Jaguar XF – car of the decade
Luxury sport car enthusiasts rejoiced this summer when the Jaguar XF was named Auto Express Driver Power ‘Car of the Decade’ – and with good reason.
Acting Editor of Auto Express, Graham Hope, presented Dr. Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover and Andrew Whyman, Chief Programme Engineer, XF, with the Award in front of staff at the Castle Bromwich Factory.
Graham Hope, Editor of Auto Express, commented: “Jaguar’s XF is a thoroughly deserving winner of our Car of the Decade. Over the past 10 years, more than 302,000 Auto Express readers have told us what they like and dislike about their cars, and no model has demonstrated such consistent all-round ability as the XF.
“It’s fantastic to drive and extremely well built – a tribute to the skilled workforce at Castle Bromwich. I am absolutely delighted that a British-built car has won this award, and fully expect the latest version of the XF, with its new diesel engine, to achieve even more success in the years ahead.”
Since 2008 over 37,000 examples of the XF have been sold in the UK. A relentless programme of engineering improvements have meant that the XF has remained highly competitive in its class.
Capable of travelling in excess of 800-miles on a single tank of diesel and emitting 149 g/km of CO2 , the XF 2.2 combines economy with the performance, refinement and dynamic ability expected of a modern Jaguar luxury sport car. Like the rest of the XF range it benefits from a series of aesthetic changes both inside and out to lend it a fresh, elegant new look.
The future certainly looks bright.
