The Jaguar XF
(credit: www.autoblog.com)
The Jaguar XF is a very good example of a sport sedan. The "sport" part is really there, it does 0-60 in 5 seconds. The Jag also can hit an impressive top speed of 129 miles per hour. You can get it in all-wheel drive, which makes it very popular where I live because people like to get full-size, all-wheel drive cars. This cat has 340 horsepower (~253 kilowatts) and 332 pound-feet (~450 Nm) of torque. The XF gets its power from either a supercharged V-6 (statistics shown in the sentence above) or an I-4 turbodiesel. People will say "Superchargers aren't efficient, they waste gas!". Blasphemy! Superchargers take a large blow to fuel mileage, but they are cool. If I am going to spend 60 grand on a V-6, it better be cool. However, enough ranting, because the Jaguar has some truly amazing equipment on board. Car and Driver says "The cabin is delightfully modern and houses a variety of gadgets suitable for James Bond himself, including forward-collision alert and a driver-drowsiness alert." The suspension is excellent, it can come with adaptive dampers, this means you can firm up the suspension for the racetrack, or soften it for gentle cruises on the freeway.

Jaguar really does styling so well. I can't think of a model I dislike. The engineering has finally, almost caught up to the design.
ReplyDeleteYeah, all of them are great, except the F-Pace, which we will not discuss.
