Yes I know this car has been around for awhile now, but I havent blogged about it yet I guess; I love this car. Some people used to tell me that the Jaguar XK is the Aston Martin's poorer brother - I somewhat agree with that, and it does have its similar resemblances. However, the Jaguar XF is a different animal altogether.
The Jaguar XF is a high-performance car. Most of its more illustrious competitors offer the car in a V6 engine, but Jaguar, apart from the 3.0 V6, they also offer the 5.0 V8 - as well as a supercharged 5.0 V8 - which they call the Jaguar XF-R.
Its performance.....The 3.0 V6 model does 0-100 km/h in an impressive 8.3 seconds, with a top speed of 237 km/h (thats electronically limited by the way). The 5.0 V8 does 5.7 seconds for the 0-100 km/h, while the XF-R does it in 4.9 seconds - both with a top speed of 250 km/h.
The beautiful good looks.Jaguar has come up with a very sporty coupe-like profile for the Jaguar XF. It looks modern, nice, sporty, at the same time elegant... It is an attractive sedan, a very stunning creature that turns heads and make you go 'ooooo' whenever you see it.
The Jaguar XF is selling for RM 488,888.
Take into account this - the Jaguar XF comes with 19" alloy sport wheels, a 6 speed electronic automatic transmission with the Jaguar Sequential Shift paddles, a JaguarDrive selector, a JaguarDrive Control, DSC Dynamic Stability Control, as well as an Electronic Parking Brake for some of its Power Train and Driving Dynamics specifications.
For RM 488,888 - this would be a STEAL! =)

Another shot of the Jaguar XF-R.
Some of its other features... includes... front and side airbags for all passengers, ABS, emergency brake assists (EBA), and a state-of-the-art security system with volumetric and perimeter sensing alarm and vehicle immobilizer. It comes with IPOD-ready Portable Audio interface, ready Bluetooth telephone connectivity and a 7-inch full colour touch screen. =P
How about that for some luxury?
Pop into the Jaguar showroom and you'll see a whole range of customization features.
I think I like my Jaguar XF-R in black. How about YOU?
What else from Jaguar?
I would love to review the Jaguar CX-75 next. =)
