED daytime running lights organized in an exceedingly distinctive Jaguar 'J-Blade' signature pattern for immediate recognition.

The hind lights are entirely renewed and now extend onto the central portion of the boot lid. These new units are now full-LED for stop, light and indicator functions and offer the Jaguar XF a distinctive night-time rear signature. Separating them could be a revised boot lid finisher with a gloss black lower edge for a cleaner appearance. The boot conjointly features power closure on all models.
3 new paint colours and an expanded alloy wheel selection ranging from 17 to 20-in. provide the finishing touches to the revised styling.

'The XF has rightly been recognised as a quintessential Jaguar saloon. It is purposeful however elegant, with inherent sporting intent in its style. For the newest version we are in a position to evolve and enhance that performance character to form the XF the most visually dynamic car in its class." Ian Callum, Design Director, Jaguar Cars

Jaguar XF Powertrain and Dynamics

Key among the enhancements to Jaguar XF is that the introduction of the 2.two-litre AJ-i4D turbodiesel engine. The unit features low-friction pistons and a water-cooled turbocharger to increase efficiency plus active engine mounts and modifications to the sump and block to cut back NVH levels. The result's not only Jaguar's most fuel-economical engine ever, but one which offers levels of refinement on a par with the previously-fitted two.7-litre V6 diesel and every one the performance expected of a Jaguar sports saloon. Further refinement is assured on all models by the employment of further acoustic shielding and the utilization of computational fluid dynamics to smooth exterior airflow.

Power output is 190PS with an impressive torque figure of 450Nm to produce the muscular performance expected of a Jaguar. Reaching 60mph in eight.zero seconds, the automobile can persist to attain a top speed of 140mph. Nevertheless the unit still manages 52.3mpg on the EU combined cycle - creating it the most economical Jaguar ever - and emits simply 149g/km of CO2 and is Euro Stage V compliant.

New eight-speed automatic

The engine is perfectly complemented by the all-new 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox. Specifically adapted by our engineers for its 1st-time application in a Jaguar, the transmission offers a bunch of advantages as well as both improved acceleration and economy. Gearchanges are completed in just 200 milliseconds - four times faster than the average human resting heartbeat - while driver control is enhanced by the ability to perform multiple downshifts using the paddleshift technology. The use of light-weight materials ensures the weight remains the identical because the previous six-speed transmission, while improved pump design and kit control elements increase efficiency. Standard on all Jaguar XF diesel models, it reduces the CO2 emissions of the 3.zero-litre V6 to 169g/km and improves fuel consumption to forty four.8mpg.

Intelligent Stop/Start

Also making its debut with the 2.a pair of-litre diesel engine is Jaguar's new Intelligent Stop/Start system, the first time this technology has been seen in a very premium diesel saloon. This automatically shuts down the engine in just 300 milliseconds when the automobile involves rest, so as to boost fuel economy and CO2 emissions by between five and seven percent.

No driver intervention is important, with the engine management software analysing a host of advanced factors so as to decide when the engine will safely be stopped. A Tandem Solenoid Starter with an infatuated secondary battery instantly restarts the engine as the motive force's foot leaves the brake pedal, guaranteeing it's running optimally when the accelerator is pressed. In order to facilitate this method, the gearbox features Hydraulic Impulse Storage, which supplies oil pressure to actuate the shift components.

For the primary time, all diesel variants are also accessible with Jaguar's Adaptive Dynamics system, allowing the enthusiastic driver to relish the automobile's outstanding chassis control and discover the Jaguar XF's sporting soul.

Jaguar XF Interior

Whether experienced from the driving force or passenger seat, the cabin of the Jaguar XF could be a uniquely welcoming and trendy place in which to spend time, using high-end materials in a really up to date manner.

Continuing to feature such dramatic 'surprise and delight' elements because the Jaguar Drive Selector that rises from the centre console and air vents that rotate to their open position when the starter button is pressed, the Jaguar XF interior has conjointly received a comprehensive update.

New seats and instruments

Revised front and rear seats incorporate a 'hoop' feature on each squab and backrest that improves not only their look but additionally the support it offers by increasing the seat's profile. New hide colour mixtures, veneers and headlining choices increase the personalisation options accessible to buyers. All models benefit from a revision to the colour theme on the centre console, fascia and steering wheel where the 'Tungsten' end is replaced by a additional contemporary 'Aurora' theme.

The Jaguar XF incorporates a formidable amount of technology however in true Jaguar fashion it is integrated seamlessly into the operate of the car and controlled through a central seven-in. Bit-screen with a new polarising filter for better distinction viewing.

So as to reduce driver workload, further switches have been added below the Touch-screen to instantly switch between completely different functions whereas new graphics are based on those in Jaguar's flagship XJ. The main driver instrument cluster is currently a full-color TFT unit for greater resolution and clarity.

Cutting-edge technology

3 new audio systems are offered on the Jaguar XF, all of which represent a important upgrade on those previously out there. Heading this up is a 1200W, 17-speaker premium set-up, from British audio experts Bowers & Wilkins, that offers concert hall-like sound replica.

All audio systems can be specified with a arduous-drive based satellite navigation system that incorporates a 'virtual' CD multichanger allowing the owner to 'rip' ten CDs at a time into the automotive's memory storage and play them as if they were a physical music medium. The system additionally now offers a number of various choices for connecting MP3 players; 2 USB ports, one in every of which is iPod specific and Bluetooth connectivity that enables music to be streamed from a smartphone.

The majority of the automobile's functions can also be controlled from the driving force's seat by Jaguar's Interactive Voice functionality, that provides an intuitive interface for safe, hands-free operation.
