Full technical and range specifications released 01 April

(Whitley, Coventry – 24 March 2015): The all-new Jaguar XF has been revealed during a

dramatic ‘high-wire’ water crossing in the heart of London’s business district.

Expert British stunt man Jim Dowdall, veteran of Hollywood movies including Bond, Bourne

and Indiana Jones, drove the all-new Jaguar XF 240 metres across a high-wire to

demonstrate the new XF’s lightweight aluminium-intensive construction. The new XF is

80kgs lighter than its closest competitor, resulting in best-in-class efficiency (over 70mpg)

and CO2 (104g/km).

The feat took place high over the Royal Dock in London’s Canary Wharf. Footage of the

drive can be viewed here: jaguar.co.uk/newxf

The all-new XF brings an unrivalled blend of refinement, fuel economy, dynamics and design

to the business car segment. It will make its global motor show debut in New York on 1 April.

With segment-leading figures for interior space, the all-new XF’s dynamic, coupé-like design

is formed around Jaguar’s aluminium-intensive architecture and combines the outstanding

proportions, elegant surfaces and pure lines which define all Jaguar cars, with exceptionally

low aerodynamic drag.

The cabin utilises a seamless blend of contemporary luxury materials and finishes, traditional

Jaguar craftsmanship and state-of-the art technology. With features such as the new

InControl Touch Pro premium infotainment system and 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster.

“In creating the all-new XF, as a design team we have been driven by discipline, the

discipline of simplicity. Every exterior line on the XF has a clear purpose – nothing is

superfluous. Achieving that simplicity takes time and requires great determination; it’s all too

easy to add lines to a car, but much harder to add character by leaving lines out.

“Inside too, we have been driven by the desire to ensure the XF’s cabin is as comforting as it

is comfortable. New technology, including our new 10.2-inch touchscreen, is combined

carefully with materials that cosset and reassure. The all-new XF has a clear sense of calm

and strength, both outside and inside – and I’m proud of my team for delivering that.”

Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar

The original XF’s sleek exterior and luxurious interior made it a desirable, aspirational

vehicle. Combined with benchmark driving dynamics, the XF was like nothing else in the

segment and has gone on to become Jaguar’s most-awarded car.

The all-new XF retains its predecessor’s core attributes but uses Jaguar’s advanced

aluminium-intensive architecture to elevate them to a completely new level. Featuring 75 per

cent aluminium, the architecture enables weight savings of up to 190kg over the outgoing

model and an increase in torsional stiffness of up to 28 per cent.

The architecture also delivers dramatic improvements in packaging and the proportions so

essential to Jaguar design. Though 7mm shorter and 3mm lower than the car it replaces, the

all-new XF’s 2,960mm wheelbase is 51mm longer, enabling class-leading rear seat space

with more legroom, kneeroom and headroom.

The efficiency gains inherent in the lightweight aluminium construction are complemented by

the all-new XF’s refined, powerful engine range. The 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engines are

available in 163PS/380Nm and 180PS/430Nm ratings and are offered with specially-

optimised six-speed manual- and eight-speed automatic transmissions. In 163PS manual

form, the all-new XF delivers 104g/km CO2 and is the lightest, most efficient non-hybrid diesel

model in the segment – 80kg lighter than its closest competitor.

All other engines are matched exclusively to eight-speed automatic transmissions. The 3.0-

litre V6 twin-turbo diesel benefits from a host of advanced technologies which boost

efficiency and refinement still further, and raise output to 300PS and a remarkable 700Nm of

torque. Also available is the renowned 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine with

380PS/450Nm torque.

The light, stiff bodystructure is also fundamental to the all-new XF’s superb vehicle dynamics.

The sophisticated double wishbone and Integral Link suspension – combined with near-

50:50 weight distribution – delivers the ideal balance between agility, comfort and refinement.

Incorporating all of the learning from F-TYPE and XE, the meticulously-tuned Electric Power

Assisted Steering (EPAS) maintains the XF’s benchmark steering feel and response – and

contributes to the all-new XF’s outstanding fuel economy.

Advanced passive damper technology delivers exceptional ride comfort as standard, but for

even better control the Adaptive Dynamics system determines the optimum damper settings

for the driving conditions.

Jaguar Configurable Dynamics, first developed for F-TYPE, provides the ultimate in control

and enables the driver to individually tailor settings of the dampers, steering, engine and

eight-speed automatic transmission.

As with XE, rear-wheel drive ability is enhanced too. All-Surface Progress Control, developed

for low-speed driving in adverse conditions, automatically manages the brakes and the

throttle to deliver the best possible traction, enabling the car to pull away smoothly and

without drama: the driver only has to steer.

Infotainment and connectivity is the most advanced Jaguar has ever offered. The all-new

InControl Touch Pro system features a 10.2-inch touchscreen and Dual View technology

which simultaneously allows the driver to see information such as navigation, while the front

seat passenger watches TV or a DVD.

To handle the enormous amounts of data, InControl Touch Pro features a solid-state drive

and a quad-core processor, and runs on state-of-the-art, ultra-fast Ethernet – a next-

generation network offering exceptional data transfer rates. Combined, they deliver incredible

graphics, fast response times and truly exceptional performance.

Complementing InControl Touch Pro is a reconfigurable 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster.

Jaguar Land Rover pioneered this technology with the XJ and Range Rover and is now

bringing it to the business car segment.

To make every journey safer and even more relaxing, the all-new XF offers a wide range of

advanced driver assistance systems, and is also the first Jaguar to offer full-LED headlights.

The all-new aluminium-intensive Jaguar XF will be manufactured at Jaguar Land Rover’s

Castle Bromwich Plant alongside the all-aluminium F-TYPE and XJ.
