2012 Jaguar XF

When Jaguar first introduced the XF sedan in 2008 it effectively kick-started a new generation of cars for the big cat. Cars sold by Jaguar before the XF were unashamedly retro with many styling cues taken from early classics, however dwindling sales forced Jaguar into rethinking this strategy and the XF was the first new Jaguars.
It’s a four-door executive sedan aimed squarely at the likes of the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6. A number of engines are offered on the 2012 model ranging from the entry-level 238bhp 3.0-litre V6 that provides relaxed and refined motoring, through to a 510bhp supercharged 5.0-litre V8 with 510bhp and a tendency to smoke its rear tyres. For those who are torn between the two, there is also a non-supercharged version of the 5.0-litre V8 available with a more manageable 385bhp.
All XFs come with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic gearbox, which sends power to the rear wheels. Four trim levels are offered – though even those choosing the base model aren’t going to feel short-changed – it’s call Luxury after all. Rich wood veneers and leather seats – complete with electronic adjustment controls – are standard fit. The top level Portfolio models are fitted with a world-class premium sound system and a suede headlining.
And whilst the Jaguar XF looks pretty good from the outside, it’s on the inside that Jaguar firmly shows its hand. Instead of a dour business-like interior as favoured by the XF’s German competition, the Jaguar has a much more contemporary feel. At night, the whole cabin is bathed in ice cool blue lighting, as well as the rising gear selector, the air vents swivel open when the engine starts – it just feels rather special for all those onboard.

The high art of engineering is reflected in the Jaguar XKR-S in many facets. For example, the possibility of absolute tranquility just glide along and raise demand for the predator with a pressure on the accelerator. At first only the slight noise of the wheels on the pavement, in a moment of awakening to life, with its 510 hp engine. With the roar is always sonorous and pleasant, the audiologist did a great job at Jaguar.

Dynamics

Jaguar XJL 2012 | First Drive

The folks at Jaguar are rather busy these days. Aiming at creating new brand identity, a new brand positioning and a new brand campaign, Jaguar is upbeat at reviving itself and with the all-new F-type scheduled for launch in 2013 and the Coventry based company is also freshening up its current range. Things couldn't get any better for the iconic British brand who at the moment seem to be on the rise since its takeover by the Indian auto giant, Tata Motors.
With a bid to popularise this brand transformation program, Jaguar’s marketing team has come up with a global campaign designed to capitalise on the emotional pull of Jaguar cars and challenges it’s consumers to answer: 'How alive are you?'
To reflect the ethos of the campaign, Jaguar recently hosted a two-day event in Dubai aimed at challenging attendees on how alive they felt throughout the experience - particularly while driving the XJL. Some lucky participants were also given the opportunity to sky dive from 13,000 feet over Dubai.
 This event turned out to be an ideal occasion to gather some first impressions of the new 3-litre V6 variant of the XJL that was introduced in 2011. Having driven the XJL Supersport with its 5-litre supercharged V8, the V6 instantly feels a bit slower and unresponsive. This engine makes 235bhp at 6800rpm and 293Nm of torque at a rather high 4100rpm. Overall fuel efficiency is close to its 5-litre sibling at 11.6 litres per 100 kilometres. The sprint from 0-100 takes a while at 8.3 seconds and even though the engine revs freely and the sounds sonorous, the car barely seemed to entice its occupants.
There is a sports mode that increases engine responsiveness and holds on to gears longer but that too fails to exude any sportiness. This engine is an upgraded version of the same 2.7-litre engine that was developed by Ford during its ownership of Jaguar and it allows the XJL to be priced very competitively at AED 289,000, expanding its reach to customers with a tight budget for a premium luxury sedan.

 he Jaguar XJL has always been a rewarding car to look at. Pre 1994 models were not really a treat to look at but had a stately charm to them. However, the X300 variant introduced 1994 was the first handsome looking XJ that combined good looks with a classy interior. Technically it was similar to the car it replaced but it was a radical departure from its predecessor in terms of looks.
Similar turn of events took place in 2009 when Jaguar introduced the X351 XJ in London. Determined to revamp Jaguars styling and add modernity to Jaguar’s brand image, Design Director Ian Callum penned the lines for the best-looking XJ ever. It was futuristic, stylish and had you could sense some feline inspiration with the way the headlights and the rear was designed.
I have never come across anyone who doesn’t appreciate the way Jaguar cars are designed. The styling is flawless and beautiful. There won’t be a single day when you wont admire this car sitting in your driveway. The only issue is, I wish Jaguar had got it right with build quality and finish.

 The car I drove had irregularities with the way the leather was glued to the dashboard and the stitching too didn't seem to be consistent. Even though the quality of materials used is top notch, small issues like these can turn away a potential buyer and I think Jaguar should pay more attention to improving fit and finish, especially on its flagship models. Another thing that's instantly noticeable is the cars firm ride. Even though it was riding on 18-inch and not some super low-profile 19 or 20-inch tyres, the ride felt very stiff for a luxury saloon. Something here just didn't feel right. With no option to adjust
Another thing that could have been better is the interior space. The front row feels a bit cramped with the centre tunnel taking up a lot of real estate and leaving a modest amount of space for the foot wells. The rear however is a different story altogether. True to its L badge, this long wheelbase XJ has CEO impressing space at the back.
For those who like the XJ for its looks, there is simply no other car in its segment that comes close in terms of styling. However, like I mentioned, it doesn’t have the fit and finish of a German or a Japanese rival and that is a compromise you will have to make if you opt for this car. However, it will turn more heads when you drive it to your golf club or the next red carpet even
