Formed around Jaguar’s aluminium-intensive architecture, the all-new XF
will bring an unrivalled blend of design, luxury, technology, dynamic capability and efficiency to the what Jaguar call
the business car segment.
Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar, said: “I believe the all-new XF is the best looking car in its class.
Elegant, handsome and with proportions that imbue a great sense of integrity – the all-new XF is true to the great
tradition of sporting Jaguar saloons while being completely of its time.”
The all-new XF’s dynamic design 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.
The all-new XF range will consist of: XF Prestige, XF R-Sport, XF Portfolio and XF S.
The powertrain range will consist of: 132kW 2.0-litre diesel automatic; 177kW 2.0-litre petrol automatic; 221kW diesel
automatic; 250kW and 280kW 3.0-litre petrol automatic.
Manufactured in England at Jaguar Land Rover’s Castle Bromwich Plant, the all-new XF joins the Jaguar saloon car range
between the exciting new XE and XJ model lines.
All-new Jaguar XF - a quick outline

in its class
- All-Surface Progress Control enables smooth, effortless drive-away on low-friction surfaces such as snow and ice –
all the driver has to do is steer
- The all-new XF offers a host of additional technology including full-LED headlights, a laser head-up display which
delivers high-contrast colour images, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with queue-assist, lane
keep-assist, intelligent speed limiter and semi-automated parking

In further detail
The all-new Jaguar XF brings an unrivalled blend of design, luxury, technology and efficiency to lead the business car
segment, underpinned by class-leading driving dynamics and refinement.
The cabin is a seamless blend of contemporary luxury materials and finishes, traditional Jaguar craftsmanship and
state-of-the art technology, with features such as a reconfigurable 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster, laser head-up
display and the InControl Touch Pro premium infotainment system – the all-new XF is the most connected Jaguar ever.
The 2007 XF was a radical step forward for Jaguar – and for the business car segment. Combining a sleek exterior and a
luxurious interior, it set the class benchmark for aesthetics and driving dynamics.
Features such as the rotary shift controller, rotating air vents and phosphor blue ambient lighting set the cabin
apart from the competition and made the XF a highly desirable, aspirational vehicle. It was like nothing Jaguar had ever
made before, and like nothing the competition could offer.
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, plus 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.
The all-new Jaguar XF is 4,954mm long: at 2,960 the wheelbase is 51mm longer than before, the front overhang 66mm
shorter. Though 7mm shorter and 3mm lower than the original XF, rear seat space is class-leading thanks to 15mm more
legroom, 24mm more knee room and up to 27mm more headroom than before. Aerodynamics are also superior: the drag
coefficient drops from 0.29 to just 0.26.

The light, stiff body is also fundamental to the all-new XF’s superb vehicle dynamics. Double wishbone front
suspension and Integral Link rear suspension – combined with near-50:50 weight distribution – deliver the ideal balance
between ride and handling.
“From an engineering perspective, our targets with the all-new XF were bound by one holistic goal – it had to do
everything better, and it does”.
“It offers even better dynamics, even greater refinement for the comfort of its occupants, it delivers an all-new
infotainment system, and it utilises every last mm of packaging to maximise interior space, while exploiting all the
weight-saving optimisation offered by our new aluminium-intensive architecture. As a driver you will notice these
benefits from the moment you sit behind the wheel.” ..... Ian Hoban, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar XF.
Adopting Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) maintains Jaguar’s leadership in steering feel but also reduces fuel
consumption by up to two per cent and three per cent for diesel and petrol models respectively. EPAS also enables
functions such as camber compensation and advanced driver assistance systems including lane-keep assist, driver condition
monitoring and bay- and parallel park-assist.
Advanced passive damper technology delivers exceptional ride quality as standard through an extra valve which reduces
damping forces at low speeds. For even better control the Adaptive Dynamics system monitors body movement 100 times a
second and wheel movement 500 times a second to determine the optimum damper settings for the driving conditions.
Jaguar Configurable Dynamics technology, optional on all V6 models, provides the ultimate in control and enables the
driver to individually tailor settings of the dampers, steering, engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.
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. ASPC operates between 3.6km/h and 30km/h, and the desired speed is set by the driver using the
cruise control switches.
Infotainment and connectivity is the most advanced Jaguar has ever offered. The all-new InControl Touch Pro system
builds on the intuitive user interface of InControl Touch, and supports all the same – but offers 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 enrich the experience there’s also natural voice control, supporting commands such as ‘more like this’ for track
selection, and 10GB of the 60GB solid-state drive is dedicated to media storage, enabling Gracenote album art to be
displayed. Audio systems include the exceptional 17-speaker, 825W Meridian digital surround sound system.
To minimise driver distraction the all-new XF offers a colour laser head-up display. Compared to competitor systems,
this technology is smaller, lighter, and generates high contrast images which are easier to read in strong sunlight.
Stereo camera technology enables autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane-keep assist systems.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist takes the stress out of motorway driving in stop-go traffic by tracking the
vehicle in front, at a safe distance.
The all-new XF is also the first Jaguar to offer adaptive full-LED headlights. Featuring two banks of LEDs and
reflectors – one for dipped beam, the other for main beam – they generate light with a colour temperature closer to that
of daylight than is achievable with Xenon lights, delivering better illumination. At the same time, energy consumption is
reduced. So efficient are they that, unlike first-generation designs, cooling fans are not needed.
If the high-beam assist function is specified, the stereo camera will detect other vehicles in the distance, and the
headlights will be dipped automatically as necessary to avoid dazzling other drivers.
“Lighter and more efficient, with enhanced space, an all-new premium infotainment system, a greater breadth of
powertrains, unrivalled dynamics and refinement and, of course, world-leading design, the all-new XF offers customers
a compelling package.” ..... Steven de Ploey, Brand Director, Jaguar.
