2012 XF JAGUAR FACELIFT

 

The 2012 XF compact saloon has been unveiled at the New York Auto Show complete with fresh styling, advanced new technologies and an innovative entry-level powertrain that promises to make it the most efficient Jaguar yet produced.

The new XF features an all-new look to the front end with slim new headlight units set into which are distinctive LED lighting strips sitting either side of a larger, more upright grille. a lower bonnet line complete with a pronounced, wider power bulge running down the centre lends the XF a purposeful stance emphasised by a new look to the lower bumper section complete with a trio of airdams, the outside pair of which are now intersected by twisted chrome fins.

 

At the rear of the car the tail lamp units have been redesigned with LED technology being employed, while the units themselves now extend further into the boot lid with a new chrome blade sitting below a simple Jaguar leaper badge.

the interior has been further improved with high-end materials and new technologies. The front and rear seats have been redesigned to incorporate a ‘hoop’ design element on the seat and backrest that improves their appearance and support. The company is now offering a new color combination and a revised color scheme on the center console, dashboard, and steering wheel where buttons and switchgear have a more luxurious soft feel black paint finish. The ‘Tungsten’ finish is replaced by a more contemporary ‘Aurora’ theme.

The list of technologies includes a seven-inch Touch-screen with a new polarizing filter for improved contrast, addition buttons, and a revised graphics palette.
