New Jaguar XF 2 2 Diesel review


With a smaller diesel motor under the hood of the XF, Jaguar finally ventures into the entry-level executive saloon segment.


With just a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder diesel on offer so far, Jaguar missed out on the hugely lucrative entry-level executive luxury saloon market, one where Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have so far, made a killing. Now, Jaguar has finally rolled up its sleeves and dived headfirst into this part of the pool with the competitive 2.2-litre diesel XF.

In the XF’s favour is its sheer desirability and the fact that it is a genuine alternative to the German ‘Big Three’. Also in its favour is the fact that this XF is assembled in India and attracts lower duties than its six-cylinder imported brother.
 
Like the 3.0-litre diesel, this 2.2-litre motor is mounted longitudinally and powers the rear wheels. It makes 187bhp and a healthy 45.8kgm of torque and this translates directly into a responsive and adequately powerful car. In fact, it is so nice, the only time you will probably realise the engine’s smaller capacity is when you want more urge at high speeds.
 
Otherwise, this engine is eager to rev to its redline and pulls in a linear manner while it is doing so. The performance figures back this up – 0-100kph takes 9.1sec, which is pretty much on par with the rest of the competition. Its kick-down acceleration times are impressive too, which points to why this engine felt so flexible in Mumbai’s traffic.
 
A part of this flexibility is also down to the eight-speed automatic gearbox and its broad spread of ratios. It’s a gearbox that blurs its shifts effectively, changes gear rather intuitively and tries to keep the engine spinning as efficiently as possible. The only minor hitch comes when you want a quick downshift to slot into a gap. Adding more pressure on the throttle doesn’t help, and only if you hit the kick-down switch or tug at the paddle does it jump down gears quickly. 

What’s also impressive is the engine’s relative refinement, considering it’s got four cylinders. Sure it’s not as supremely quiet or smooth as its six-cylinder brother, but the difference is marginal. More importantly, it feels a whole lot quieter than the engines in the 520d and the E 250 CDI. 
So the XF 2.2’s smooth shifts, linear power delivery and refinement make for a car that feels rather relaxing to be in and entirely fitting with the Jaguar character. Oddly, though, the ride seems to be on the lumpy side at low speeds, but the higher-profile tyres and smaller, 17-inch rims help it  handle sharp bumps impressively. It also has a flat, composed high-speed ride, and body control is good too. That apart, the handling isnt sporty. The steering isn’t as sharp or direct off centre as a 5-series and it doesn’t feel particularly involving to drive, which is fine – this car is for the more economy-conscious owner who’s unlikely to push it to its limits.
 
 
What owners will expect are comfortable, special interiors, and that’s what they will get, largely. The XF still gets Jaguar’s ‘handshake’, where the rotary gear selector rises out of the centre console and the air-con vents flip open electrically. They will also find a simple, well-built and uncluttered dashboard that looks a bit traditional, with its acres of wood. Some might also be disappointed by the fact that the interiors don’t feel as avant garde as those of its more modern competition. That aside, Jaguar has added satellite navigation and a switch that allows rear passengers to slide the front passenger seat back and forth; small but significant additions to an equipment list that also includes a reverse camera, dual-zone climate control, paddle-shifters, keyless go, a sunroof, Bluetooth connectivity and USB and aux-in ports. 
 
Jaguar should have liberated more cabin space along with the recent mid-life facelift. Though the front seats are quite spacious, there is noticeably less space at the rear as compared to its rivals at the rear. Jag ofcourse is paying the price of the coupe-like profile.

Now for the anoraks. It’s rather easy to tell a passing four-cylinder XF from the 3.0-litre one. Simply look for the smaller wheels and the single tail pipe. Oh, and the 2.2-litre car doesn’t get the ‘S’ badging on the boot lid either.
 
At Rs 44.5 lakh (ex-showroom, pre-octroi, Mumbai), the XF isnt the cheapest car in its class, but it is easily the cheapest XF. A BMW 520d is Rs 2.4 lakh cheaper. But, remember, the Jag car does have a bit more equipment that its rivals which does offset the higher price to some extent. And, because it is assembled here, you can also expect it to be a sizeable Rs 10 lakh cheaper on the road, in some cities, than the 3.0-litre XF S. This in itself will attract those who have been eyeing the relative exclusivity of the XF, but have been put off by the high entry price. 
 
One thing’s for certain, this car will no doubt become the best-selling Jaguar in India, and we are convinced it has the potential to take the fight right to the Germans.

2014 Jaguar XJR

Jaguar has revealed a teaser pic of the 2014 Jaguar XJR for debut at the 2013 New York Motor Show further augmenting its “R” series of performance sedans.

Andy Goss, President, Jaguar Land Rover North America said “Jaguar is growing its product lineup to meet a far wider spectrum of customer demands ranging from sedans with 2.0 liter and 3.0 liter engines and All Wheel Drive to the exciting new F-TYPE sports car. It is clear that performance will continue to lie at the heart and soul of the brand. To that end, the growing R performance lineup offers our customers the truly elevated dynamics and design, but in a Jaguar luxury package. The Jaguar XJR is a British performance machine that delivers emotionally and dynamically on the road and on the track.”

The first visual differentiation on the new aggressive looking Jag is the dark grille with an ‘R’ badge which generally is chromed in the Jaguar lineup. A revised bumper, spoiler, vented hood, new set of wheels and racy red calipers. The steering, suspension and braking dynamics have been tested at the manufacturer’s Nürburgring test facility.

The 550 bhp supercharged V8 has been retained from the Jaguar XFR-S that was showcased last year at the Los Angeles Motor Show. Shifting duties will be taken care of by an 8 speed paddle shifted ZF auto transmission. Though official performance figures haven’t been announced yet, but expect the big leaping cat to clock 0-100 kph just over 4 seconds with top speed to be likely in the region of 300 kph.

Jaguar to build 3 series rival


Jaguars global boss hints that baby saloon will take priority over upcoming crossover.


Jaguar to build 3-series rival A smaller saloon to rival the BMW 3-series is a bigger priority at Jaguar than developing a crossover, global brand director Adrian Hallmark has hinted.
"Even though the SUV market is growing, the saloon market is still twice the size, especially in the US," said Hallmark. "A crossover would make more noise for us than a saloon, but we already have SUVs in the company and were not in a rush to add to that.
 
"You might not make as much profit on a saloon than an SUV, but you dont expect the likes of Audi stop making the A4."
 
Hallmark also pointed out the "successful strategy" the likes of BMW, Audi and Mercedes had made of expanding the appeal and profitability of their staple saloon line-ups with coupe, cabriolet and estate variants, as well as a wide range of powertrains. "You have got to be flexible in that segment," he added.
