2009 jaguar xf premium luxury driver#
(It's part of a "come alive" theme that includes a flashing red starter button, climate vents that close flush when the car is turned off and open when the engine starts, and proximity-sensing or touch controls for the overhead console lights and glovebox release.)įeatures on the Luxury include 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, automatic headlamps, 10-way power heated "bond grain" leather seats, 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks, power tilt and telescopic wheel, walnut veneer trim, CD stereo with auxiliary interface, power sunroof, cruise control, garage door opener, keyless start, driver information centre, LED taillights, tire pressure monitoring system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, power-folding and auto-dimming heated mirrors with puddle lamps, floor mats, and Bluetooth hands-free telephone system. All use a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode and wheel-mounted paddles, and an unusual "Rotary Gear Selector" that is flush-mounted when the car is shut off, and rises when the engine starts. All models use a 4.2-litre V8 engine that's naturally-aspirated in the XF models, and supercharged in the XF Supercharged. Styled like a coupe, but with four doors, the Jaguar XF is available as the XF Luxury, XF Premium Luxury, and the XF Supercharged. An all-new model, the Jaguar XF takes over the departed S-Type's position as the luxury automaker's mid-sized offering.
