The Jaguar XF gives sports car styling and performance with refinement, features and space of a premium luxury segment. Contemporary, individual, and expertly crafted, the XF cover the Jaguar philosophy of creating beautiful, fastest cars and makes a new driving experience Sporting and Luxury car. In 2009, Jaguar expands the XF range to introduce the wild range of the 510bhp XFR. New engine and trim levels are in additions to it. XF is the first expression of Jaguar’s new style in premium saloon car. The five seated car is specious, good storage spaces and a boot capacity up to 540 liters, Boot space and practicality is much improved. 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted paddles for manual gear shift. The shape of finalized production XF varies from the older versions of XF, the key note changes is around the front lights and nose. The body of the car developed using the technology Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology. Each of the outer area to be lightweight, composite under tray to the cooling airflow (even the exterior mirrors too) was optimized using this process. The basic structure of the XF has been carried over from the S-Type chassis. The suspension and frames are the same as that used on the XK, also the engine line-up is basically similar to that used in the S-Type. The sounds and vibrations of the vehicle are absorbed by an underbody, engine mounts and a tuned exhaust system.
