As all-new 2016 Jaguar XF sedan made its first
appearance as part of a dramatic over-water high-wire crossing that took
place in London's Canary Wharf district prior to its debut in New York.
But that high-profile entrance aside, the second generation of Jag's
popular midsize 4-door has an impressive story to tell in its own right.
A comprehensive remake endows the 2016 XF with a more refined design
coupled with upgraded dynamics, enhanced creature comforts and improved
fuel economy in virtually all models.
More attractive by design
Based on the same aluminum-intensive platform that underpins the
recently introduced Jaguar XE, the new XF is over 400 pounds lighter
than the outgoing model, but has 28 percent greater torsional rigidity.
That stiffer foundation complements a new double-wishbone front/Integral
Link rear suspension - in both standard advanced-passive-damper form
and the optional Adaptive Dynamics setup. The new XF also benefits from
electric power-assist steering. Like the F-Type, XF buyers will be able
to opt for Jaguar Configurable Dynamics that features driver-selectable
settings for the shocks, steering and shift mapping of the car's 8-speed
automatic transmission.
