"With CO2 emissions
of 179g/km, 42mpg average fuel economy and 0-60mph acceleration in 5.9
seconds, this is another great example of Jaguar delivering unrivalled
performance while at the same time taking the level of refinement in
diesel engines to a whole new level." Mick Mohan, Jaguar Programmes Director |
When it was introduced last year, the
XF was recognised as a dramatic expression of a bold new Jaguar design
language. It also soon became apparent that here was a car where the
driving experience exceeded the expectations created by the striking
appearance. Now, the new XF Diesel S takes this driving experience to
new levels, shifting the balance even further towards dynamic
performance while still retaining the XF's core values as a refined and
luxurious sports saloon.
Distinguished by 19 inch wheels, an
aerodynamic boot lid spoiler and discreet 'S' badging, the car that
defines Jaguar sporting luxury is even better for the 2010 model year,
with a stunning new high-performance diesel. Powered by a 275PS engine,
the Diesel S gives the XF outstanding levels of performance,
accelerating from 0-60mph in just 5.9 seconds, 1.8 seconds quicker than
the excellent 2.7-litre model. In-gear acceleration is equally
impressive, with a 50-70mph time of just 3.2 seconds. Maximum speed is
electronically limited to 155mph.
Featuring parallel sequential
turbochargers to help deliver the high levels of power and torque
seamlessly and with effortless flexibility, this engine is perfectly
matched to Jaguar's sophisticated six-speed ZF 6HP28 automatic
transmission.
There is an equally impressive 240PS
version of the new 3.0-litre engine available too, which produces 16
percent more power and a 15 percent increase in torque over the
2.7-litre diesel, allowing the XF to reach 60mph in 6.7 seconds. Its
50-70mph time of just 3.7 seconds is only fractionally slower than the
275PS Diesel S model. Maximum speed is 149mph. And like the 275PS
engine, these great performance leaps are achieved with combined average
fuel consumption of 42.0mpg – an improvement on the 2.7-litre diesel of
over 10 percent – and a CO2 emissions rating of only 179g/km.
The acclaimed XF 2.7 Diesel has won
several accolades, including in the UK What Car magazine's
'Diesel Car of the Year' and 'Car of the Year', What Diesel
magazine's 'Diesel Car of the Year' and the Association of Scottish
Motoring Writers' Best Diesel of 2008.
