Currently reading: Jaguar XF Diesel S enhanced

XFR inspired interior, option of Adaptive Dynamics system

The Jaguar XF range has been revised, with the creation of a 271bhp Diesel S model with part XFR styling, plus the introduction of a lower entry-level price for the range.

The Diesel S, priced from £38,475, now gets an XFR derived interior as standard and the Adaptive Dynamics system, currently available on the XFR and XK range, as an option as part of a 'Dynamics Pack'. Adaptive Dynamics analyses the chassis movement and steering inputs 500 times a second and adapts the suspension accordingly.

The Dynamics Pack also includes 20-inch five-spoke alloys, and costs from £1250.

“We have applied the lessons learned from the XFR to bring more sophisticated, sporting driving dynamics to the Diesel S model,” said Mike Cross, chief engineer, vehicle integrity.

“Fitted with the state-of-the-art Adaptive Dynamics system, the latest Diesel S provides driving enthusiasts with taut handling and superb body control, but without the noise and harshness often associated with ‘sports’ suspension packages.”

An Aerodynamic Pack' is also available from £1500, rising to £2000 with LED lights. This styling pack adds black mesh inserts for the grille and lower air intakes and XFr style side sills.

In addition, the entry-level 3.0-litre V6 petrol Luxury model now costs from £29,900.

Re: Jaguar XF Diesel S enhanced

I saw one of these in the car park where i work and i was a bit surprised to see a black grill rather than the usual silver one. Its a cool car. It exceeds in the areas where the BMW and Merc fail and i can only say that's the looks and top class interior. When i first saw the new Merc e-class' rear i thought straight away its a new hyundai but close up i was amazed it was a new Merc with that crappy look. I think those who have a mid life crisis and want to stand out or look difference buy the BMW 5 series but its just such an ugly car no wonder it stands out.

They have always described it as a 4 door coupe from the moment they unveiled the concept. Nothing has changed.
