2011 and 2012 Jaguar XF Is The First Sporting Luxury Sedan

Review 2011 and 2012 Jaguar XF

The profile is unique athletic and assertive, the dramatic lines of a coupe enveloping a spacious cabin with four doors and seating for five adults. And the styling is underpinned by the strength of Jaguar engineering and the latent power of the 2011 Jaguar XF dynamic character. Its looks will engage you emotionally, and its driver-focused engineering will do the rest. The 2011 Jaguar XF: a shape that re-draws the boundaries, a striking Jaguar in a long line of beautiful, fast cars. Its abilities defined by proportion long, low and wide, the Jaguar XF clearly has muscle below its softly contoured skin. The strong grille creates a distinctive signature, emphasizing a broad, solid stance. The low nose, sweeping roofline and powerful shoulders add visual dynamism a promise of performance even when the 2011 Jaguar XF is standing still. And the detailing is exquisite and subtle, from the woven mesh of the grille to the dramatically sculpted light clusters; from the side power vents to the large alloy wheels.

The Jaguar XF represents a relaxed, confident and luxurious design supported by outstanding ability, control and performance. This is Sporting Luxury. Inside the spacious interior Jaguar craftsmanship abounds in the exquisite materials and a relentless attention to detail; wood veneer next to textured aluminum and handcrafted leather highlighted by twin-needle stitching. At the heart of the Jaguar XF fascia, a 7 inch Touch-screen controls most major functions, reducing buttons to a discreet panel below the navigation screen. The XF’s Jaguar Drive Selector sets the automotive standard for automatic transmission control. Its rotary action is positive and intuitive. The compact design creates space for more technological comforts such as iPod® or MP3 player connectivity.

Many features remain hidden until they are actually needed the 2011 Jaguar XF automatic climate control system includes rotating vents that roll quietly and smoothly out of sight when not in use. At night, Phosphor blue halo illumination takes its cues from contemporary design. And the same soothing hue highlights the aluminum-faces of the XF’s instruments.

Jaguar’s intelligent use of technology and driver-friendly Touch-screen controls

JaguarSense automatically activates the front interior lights and glove box release. And the
optional JaguarVoice controls many features simply by asking. The optional Blind Spot Monitor
takes much of the uncertainty out of lane changing, while available front and rear parking aids make maneuvering easier. Choose the XF’s rear camera and objects that may have been obscured when reversing can now be more easily seen.

The Jaguar Smart Key keyless entry system standard on Premium Luxury and Supercharged models– is a thoughtful feature that combines convenience with ease of use. Approach the 2011 Jaguar XF with its Jaguar Smart Key, pull the door release, and the system triggers the security-protected opening. Intuitive simplicity in action. Inside, Jaguar intuition continues. Press the start button and the
JaguarDrive Selector rises softly – into the palm of your hand, which can now select driving
positions. As the Jaguar XF starts, the rotating vents turn silently from their flush, parked position to
their functional open position, and the navigation system scrolls to its home page. The 2011 Jaguar XF is ready to be experienced.

Every level of the 2011 Jaguar XF audio system features full iPod and MP3 connectivity with available function control through the 7 inch Touchscreen, and includes at least eight speakers plus a subwoofer. The optional Bowers & Wilkins 440W surround sound system is designed in association with one of the audio industry’s most respected specialists, who understand sound as deeply as Jaguar understands engineering. Like Jaguar, Bowers & Wilkins pride themselves on their critically acclaimed craftsmanship. Admired by audiophiles, artists and recording engineers alike, their signature Kevlar® mid-range drivers and specially designed aluminumdome tweeters complete a sound system tuned by Bowers & Wilkins’ acoustic experts specifically for the Jaguar XF. The system features a remote
amplifier with Dolby® ProLogic® II surround sound and 13 speakers plus subwoofer.

Jaguar knows that at the heart of a great car is a great engine. The Jaguar XF 4.2-liter V8s are compact and light, but big on performance and refinement, both engines featuring all-aluminum construction, variable camshaft phasing, four overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. The naturally aspirated V8 develops 300 bhp and 310 lb-ft of torque, with wonderful refinement, deep character and effortless performance. The supercharged version uses a rotor-type supercharger, driven from the crankshaft and with helical rotor gears for low noise and coated rotors for high efficiency. It develops an incredible 420 bhp, and up to 413 lb-ft of torque. That is the real beauty of mechanically driven supercharging massive torque and instant, linear responses.

The 2011 Jaguar XF six-speed automatic transmission has superb characteristics. The exceptionally rapid fully adaptive shift system responds to both road conditions and the way the car is driven, to give the smoothest gear shifts and optimum performance. The XF’s JaguarDrive Selector adds another layer of driver-centered sophistication precise and intuitive control by using new generation shift-by-wire technology. It offers fully automatic shifting in Drive or Sport modes, and one-touch manual selection through the XF’s Jaguar Sequential Shift using F1 style paddle shifts. And the XF’s Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system opens up a series of shift modes on demand from the Winter mode to the maximum involvement Dynamic mode, exclusive to the Supercharged XF .

The 2011 Jaguar XF drives as dynamically as it looks. The body structure is light but exceptionally rigid with the strength to underpin outstanding safety credentials and the stiffness to carry a suspension whose balance of comfort and control was honed by intensive Jaguar development. For the Supercharged Jaguar XF, that includes the adaptive damping strategy of Jaguar’s Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATSTM). For every Jaguar XF it includes Servotronic variable ratio power assisted steering  providing minimum parking effort at low speeds and maximum precision at higher speeds. With wide tires, and powerful disc brakes all round. The Jaguar XF combines the comfort and refinement of a luxury sedan with the grip, balance and stability of a sports car.

If sporting is one defining word for the 2011 Jaguar XF; refined is another. The stiff structure, smooth powertrains, and careful attention to acoustic management are essential ingredients for the XF’s exceptional quietness and comfort. Outstanding aerodynamics play their part, too, with low
drag and low wind noise going hand in hand. And the XF’s V8 exhaust systems are tuned for an overtly sporty sound quality.

The 2011 Jaguar XF light but high-strength new generation steel bodyshell is shaped by Computer Aided Design to be torsionally stiff for precise handling. Two-stage Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) plus TracDSC add to this precision under various road conditions. Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), ABS anti-lock braking, Traction Control, Cornering Brake Control (CBC) and Engine Drag Control (EDR) all help optimize braking effort and reduce braking distances without sacrificing
control. And even a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) helps prevent difficult conditions from becoming dangerous ones.

These advanced active features are further complimented by sophisticated passive safety systems such as two-stage driver and front passenger airbags, side curtain airbags, Seat Weight Sensing and Occupant Position Sensing that work as needed in individual circumstances. Add to this Active Head Restraints built into the front seats, and ‘soft-landing’ technology in the seat belt retractors to soften contact with the front airbags. Of course, you may never need Jaguar’s innovative safety systems but they’re there to deploy if you ever do.

The 2011 Jaguar XF is a unique vehicle that can be further tailored to your individual style and needs. The key choices of trim and equipment level, the color range, the leathers and veneers, the exact style and size of alloy wheels the Jaguar XF can be customized to your specifications. And when it comes to equipment and accessories, that is your choice, too – literally from the seats you sit in to the sound system you listen to, to the way you control the specific features.
