Jaguar in London, the cloth is pulled from the brand new XF. This builds on the design of the previous XF, but also shows clear family characteristics with the XE.
Compared to its predecessor, the Jaguar XF is somewhat smaller: the XF now measure 4,95 meters and that is 7 millimetres shorter than before. You don’t see that often, usually, the cars are every generation gets a lot bigger. The short wheelbase, however, slightly increased, you will be in the interior nothing at all brands of the slightly more compact external dimensions. On the contrary, Jaguar promises that the new XF on the inside is wider than the previous one. More important is that the weight considerably down has gone, the new XF weighs more than 190 pounds less than its predecessor.
Aluminium is the magic word, up to 75 percent of the structure of the auto consists of this alloy. Not only is the Jaguar XF considerably lighter than its predecessor, the new aluminium frame makes the car a 28 percent stiffer. According to Jaguar, it makes the car more dynamic and more comfortable. The weight is almost 50/50, undoubtedly.
Jaguar has done a lot to the aerodynamics of the new XF as low as possible, to get. That results in an impressive cW-value of 0,26. That results, in combination with the most economical engine-a 163 bhp diesel engine – in a fuel consumption of 4 litres per 100 kilometres. You can use this four-cylinder Ignium-motor with 180 hp, more fun with the 300 hp biturbo diesel with less than 700 Nm of torque.
Who still can not get used to diesels in a noble Brit, relieved breath. Also to gasoline engines is enough choice. Boarding can in the 2.0 turbo with 240 hp and 340 Nm. In addition, you can the XF also get with the V6 Supercharged that we know from the F-Type. Just like in that gorgeous sports car, this engine in the XF with a choice of 340 or 380 hp. A V8 is not yet on the list of options, but do not be surprised if Jaguar at a later time an XF R and XFR-S presents with the 5.0 V8.
The standard XF with rear-wheel drive, but permanent four-wheel drive is available as an option. This system works with what Jaguar ‘Torque on Demand’ refers to the traction forces to the wheels are sent that need it most.
The new Jaguar XF is starting this fall at the Dutch dealers.
