2016 Jaguar XF Review - CarAdvice
As a result, the new car is lighter by 190kg and stiffer by 28 per cent, allowing for better dynamics and ride control, according to Jaguar. It’s also more aerodynamic, with an exceptionally low Cd of just 0. 26 (down from 0. 29) – exactly the same as the smaller XE. Design-wise, it’s an all-round tougher look, though not at the expense of the previous model’s much loved elegance. In fact, Jaguar’s acclaimed director of design, Ian Callum, is already trumpeting the new XF as, “The most visually dynamic business car in the segment”. Though I’d argue the rear styling doesn’t quite have the same presence as the XF’s unmistakable Jaguar nose. Although shorter in length than the old car, the latest XF rides on a longer wheelbase, said to improve ride comfort as well as provide considerably more rear passenger space. Nor have they affected the car’s coupe-like design, thanks to the rear bench being set lower than on the previous version. The new XF range will be available in four trim levels: XF Prestige, XF R-Sport, XF Portfolio and XF S, although pricing and specification for Australian cars won’t be finalised until closer to the car’s local launch in late November.
