Jaguar XF & Jaguar C-XF
The Jaguar XF is a mid-size luxury automobile / sports sedan that will substitute the S-Type in the British car manufacturer Jaguar Cars lineup. The production version of the Jaguar XF debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, with client deliveries arrange to start in March 2008, depending on the market.
In UK alone there have been over 3,000 preorders which makes it a very succesful vehicle before it even gets to the showrooms. Experts are predicting that this car will have a very high resale value.
Currently the following XF models are available in the UK:
* 2.7-litre V6 Diesel
* 3.0-litre V6 Petrol
* 4.2-litre Naturally Aspirated V8 Petrol
* 4.2-litre Supercharged V8 Petrol
The XF model was designed and engineered in Whitley, Coventry and is being built in Castle Bromwich.
The basic 3.0 litre model starts at £32,925 while the most expensive 4.2 litre SV8 costs £53,925.
Jaguar C-XF Concept
Although the C-XF features four doors, its shape is very much that of a coupé, abiding by a designing style began by the already victorious Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. Jaguar acknowledges this approach will limit the potential market for the car, but the believing within Jaguar is that its actual woes are down to an overly ambitious, poorly planned to turn Jaguar into a large-volume rival for BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. Therefore, rather than making the 200,000 cars per year, mooted at the turn of the century it will aim for fairly less than 100,000, converting Jaguar into an exclusive, low-volume producer of high-quality premium sport cars.
