Jaguar XF India specifications revealed

Jaguar has revealed the specifications and variants of the upcoming new XF sedan on its India website. According to the details revealed, the new XF will be available in India in three variants - Pure, Prestige, and Portfolio.

All three variants will get a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine that will churn out 177 BHP and 430 Nm of torque. Jaguar claims that this engine is capable of propelling the XF from standstill to the 100 km/h mark in 8.1 seconds. In addition to the aforementioned engine, the Prestige and Portfolio trims will also get a 2.0-litre petrol engine that develops 237 BHP and 340 Nm of torque. The XF petrol can do a 0-100 km/h sprint in 7 seconds. All variants will be equipped with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, which will transmit power to the rear wheels.

The XF will also get the 'Jaguar Drive Control' feature that provides four different driving modes - Standard, Eco, Dynamic or Rain/Ice/Snow mode. This allows the driver to alter the characteristics of the steering wheel, throttle response, and gearshift speeds depending on the driving conditions and requirements.

In terms of features on offer, the XF Pure will come with an eight-inch touch screen, 17-inch alloy wheels, bi-functional xenon headlamps and 10-way electronically adjustable front seats. The Prestige trim will add perforated leather seats and a memory function for the driver seat. The top-end Portfolio variant gets 14-way electronically adjustable front seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, and LED headlights.

The Jaguar XF will compete against the likes of the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6, and Volvo S60.
