Jaguar XF Dorset

in Car

The Jaguar XF came out in 2008 to replace the Jaguar S Type.  As the Jaguar TV adverts boast the Jaguar XF won "What Car? Best car of the year" in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Jaguar XF blends together the looks and performance of a sports car while offering refinement and practicality.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - The XF's body was developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics before the car went to a wind tunnel. Every area from the outer skin to the lightweight, composite undertray to the cooling airflow was optimised using this process.

The Jaguar XF comes with V6 and V8 petrol and diesel engines, all are mated to a 6 speed automatic gearbox. The two diesel engines the 3.0 V6 and the 271bhp S model, the 271 bhp model is punchy, but the standard 237bhp is so good that it is difficult to justify the extra cost behind the more powerful engine.

The two petrol engines are the 3.0 V6 and the 5.0 V8, the 5.0 litre is more flexible and much more impressive.

As with all Jaguars the XF is sharp to drive but equally comfortable to ride. The ride can be a little firm at low speeds but, once you're going at a decent pace, it displays a terrific balance of control and suppleness. These characteristics help explain why there are so many Jaguar XF in Dorset, it is very well suited to the local terrain.
