The next generation XF has been completely built from the ground up and will be the second Jaguar model (after the XE) to use the brand’s advanced aluminium-intensive architecture. With all the weight saving, Jaguar says the all-new XF will set new segment benchmarks for weight and efficiency, resulting in class leading fuel economy figures of over 70mpg.

Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar, commented : “I believe the all-new XF will be the best looking car in its class. Elegant, handsome and with proportions that imbue a great sense of integrity – the all-new XF will be true to the strong tradition of sporting Jaguar saloons while being completely of its time.”

On the inside, the XF features a similar styling theme to the India bound Jaguar XE but is more premium. The interior features a large infotainment system, recessed air-vents and wide centre console with Jaguar’s traditional rotary gear selector.

Even though the new XF is expected to be grow in dimensions compared to the outgoing model to address rear legroom and boot space concerns, with significant weight saving measures on the new chassis, the new model is likely to shave off upto 100kg compared to the current model.

Powering the new XF will be Jaguar Land Rover’s new 2.0 liter Ingenium turbo-diesel engine along with the range from the existing model. Jaguar has also said that the current XFR and XFR-S will also be replaced although engine details are yet to be provided.

Jaguar have teamed up with expert British stuntman Jim Dowdall to perform a world first high-wire water crossing in the all-new Jaguar XF. The dramatic drive, across two 34mm-diameter wires suspended high above water, will highlight the lightweight and agile credentials of the new XF and will be streamed globally on jaguar.com/newxf at 19:00 GMT on 24 March.
