Jaguar XF is the business

By Gerry Murphy

Jaguar Land Rover Ireland has launched the new Jaguar XF that brings an unrivalled blend of design, luxury, technology and efficiency to lead the business car segment, underpinned by class-leading driving dynamics and refinement.

They also announced a competitive entry price for the XF Business Edition of €43,205, or €459 a month with Jaguar PCP.

Designed by renowned designer, Ian Callum, it is formed around Jaguar’s aluminium-intensive architecture and combines the outstanding proportions, elegant surfaces and perfect lines which define all Jaguar cars, with a longer wheelbase, more interior space and exceptionally low aerodynamic drag.

Compared to the outgoing model that first appeared in 2008, this new car is lighter, more powerful and more aerodynamic. It will also be available with the latest technology and things that we have never seen in a car of this type ever before.

Add the luxury for which Jaguar are renowned plus new, more efficient engines with lower consumption and lower CO2 emissions and you have a car that will surely rattle a few cages in the big German car makers’ headquarters.

The cabin is a seamless blend of contemporary luxury materials and finishes, traditional Jaguar craftsmanship and state-of-the art technology.

The all-new XF retains its predecessor’s core attributes, but 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%.

The architecture also delivers dramatic improvements in packaging and the proportions so essential to Jaguar design.

The all-new XF range will consist of: XF Business Edition, XF Prestige, XF R-Sport, XF Portfolio.

The powertrain range will consist of: 163PS and 180PS 2.0-litre diesel manual and automatic; 240PS 2.0-litre petrol automatic; 300PS 3.0-litre diesel automatic; 340PS and 380PS 3.0-litre petrol automatic.

The new XF is being launched with ‘Jaguar Care’ – a three-year warranty and unlimited mileage servicing and roadside assistance package which was introduced earlier this year with the arrival of the new XE.

Manufactured at Jaguar Land Rover’s Castle Bromwich Plant, the all-new XF joins the Jaguar saloon car range between the XE and XJ model lines and is available to order from Jaguar retailers nationwide.
