At the ongoing Beijing Motor Show, Jaguar is officially showcasing the XFL which is a long-wheelbase version of the regular XF. Designed and developed solely for China, the XFL is 140mm longer than the car on which it is based and comes with lots of creature comforts to keep the occupants occupied.
Jaguar is offering its latest InControl Touch Pro infotainment system, two 8-inch screens and wireless headphones for rear seat entertainment. Adding more comfort to the rear are the heated and cooled seats with massage function and window blinds.
The added length has resulted in the XFL weighing around 200kg more than the regular model. That said, performance will be more than enough from the choice of petrol engines that Jaguar is offering for this car. There’s a 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine in two different state of tunes - 197bhp and 236bhp, or a 335bhp supercharged 3-litre V6 unit. All engine options use a ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox.
The XFL will be the third locally assembled JLR model in China, after the Range Rover Evoque and the Land Rover Discovery Sport. The former is underpinned by the same aluminium-intensive platform found in the F-Pace and the XE.
