Jaguar had recently updated the XF and had launched it in India at a price tag of Rs 49.5 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and has seen a surge in interest for their popular sedan offering. The latest customer to gets his hand on an XF is the Bollywood actor Boman Irani.
Interestingly, while most A-list celebrities happen to opt for one of the big three German brands which is Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Jaguar XF seems to be catching the fancy of stars now.
In terms of exterior styling, the new XF comes with adaptive LED headlights featuring Jaguar’s signature 'J' blade Daytime Running Lights. The quality of LED light is close to daylight that helps in distinguishing objects more easily and reducing fatigue at night. At the rear, XF's tail lights feature the Jaguar F-TYPE inspired, double roundel and intersecting horizontal detail. The sweeping exterior design is claimed to be naturally aerodynamic which is due to design elements like the boot lid's height and pitch, as well as its overall curvature and subtle spoiler, are designed to reduce drag and increase downforce.
Inside the Jaguar XF, the number of switches and buttons is kept to a minimum to keep the look clean and tidy, as well as making them easy to use. Materials used are claimed to be of the highest quality. Compared with the previous generation XF, rear knee-room has been increased by 24 mm and rear leg-room has increased by 15 mm. The car also comes with configurable mood lighting inside the cabin.
The biggest change for the updated XF has been under the hood, where the new Ingenium 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged Diesel engine sits. It delivers a power output of 177 horsepower. Ingenium is Jaguar Land Rover's new breed of engines designed for effortless performance, refinement and efficiency. The Ingenium diesel engine is up to 20 kilos lighter than equivalent previous generation engines, making it more efficient as well.
The new XF also has a petrol engine powered sibling – a turbocharged 4-cylinder unit that delivers 237 horsepower.
