2011 Jaguar XF review

Where the soul of the Jaguar sports car, the XF has won accolades and enthusiastic fans around the world for its dynamic and a dramatic look. Advances in lighting technology have enabled the new 2012 Jaguar XF range to accept a bold language project for the Jaguar XJ flagship sedan.

Changes grills bumpers, bonnet and new front triangle, side air intakes give the car a more muscular, purposeful look. XFR top of the range will have its own unique transparent design style emphasizes a potential alternative to drive performance option "aerodynamic" is available to all other derivatives, for a total of three radically different style options.

The headlights now include bi-xenon HID technology base that allows them to be much thinner and more compact, while providing exceptional resolution of the beam. It also includes LED daytime running lights arranged in a "pattern distinctive signature Jaguar J-Blade for instant identification.

The rear lights have been completely renovated and now extend across the central part of the trunk lid. These new units are all functions of LED brake light and indicator and the Jaguar XF to give a distinctive signature night in the back. Among them is a revised start finishing it off with a black border for a cleaner polish. The boot also includes the closure of energy in all models.

Three new colors and a wider range of alloy wheel from 17 to 20 inches provide the finishing touch to the style of the review.

"The XF has been rightly recognized as a Jaguar sedan quintessence. It is concentrated and elegant, with the intention inherent in sports design. For the latest version, we were able to develop and improve the performance characteristics that make them more visually XF car dynamics in its class. "Ian Callum, Design Director of Jaguar Cars



Jaguar XF Powertrain and dynamic

Key among the improvements to the Jaguar XF is the introduction of the 2.2-liter turbodiesel engine-i4D AJ. The device has low friction pistons, and a water-cooled turbocharger to increase efficiency and more active engine mounts and changes in the housing and the block to reduce NVH levels. The result is not only the Jaguar engine more fuel efficient ever, but that offers levels of refinement up to the previously mounted diesel 2.7-liter V6 and all the performance expected of a Jaguar sports sedan. Further refinement is guaranteed for all acoustic models using additional shielding and the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics to smooth 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.

New eight-speed automatic

The engine is perfectly complemented by the new 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. Specifically designed by our engineers for its first application in a Jaguar, the transmission offers a number of benefits, both better acceleration and economy. Gear changes are completed in just 200 milliseconds - four times faster than the average human resting heart rate - while the driver's control improves the ability to perform multiple paddle downshifts technology. The use of lightweight materials ensures that the total weight is the same as the previous six-speed transmission, while improving the design of the pump and the speed control to increase the efficiency of the elements. All models Jaguar XF Diesel, which reduces CO2 emissions 3.0-liter V6 engine with 169g/km and improves fuel consumption of 44.8mpg.


Smart Stop / Start

He also made his debut with the 2.2 liter diesel engine is new Jaguar Smart Stop / Start, the first time that this technology is a luxury sedan in diesel. This automatically cuts the engine in just 300 milliseconds when the vehicle stops, to improve fuel economy and CO2 emissions of 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 the diesel options are also available with Jaguar's Adaptive Dynamics system, which allows the driver to enjoy the enthusiastic excellent control of the car body and find the sporting spirit of the Jaguar XF.

Jaguar XF Interior

Whether we consider the driver or passenger, the passenger in the Jaguar XF is a unique welcoming and elegant to spend time using high quality materials in a truly modern.

Continuing with dramas like "surprise and delight features that the Jaguar unit of selection, which rises from the center console and air vents that rotate to the open position when the start button is pressed, the Jaguar XF Interior also received a complete update.


New seats and instruments

Revised front and rear seats feature a "wheel", as well as back and back, which not only improves its appearance, but also the support that gives the home with the addition of profile. Hide the new color combinations, rolled, and headlining the choices to add customization options available to buyers. All models benefit from reviewing the colors in the center console, dashboard and steering wheel with Finish "Tungsten", replaced by a more contemporary theme "Aurora".

The Jaguar XF combines an enormous amount of technology, but in true Jaguar style fits perfectly into the operation of the vehicle and touch screen controlled by a central seven-inch with a polarizing filter to see the best of a new contrast.

In order to reduce the workload of the driver, most switches have been added over the touch screen to quickly switch between different functions at the same time as the new flagship XJ Jaguar-based graphics. The main instrument is now in color TFT unit of greater precision and clarity.

The advanced

Three audio systems are offered new Jaguar XF, which represent a major upgrade of the previously available. Title of this date is 1200 W, 17-speaker premium facility, the British audio specialists Bowers & Wilkins, which is a little 'sound like a concert hall.

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 driving Jaguar interactive voice feature, which provides an intuitive, secure, hands-free.
