New Jaguar XF – even more advanced than its predecessor
The all-new Jaguar XF boasts a bevy of new technological advances and convenient features and is substantially more advanced than its predecessor!
From touchscreen interfaces and wireless music streaming, to the world-class safety systems that earned it a 5-star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests, the Jaguar XF offers drivers peace of mind.
“The XF wowed consumers when it came to market in 2008, with small details in the interior that truly made it feel alive,”
says Lisa Mallett, Marketing and Communications Director of Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.
“With the all-new XF, Jaguar’s engineers have incorporated even more technology, with a focus on safety and convenience technologies that enhance the ownership experience. Simply put, it is the most advanced Jaguar sports sedan to date.”
Front and centre of this technological charge is Jaguar’s InControl Touch infotainment system. Within arm’s reach of the driver is an eight-inch touchscreen display offering easy and immediate access to entertainment and hands-free telephonic features.
Jaguar’s new head-up display system makes its debut in the Jaguar XF. Based on the latest laser-based systems, the display projects current vehicle information onto the windscreen, in the driver’s line of sight. This unobtrusive display enhances safety by letting drivers see their current speed and cruise control status without taking their eyes off the road.
The all-new Jaguar XF is also fitted with proactive safety features such as Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Driver Condition Monitoring (DCM). LKA stops the vehicle from veering out of its current lane – possibly due to driver fatigue. Additionally, DCM will sound a warning to let drivers know when they sneed a rest stop.
Finally, a full complement of airbags – six in total – protects occupants in the event of a collision. Every Jaguar XF is also fitted with Pedestrian Contact Sensing, a system that uses airbags to lift the vehicle’s bonnet and reduce the risk of severe injury for pedestrians. Euro NCAP recently also awarded it as the first vehicle in its class to comply with the organisation’s latest crash standards.
“We want drivers to have a stress-free experience in the new XF, whether it’s cruising on the highway or negotiating city traffic,”
says Mallett.
“Having recently earned a Euro NCAP 5-star rating, the all-new XF is one of the safest vehicles in its class – an achievement made possible through Jaguar’s innovative use of technologies.”
