Jaguar XF 2.0 i4D 180 R Sport (2015) review - CAR Magazine

? First drive review of 2016 Jaguar XF. ? Second-gen model: new chassis, engines. This, the all-new 2015 Jaguar XF, is slightly smaller on the outside (yet, thanks to design sleight of hand, looks larger to our eyes) yet much bigger on the inside than the first XF. this time it’s available with four-cylinder diesels from... And yet, for all its all-newness, it doesn’t half look a bit similar to the old XF. And, for that matter, its smaller Jaguar XE sibling. In more ways than one, there’s something awfully familiar about the new XF…. Is the new Jaguar XF just a stretched XE. No, not entirely, although they do have plenty in common. Both cars are based on the same scalable, aluminium-intensive platform model that underpins Jaguar’s flurry of new models, and both use the same double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear. The XF will have more in common still with the upcoming Jaguar F-Pace SUV, a car which will occupy a similar footprint. What’s the cabin like inside the new Jaguar XF. Very familiar, if you’ve been in an XE or an XJ. Same ‘Riva Hoop’ curve arcing from door to door to envelop the dash. Source: www.carmagazine.co.uk
