New York 2015: 2016 Jaguar XF Arrives

Published: March 31st, 2015

Fresh from its high-wire act over London, the 2016 Jaguar XF made it over the Atlantic in time for its 2015 New York Auto Show debut.

Based upon Jaguar’s aluminum-intensive architecture — which reduces weight by 265 lbs over the outgoing model — the second-gen XF will come in five trims: XF Pure/ SE, XF Prestige, XF R-Sport, XF Portfolio and XF S. Power is bestowed upon the sedan via three diesel and three gasoline powerplants, though only one — a supercharged 3-liter V6 pumping between 340 and 380 horsepower to the back or all corners through an eight-speed automatic — is available for the U.S. market at this time.

Zero to 60 comes in 5.0 seconds, while adaptive suspension, brake torque vectoring, and Jaguar’s new Adaptive Surface Response system — able to determine what type of road the XF is rolling upon and acting accordingly — keep everything in line.

Other features include: Jaguar’s new InControl Touch connected-vehicle systems with customizable interface; a smartphone app to allow the owner to run diagnostics, warm up the interior, and unlock the doors; intelligent speed limiter; and adaptive LED headlamps.

The 2016 Jaguar XF is set to hit showrooms in the winter, with diesel and higher-performance options following soon after. Pricing information was not available at this time.

I'm extremely pleased with it. The V6 engines should be plenty of power for this car, knowing Jaguar as I do. And it looks like this will debut a redesigned infotainment unit for Jaguar/Land Rover, which was desperately needed...

Far from ugly, but too generic-looking for a Jaguar.

Blueice "You're describing a police state, not Communism or Marxism.'" Flyer, they are part and parcel. The Cheka and Gestapo were bothused as criminal police and political enforcement. FBI has reformatted itself into another Cheka. BTW, the Oilers looked impotent last night! I own a ED clinic and they are welcome for free treatment, with a dozen of pucks and sticks.
3-On-The-Tree I was referring to my 2009 C6 Corvette which is pretty low to the ground probably lower than a stock challenger. I’m retired and disabled from the Army and I have to sit in sideways and pull my legs in and reverse to get out. I also drive a 2021 Tundra Crewmax and like it because it has a lot of room making entry and exit easier.

Golden2husky I'd never recommend a modern Ford at this moment in time - not only the continual recalls, but there seems to be a lot of marginal parts and poor engineering ideas (an internal water pump, really?)...Almost overnight I am seeing Cybertrucks with increasing frequency. Teslas in general are thick on the ground around here but was surprised to see the trucks appear so quickly. They need better assembly quality and in the right light, some of the stainless panels seem to be a different hue from the neighboring panel.
