Starting this fall, Jaguar returns in BMW 5 Series segment with the new XF, a model that was already introduced to the public on the internet and expected to make its official debut in front of an audience during this year Frankfurt Motor Show. As you would expect from a British model, the UK already knows the prices of the new Jaguar XF.
The all-new XF uses Jaguar’s aluminium-intensive architecture to enable weight savings of up to 190kg – making the 163PS diesel model 80kg lighter than the nearest competitor – plus an increase in torsional stiffness of up to 28 per cent.
The all-new XF is 4,954mm long: at 2,960 the wheelbase is 51mm longer than before, the front overhang 66mm shorter. Though 7mm shorter and 3mm lower than the original XF, rear seat space is class-leading thanks to 15mm more legroom, 24mm more kneeroom and up to 27mm more headroom than before. Aerodynamics are also superior: the drag coefficient drops from 0.29 to just 0.26.
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.
On the technology side, the all-new XF offers a host of additional gadgets including full-LED headlights, a laser head-up display which delivers high-contrast colour images, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with queue-assist, lane keep-assist, intelligent speed limiter and semi-automated parking
