TIMED to meet the first real wintry threat of the year, the all-new Jaguar XF is now available to order with all-wheel drive for deliveries this spring.

And for business users the four-cylinder diesel engine – the clean, refined, 180PS 2.0-litre Ingenium unit – promises not just exceptional fuel efficiency together with enhanced all-weather traction and performance but CO2 emissions of just 129 g/km to keep down benefit-in-kind tax.

It combines impressive fuel economy of 57.7mpg with respectable performance, good for 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds.

The 180PS Ingenium engine’s maximum torque of 430Nm – one of the highest ratings in the class – is generated from just 1,750rpm, delivering strong mid-range acceleration and outstanding real world performance.

Maximum speed of the tax-friendly all-wheel drive XF is 138mph.

Jaguar’s torque on-demand AWD system features Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) – a next-generation control technology developed entirely in-house.

Launched in the F-TYPE AWD, IDD delivers rear-wheel drive character and agility but can transfer precisely the right amount of torque to the front axle when required, maximising the performance and dynamics benefits of the additional traction. The result is superb composure in even the most adverse weather conditions.

Configurable Dynamics improves the driving experience by letting the driver individually tune settings for the suspension, steering, throttle and transmission through the vehicle’s touchscreen.

Originally offered only on V6 models, Configurable Dynamics will now be available on all 180PS four-cylinder diesel models with automatic transmissions.

For vehicles equipped with the state-of-the-art InControl Touch Pro infotainment system, Configurable Dynamics also benefits from Dynamic-i. Displayed on the 10.2-inch touchscreen, this feature provides the driver with a stopwatch, G-meter, lap timer and graphs of brake and accelerator pedal activation, enhancing the all-new XF’s performance-orientated character.

As well as benchmark vehicle dynamics, the all-new XF boasts exceptional usability and practicality, thanks to class-leading rear seat space and a 540-litre luggage compartment – the largest in the segment.

The combination of dynamic and traction benefits of AWD with the responsiveness and fuel efficiency of the 180PS/ 430Nm Ingenium engine and eight-speed automatic transmission makes the all-new XF an even more compelling choice in the business segment with CO₂ emissions of 129g/km.

For AWD-equipped XFs, Adaptive Surface Response (AdSR) technology can replace Rain, Ice, Snow mode in the Jaguar Drive Control and optimises the mapping of the throttle, automatic transmission and DSC system to suit the type of surface.
