Using similar to the mechanics of the S-Type, Jaguar's brand new model enters its first generation with time relevant styling, bold headlights and an array of features to rival the very best.
XF models are available in a wide selection of trim including SE, Luxury, Premium Luxury, Portfolio, SV8 and R. All offer their very own unique features to the table. Options include memory seats, leather upholstery, sunroof, navigation, Bluetooth, paddle shift gearbox, multi-function steering wheel, media inputs, multi-zone climate control, trip control, keyless start and much more.
XFR models have a different front bumper, rear spoiler and 20-inch rims.
Safety features include ABS, multiple airbags, parking sensors, reverse camera, traction and stability control.
In 2011, the XF received a minor refresh which includes front and back styling cues from the Jaguar C-XF concept car. Adaptive cruise control and new interior trim were added to the list of options.
2012 saw the introduction of the Sportbrake model or estate body style. These models not only hold a larger capacity of goods but increase rear headroom buy 48 mm. Rear seats can be folded remotely, and roof rails are attached on top.
XFR-S models joined the lineup in 2012 as a hardcore version of the already potent R version. These models are equipped with a larger rear spoiler, carbon fibre, enlarged front grills and exclusive 20-inch rims on each corner. The suspension is 30% stiffer and mounted at the rear is a new diffuser and quad exhaust tips.
There are three engine choices available. A 3-litre V6, 4.2-litre V8 and another V8 4.2-litre with a supercharger attached for more grunt. With outputs ranging from 238 to 416 horsepower, the engines are all controlled by a six-speed automatic in GCC trim. Towards the end of the life cycle, a six-speed manual transmission was added.
Overseas, many other engine options are available including a 5-litre supercharged V8, and even an inline four-cylinder turbocharged not to mention another supercharged 3-litre as well. All-wheel drive is available in select regions instead of the rear-wheel drive train.
