XF in Jaguar's future
29 November 2006
Jaguar Cars Ltd today announced a new
sports sedan, the Jaguar XF which will make its public debut
next spring - late 2007 - in the southern hemisphere.
Positioned in the luxury mid-size segment, the new Jaguar XF will replace the S-TYPE sedan in the Jaguar model line-up.
Designed and developed at Jaguar's Product Development Centre at Whitley in Coventry, UK, the new Jaguar XF will be built at Jaguar's Advanced Manufacturing Centre at Castle Bromwich in Birmingham, UK.
"The Jaguar XF is a new sports sedan that will challenge people to think again about Jaguar as daring and different," commented Wallis Dumper, the managing director of Motorcorp Distributors, the New Zealand importer and distributor for Jaguar.
"Our new XK sports car has been very well-received and is enjoying great success with the new XKR due in 2007 to further endorse the performance element of these beautiful fast cars. If you like the new XK, just wait until you see the new Jaguar XF! XF is proof of Jaguar’s new design era and the next stage in the evolution of the gorgeous philosophy."
Customer deliveries of the new Jaguar XF will commence globally in the northern hemisphere spring, early in 2008, and in New Zealand later that year.
