Jaguar XF 2.0 Review - hi guys, long time no see, in this article I will write about the Jaguar XF 2.0 review. Jaguar XF was first launched in 2007. The first generation XF looks very interesting with surprising interior with AC grid and the transmission button that seems to dance when the car in turn. The exterior is no less interesting. Coupe like design makes it look very different from its competitors, the Mercedes-Benz C250 Exclusive.

Jaguar XF latest claim better than its predecessor, at the same time have a lot of weapons to challenge Mercedes-Benz C250 Exclusive. So, this is one of the reasons I am a fan of the jaguar to make a Jaguar XF Review.

In the slide-show presentation, noted that of the 3,194 parts-owned Jaguar XF 2016, there were no less than 2,669 parts are completely new (up 83 percent). A quarter share with the Jaguar XE.

Latest Jaguar XF claimed to be lighter, more efficient and more technologically than its predecessor. The key is the use of the iQ platform (aluminum). This platform is also used by Jaguar XE and F-Pace - means the latest XF 190 kg lighter than the old model. With body panels weighing 181 kg, this car weighs only 1,455 kg.

In a measure of human weight, 190 kg did not feel too great. But in the field of automobile engineering, 1 kg weight reduction alone can boost the performance of the car significantly. Especially if pruning is done weights up to 190 kg. Supposing like moving the three passengers of the car cabin. Jaguar complete with increase the 'stickiness' of up to 28 percent of the car's structure.

There are four engines available for the latest Jaguar XF. You can choose the 2.0-liter diesel engine-powered 163 hp or 180 hp, 3.0-liter TDV6 diesel engine-powered 300 hp and a V6 gasoline engine-powered 380 hp maximum. Diesel and gasoline engine 2.0-liter paired with a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic. 3.0-liter engine paired with eight-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can choose four levels of trim: Prestige, R-Sport, Portfolio and S. All are equipped with Touch InControl system, 10.2-inch touch screen, navigation and voice control.


Jaguar XF 2.0 Review on Road Test

After the explanation is done, come for us to drive a New Jaguar XF 2016. The first type we tested is the All New Jaguar XF 2.0 diesel. When looking at the latest Jaguar XF for the first time, frankly I love it. The form is a synthesis of a cat of prey, although they look similar to the design of its predecessor. Jaguar XF also shrinking than the previous generation. Shorter dimensions 7 mm, 3 mm lower, although a longer wheel axis distance 51 mm.

A rear-seat passengers quite comfortably with legroom and knee space wider than the previous generation. As a result, increased leg room 15 mm, 24 mm increased knee room and headroom increased 27 mm. Interestingly, although the rear is greater, but the overall design is shrinking 7 mm. This occurs due to the 66 mm front overhang pushed back toward the front axle by 66 mm.

Turning to the interior. Now, more luxurious interior. BMW nuanced his dashboard with a layer of high-grade materials become bait for enthusiasts of excellence and high taste. Uniquely, the inside doors / trim made curved as if reinforced with chrome accents / metal. There is a 12.3-inch TFT screen on the instrument panel and a touch screen in the middle of the dashboard measuring 10.2 inches.

As a luxury car, the sound system was made attractive. Jaguar's latest XF has 17 speakers and audio systems Meridian-powered 825 W, quad-core processing power and the cabin materials combined with suede leather.

Moving to the machinery sector. Behind the bonnet lies a 2.0 liter turbo engine-powered Ingenium maximum of 177 hp at 4,000 rpm. The maximum torque of 428 Nm at 1750-2500 rpm. The resulting power was not exactly aggressive for an executive sedan with coupe design. However, the torque of the engine, makes the XF mighty engine on lap down, but still feels less passionate when it accelerates.

Eight-speed transmission with gears meetings, deliver power and torque to the rear wheels with a fine. It also makes performance on the lap top was perfect. Driving over smooth roads really enhance the potential of the Jaguar XF. but what if used in the streets of the capital? Certainly not yet definitely presents a similar sensation.

On the road to the circuit, car body control was measured. Feels like controlling the car smaller and lighter than the German cars in its class. Applications 20-inch alloy wheels and double-wishbone suspension (front) as well as the integral link (behind) completely fulfill his promise to give good feedback.

How the wheel? Well, this is interesting. Have you ever felt the power steering with hydraulic system? In the sports cars antiquity, this system been able to give the best feedback for the driver. In the Jaguar XF, equipped with electric power steering feels light but lively, XF really feels like the best use hydraulic power steering, so it gives a sense on the feedback as a driver's car.

The advantages of the light weight of the car and approached the distribution of 50/50 front to rear is also sticking. As a result, the elongation axle does not affect the agility of the car when swerving and small street in Pamplona.

Unfortunately, this car is not without drawbacks. The main drawback I feel is the roar of a diesel engine that is somehow able to infiltrate freely into the cabin. Although for some consumers it will be doping for driving sensation. But for me it is quite disturbing. At least, Jaguar still have extra work to perfect it.

Well, that's about the review from me, thank you for reading Jaguar XF 2.0 review.
