Jaguar is set to bring out an all-new generation of its XF later this year; however, before the premium sedan hits the showroom floors, Jaguar will showcase it at the forthcoming New York Auto Show for the first time.
The new Jaguar XF will carry styling cues inspired by the younger sibling XE and a lightweight aluminium chassis that is bound to make it more efficient and dynamically better than the outgoing model. It features sharper styling cues and a coupe like silhouette, just like the smaller XE.
The new XF will be underpinned by the Jaguar’s new aluminium-intense iQ[Al] platform on which the smaller XE is based on. This new chassis will help keep the weight down despite the size of the car going up to generate additional space at the rear and the boot. Also expect Jaguar’s new Ingenium range of petrol and diesel engines for the all-new generation XF.
Jaguar India is expected to launch the new XF here in under a year from its global launch, in which case we can expect the new XF to hit the showrooms by mid-2016. When launched, the new XF will compete against the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class and the Audi A6
