Jaguar XF

Resolutely true to the Jaguar philosophy of creating Beautiful, Fast cars, the Jaguar XF goes further, adding a new dimension to the marque. The new Jaguar XF: a dramatic expression of a bold new Jaguar design language, with a driving experience that exceeds expectations created by the striking appearance: relaxed and confident, with outstanding ability and control. This is the beginning of a new era for Jaguar. Challenging convention and setting its own rules, the new Jaguar XF fuses the style and performance of a sports car with the refinement, space and sophistication of a luxury saloon.

Every XF model has shift-by-wire transmission control, with Jaguar's class-leading sequential shift system-its popularity already confirmed by feedback from XK sports car customers used for the first time in a saloon. Engineering excellence and attention to detail mean the Jaguar XF's interior matches the best-in-class for refinement, while Jaguar's intelligent use of technology and driver-friendly Touch-screen controls add new layers of comfort and ease of use. As well as space, the new Jaguar XF's interior ambience is enriched by crafted, luxurious materials, sophisticated instruments and calm interior mood lighting. The four-door XF has the visual excitement of a coupe, but room inside for five adults to enjoy an interior wholly contemporary in style yet uniquely Jaguar.

But the most exciting feature of the Jaguar XF's transmission control is the all-new JaguarDrive SelectorTM - an industry-first rotary There are also multiple JaguarDrive ControlTM transmission modes, including Dynamic and Winter settings, which interact with throttle progression, Dynamic Stability Control thresholds and shift strategy to match mood and conditions. The Jaguar Sequential ShiftTM System gives the driver the option of one-touch manual gearchange control via steering-wheel mounted paddles. Shift-by-wire replaces manual shift linkages with electronic commands and gives every XF rapid and very smooth gearshifts-faster, even, than the acclaimed XK's transmission.

Jaguar should be immensely proud of its achievement." "We're proud to say Despite being the cheapest of the three, Auto Express described the car as "brilliant: superbly designed inside out, as well as fantastic to drive in all conditions and cost effective to buy and run. In a three-way Auto Express group test against the Mercedes E280 CDI and BMW 525 M Sport, the 2.7 diesel version of the XF again emerged triumphant. We're back." What Car isn't alone in praising the new Jag over its executive peers. Accepting the award, Jaguar and Land Rover managing director Mike O'Driscoll said, "This marks a very special day for Jaguar.

The magazine singled out in particular the way the XF out-drives the previously unbeatable BMW 5 Series, which is saying something, but also manages to be more supple on poor surfaces. This is even more of an achievement when set against the backdrop of uncertainty over Jaguar's future, with the sale of the company by owners Ford now imminent - most likely to Indian motor group Tata. Yet its replacement for the retro styled S-Type was considered to have beaten the best the company's German rivals could offer. Jaguar is a mere cottage industry alongside the mighty Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

What Car stipulate that the winner of the award "must have done more than anything else from the past 12 months to move things on". The new Jaguar XF has won the coveted What Car magazine Car of the Year 2008 award, beating off stiff competition from rivals BMW and Mercedes.
