Jaguar XF Series

No more style 'polite' in the street. Kitchen capitalize runway capacity to 4200 cc supercharged, exhaust roar out sangar ready. That figure 'leopard' new England, Jaguar XF series.

XF Series models break rigid conservative who impressed as Jaguar series before. The first time a white cloth exposed by Darwin Maspolim, President Director of PT Grandauto Dynamics, ATPM Jaguar, I was surprised to see a coupe-like model. New leopard has been born. Shape sporty, elegant look, but it still emits an aura of aristocratic luxury.

Once inside the car for Rp2, 1 billion this, I guess that thought this car was narrowly missed. Space is wide enough on the inside, fit for five adults, though it resembles a car model coupe.

We sat behind the driver's seat, my eyes fixed on the red light flickering on a button that is located right in the middle of the front, below the radio. The lamp was kept flashing to the rhythm like a heartbeat.

A staff came in and pressed the button. Simply Jaguar XF roars gently. As the proverb says, do not wake a sleeping tiger, Nah! Do not press the button if it does not want to travel with the XF.

Frankly, I'm impressed with the idea of the start-stop engines that were made to resemble a leopard's heartbeat.

My admiration does not stop. After the engine starts, a cylinder appears automatically in a place where there are gear levers. I just realized, where this car gear lever. Apparently yes cylinder! A circle with a diameter of no more than 8 cm.

This technology is called JaguarDrive Selector. Its function is similar to ordinary gear lever, but its operation by way of playing. A brilliant idea to maximize interior space and create a minimalist look.

JaguarDrive Selector control transmission system with six-speed automatic. If you want to switch to manual transmission, the Jaguar Sequential Shift technology allows it. Button to move the transmission when the manual system is activated, there is at the wheel.

7-inch touch screen ready to accompany your journey with audio and video entertainment. In addition there is the Jaguar Sense, which set the interior lights in accordance with our will.

XF interior luxury is not only present in visual form, but our ears were pampered with the enormity of the music that came out of the 14 fruit speaker 440W Bower & Wilkins. High-end brand for this audio can be obtained by adding consumer Rp40 million from the sale price.

For those of you who have not advanced driving, XF has a Blind Spot Monitor technology, which lets you see the dark zone is not visible in the rearview mirror. Through the radar, this system will provide information about the dark zone which is then displayed on the 7-inch touch screen.

4200 cc V8 engine to be able to make XF supercarged racing. 0-160km/jam able devoured speed in just 5.4 seconds. As for, the maximum speed reached 250km/jam XF. XF exhaust system is also capable of reducing noise when the engine digeber.

Keep characteristic

Ian Cullum, car designers do not seem to want too hit the limit. There are typical Jaguar that he does not leave behind, such as Bonet in the middle of the hood is still outstanding. Then the front grill still does not use frames, and wood panels still exist Jaguar used.

There is a little story about Bonet characteristic on the hood of the Jaguar. Previously it was not planned Bonet, but because the former Jaguar engine is too large, so the hood can not tetutup. So, was made space (Bonet) to the engine hood to be closed perfectly.

In Indonesia, the Jaguar XF comes in two series. XF 3.0L V6 with 238 horsepower, sold at Rp1, 29 billion and XF supercharged 4.2L V8 with 416 horsepower, dilego Rp2, 1 billion. In the Indonesian market, XF will fight in the premium sedan class, competing with BMW, Audi, Lexus, and Mercedes Benz.

PT Dinamika own Grandauto Jaguar XF target only sold about 200 units from 4000 sales of premium sedans this year in Indonesia. The reason Darwin, because the allocation of the principals in the UK is very limited for the Indonesian market.
