- Whats Good
The new Jaguar is an absolute stunner!! Heads turn wherever you go. The experience starts with the much talked about handshake of the car. As soon as you enter the car , the throbbing start button urges you to press and wake the sleeping big cat. As soon as the growl is heard, the gear knob emerges from the depths along with the rotatory opening of the ac vents. The steering wheel tilts to your set position as if bowing to your every command. The new Daylight running lamp design is awesome. The shape unique. The external finish is exquisite. Tail lamps give this car the kind of look reserved for cars above 1 Cr. As far as the interiors are concerned, the car fit and finish is of a very high quality and the leather seats give a plush feel. Very elegant...not too flashy. At night the soft glowing interior ambience lighting makes you feel special. The cabin design gives a feel of being in an aeroplane cockpit and as one of my friends observed... it zooms like one too. Driving the jag is an experience by itself. The steering is not buttery soft as many of the other cars I tried and gives me a feel of the road while driving. The acceleration is smooth and the car is not shy of reaching the higher rpms.All in all the car has a SOLID feel about it and feels very safe on the road in spite of being such a beauty... a rare combination.
What Can ImproveGiven that Jaguars are from sports lineage, but the seats for the front passenger seem to be too low. This causes the thigh support to diminish and it may not be comfortable on a very loong drive. The door pockets are not large enough to hold even a small sized water bottle. And the cup holders are quite small as well. The controls are almost all on the touchscreen. Navigation can become dangerous to use, esp. if u have to make changes while driving. In other countries this feature has a voice control which is sorely lacking in the Indian version...don't know why. The map-my-India navigation is probably not up-to date and many of the important landmark buildings or Hotels are not mapped...for eg. I had to reach The Courtyard Marriott hotel and Hotel Rennaissance in Mumbai for a conference from Nashik where I live and it did not have that mapped. It did not have Temple Hill road which is a famous tourist destination in Nashik mapped. so the navigation needs an upgrade right at the basic level too. I think also that the turbo boost comes a bit slow and I have to wait for a bit after the pedal is pressed for the car to start accelerating. however once the turbo kicks in the g forces are hard to neglect or resist !
- I have been driving the Jaguar XF since quite a time now and I am very much satisfied with everything that this car has offered me. The luxury quotient is there plus, the unmatched level of performance is simply superb. Talking about the technical side of this car first, the Jaguar XF has three engine options. Out of these, two are petrol engines and one is a diesel engine. Among the petrol ones, the variants are having 5.0 litre naturally aspirated V8 engine and 5.0 litre supercharged V8 engine options. The first petrol engine option enables the car to generate a maximum power output of 379 hp and a torque of 515 Nm. On the other hand, the second variant produces a maximum power of 503 hp and a torque of 625 Nm. The diesel variant also offers nearly similar results as it generates a maximum power of 271 hp and a torque of 600 Nm. Apart from the tremendous power, the Jaguar XF also delivers an amazing acceleration. While driving this car, it can reach speed of 100 kmph in near about 5 seconds. Besides performance, the comfort in this Jaguar sedan is very much appreciatory and it has a lot inside its roof. Prominent interior features like versatile steering wheel, wider range of seat designs with the personalisation advantage in it and effective climate control not only offer a stylish interior look but also provide comfort.
- Among the luxury cars that I have, the Jaguar XK delights me the most. This super-fast creation of Jaguar is powered by a powerful 5.0 litre V8 petrol engine and this engine is available in both the petrol variants of Jaguar XK. The first variant which is the base model of Jaguar XK produces a maximum power output of 503 hp and a peak torque of 635 Nm. Owing to such an advanced engine configuration, the super-fast sedan can accelerate to a maximum speed of 100 kmph in just 4.8 seconds. On the other hand, the second variant which is named as Jaguar XK-S has a power generation capacity of 542 hp and a torque of 680 Nm. The acceleration in this variant is also superb as the car can cross the speed mark of 100 kmph in a mere 4.4 seconds. The company has also given its super-fast sedan a very attractive and an aerodynamic look. It has a convertible roof and apart from it, many attractive exterior features are packed in it. Among its top features are the intelligent headlamps, power fold mirrors, front & rear parking aids and rain-sensing windscreen wipers. I am also pleased with the innovation that has been done at the interior side of the car. It has an option of a wider choice of colours, materials and trims in the inside. Apart from it, the luxury sedan is having leather steering wheel with integrated controls, dual automatic zone climate control and superior seating options.
- Jaguar XF first caught my attention owing to its classic yet futuristic essence. After taking a test-drive, I realised that this car not only has phenomenal looks but has superb performance and features as well. The car provides unbeatable comfort and luxuries without compromising on fuel economy and performance. The cabin of Jaguar XF hasn't missed one aspect in order to make the ride as comfortable as possible. There are simple features like air-conditioning system with heater, adjustable steering column, smooth leather seating, cigarette lighter and electronic multi trip-meter. Power steering, front and rear power windows, automated climate control, vanity mirror, front and rear cup-holders, rear AC-vents and rear reading lamp add quality comfort experience. Moreover, there are gadgets like height adjustable front seatbelts, rear seat headrests, remote trunk and fuel lid opener, front and rear seat heating and lumber support seating. One of the most engaging feature is the entertainment unit that consist of audio system with remote control, CD player, AM/FM radio and front and rear speakers. Jaguar XF has given special attention to safety with features like vehicle stability control system, crash sensor, engine check warning, door ajar warning and centrally mounted fuel tank.
