2012 Jaguar model range

LONDON - August 31, 2011: The new Jaguar XF saloon, XK sports coupé and flagship Jaguar XJ that all made their debut at the New York Auto Show this past April feature substantial changes and improvements. They all bring performance, refinement and economy to new levels, while fresh design enhancements strengthen their contemporary appeal.

Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director of Jaguar Cars says, "The new 2012 Jaguar range is our finest yet. Every one of our models fully embodies the brand ideals - innovation, bold design, and effortless high performance. Our designers and engineers strive continuously to keep Jaguar ahead of the competition - creating cars that stand apart from mainstream premium offerings, while remaining accessible to an ever wider spectrum of customers."

The 2012 model year XK builds on the car's award-winning reputation as a high-performance sporting GT. A new range-topping variant, the XKR-S, creates a new performance flagship for Jaguar by becoming its most powerful production car ever, capable of 186mph and 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds.

Purposeful cosmetic alterations to the front and rear are made to the entire XK range, bringing its visual appeal right up to date, while further personalisation options are available to both the car's performance and styling through a series of special order upgrade packages. New interior options will allow the discerning driver to emphasise either the luxury or performance aspects of the XK's nature.

The XF, which has won more than 80 awards around the world for both its performance and styling, now receives bold new front and rear revisions to its appearance that bring it in line with the flagship XJ. The supercharged XFR features further uniquely dramatic design enhancements that signal the performance available in this potent range-topper.

Major technical advances include an all-new, state-of-the-art 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine in the XF, which comes with a fuel and emissions-saving Intelligent Stop/Start system for the first time in a Jaguar. This market specific version of the XF will be the most fuel-efficient vehicle in the Jaguar line-up - achieving 52.3mpg* combined and 149g/km CO2 - while retaining the performance and refinement that make it stand out as a true Jaguar sports saloon.

For the flagship Jaguar XJ luxury saloon, a suite of enhancements to the interior and options list includes a new Rear Seat Comfort package, which incorporates electric recline, lumbar adjustment and massage functions to reinforce the ultimate executive limousine experience.

These three cars are the result of a design and technology revolution at Jaguar, led by award-winning Design Director Ian Callum, the architect of the company's future success:

"The world has been introduced to an entirely new generation of Jaguars in the past few years. With the new product range, today's Jaguar is at full-strength for the first time. The 2012 XK, XF and XJ are design-led products that break new boundaries. We believe our cars resonate with customers on an emotional level and that's reflected both in the way they drive and the way they look."
