XF Design
A living room with the soul of a sports car from Jaguar, the XF has won the praise and enthusiastic fans around the world for its dynamic capabilities and looks spectacular. Advances in lighting technology have enabled the new XF model range in 2012 to adopt the bold design language introduced on the flagship XJ sedan.
Revisions to the sheet metal grille, hood and fenders that incorporate new triangular side vents give the car a more muscular look proactive. The high-end XFR receives its own unique design and openly stated to emphasize its performance potential, while the "aero" an alternative option is available on all other derivatives, for a total of three radically different style options.
The headlights now include bi-Xenon HID based technology that allows them to be much thinner and more compact, while providing excellent resolution of the beam. It also includes LED daytime running lights arranged in a distinctive Jaguar "signature style of J-Blade for instant identification.
The rear lights have been completely renewed and is now expanding in the central part of the tailgate. These new units are now in bright LED to stop and functions of indicators and provides a significant XF night behind the signature. Distinguishes them is a revised tailgate finisher with a lower edge glossy black for a cleaner look. The startup also stopping power on all models.
Three new paint colors and enhanced light alloy wheels range varies 17-20 inches to make adjustments to the revised design.
"The XF has been rightly recognized as a quintessential Jaguar sedan. It is intentional, but elegant, with the intention inherent in the design of sports. For the latest version we have been able to evolve and improve performance as the character car XF visually more dynamic in its class. "
Ian Callum, Design Director of Jaguar Cars
XF Powertrain and dynamic
Continues the Jaguar tradition of innovation, offering a combination of techniques to predict trends in the car.
New four-cylinder diesel
The most important improvements is the introduction of the XF 2.2-liter turbo diesel AJ-i4d. The device is a low-friction pistons and water-cooled turbocharger to increase efficiency as well as active engine mounts, and changes in the oil pan and the block to reduce NVH levels. The result is not only most of the Jaguar fuel engine ever, but it provides a level of complexity comparable to that previously installed 2.7-liter V6 diesel, and all benefits under the Jaguar sports sedan. Further development is ensured in all models by using additional acoustic protection and the use of computational fluid dynamics smooth the flow of outside air.
Power is 190PS with an impressive torque of 450 nm gives the number of muscle performance is expected for Jaguar. Reaching 60 mph in 8.0 seconds, a car to a top speed of 140 mph. However, the device still manages 52.3mpg combined EU - which is less expensive Jaguar ever - and leave only 149g/km CO2 and Euro V compliant.
The new 8-speed automatic
The engine is perfectly complemented by the all-new 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. Specially designed by our engineers for its first application in a Jaguar, the transmission offers a host of benefits, including both better acceleration and economy. The gear changes are completed in just 200 milliseconds - four times faster than the average human heart at rest - while the enhanced driver control of the ability to perform multiple downshifts using technology paddle. The use of lightweight materials ensures the total weight is the same as the previous six-speed, while the improved design of the pump and gear controls increase efficiency. Standard on all diesel XF, it reduces CO2 emissions 3.0-liter V6 to 169g/km and improves fuel consumption 44.8mpg.
Intelligent Stop / Start
He also made a debut with a 2.2 liter diesel Jaguar new intelligent Stop / Start system, the first time this technology was seen as a premium diesel sedan. This automatically cuts the engine, just 300 milliseconds, when the vehicle stops in order to improve fuel economy and CO2 emissions by between five and seven percent.
No driver intervention is necessary, the engine management software analyzes a multitude of complex factors, to determine whether the motor can be stopped safely. A starter solenoid in parallel with a dedicated secondary battery immediately start the engine when the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal, make sure it works better when the accelerator is pressed. To facilitate this process, the characteristics of impulse transmission hydraulic storage, which supplies oil pressure to drive the change of elements.
For the first time, all versions are available with diesel Jaguar system of dynamic adaptation, allowing the enthusiast driver to enjoy a car chassis control and exceptional sports to discover the soul of the XF.
XF Interior
That driver or passenger, the passenger in the XF is a unique and stylish nice to spend time with high quality materials in a very contemporary.
Continued function such dramatic "surprise and delight" features that Jaguar drive selector, which rises from the center console and air vents that rotate in their open position when the starter button is pushed, the XF interior has also had a major update.
Seating and new equipment
Revised front and rear seats incorporate a "suspension" function on the two pigeons and the case that not only improves their appearance but also the support it provides in enhancing the safety profile. New color combination to hide, veneer and choice headlining increased customization options available to buyers. All models benefit from a review of the system of color on the center console, dashboard and steering wheel, where Finish "Tungsten" is replaced by a more modern theme of 'Aurora'.
The XF offers an incredible amount of technology, but the Jaguar style fits perfectly into the operation of the vehicle and touch screen controlled by a central seven-inch with a new polarizing filter to see a better contrast.
To reduce the workload of the driver switches have been added over the touch screen to switch instantly between different functions, while the new charts are based on those of the Jaguar XJ flagship. The main instrument cluster driver is now a complete color TFT with a higher resolution and clarity.
Advanced technology
Three new audio systems offered on the XF, which all represent a major update of the previously available. At the head of this is a 1200W, 17-speaker premium development of the British audio specialists Bowers & Wilkins, offering concerts, like sound reproduction.
All audio systems can be specified with a hard disk navigation system that integrates satellite unit multichanger "virtual" CD that allows the owner to 'rip' CD 10 at a time in memory for the car and play as if it were a physical medium term music. Now, the system also offers a number of different options for connecting MP3 players, two USB ports, one of which is specific iPod and Bluetooth connectivity that allows music to be heard from a smartphone.
Most of the functions of the car can also be controlled from the driver's seat by the Jaguars interactive voice feature that provides an intuitive interface for safe, hands free.
