Jaguar XF luxury cars / sports sedan

The Jaguar XF is a mid-size luxury car / sports sedan made by Jaguar Cars. It was launched in the UK in 2008 and replaced the S-Type in the company’s lineup. The production version of the XF debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The styling of the finalised production Jaguar XF varies from that of the C-XF only in a few small areas, most notably around front lights and nose, which incorporates an oval mesh grille harking back to the original XJ of 1968 and is destined to be a feature of future Jaguars.

The base model is the 3-litre V6, a heavily adapted version of the Ford Duratec V6. Two versions of the well-regarded Jaguar AJ-V8 engine are used in 4.2-litre form. There is no manual transmission option, but its six-speed automatic gearbox has been programmed to shift 10% quicker than before, and can be manually selected using paddles behind the steering wheel.

This aerodynamic performance contributes to impressively low wind noise, aids fuel consumption and strong high-speed stability and, of course, is vital in ensuring ideal handling balance through optimising drag and lift forces.
