The
Jaguar XF 3.0 V6 Diesel S has barely had time to make it into showrooms and Jaguar is already upping the ante with the option of XFR-inspired styling.
From the outside, the XF Diesel S now comes with an Aerodynamic Pack that includes black mesh grilles, XFR-style side skirts and LED daytime running lights. This pack costs £1,500 or £2,000 with the LED lights included.
The Diesel S now also comes as standard with the same leather sports seats as found in
the XFR. These seats have 18-way electric adjustment, while new Piano Black veneer dash trim finishes off the cabin's appearance.
Keen drivers will be interested in the £1,250 Dynamics Pack that brings 'Adaptive Dynamics' to the XF Diesel S. As well as the 20-inch alloy wheels, this pack comes with suspension that adjusts to the conditions 500 times per second, which should enhance the XF's already impressive ride and handling.
Jaguar has also lowered the cost of entry to XF ownership with the announcement that the 3.0 V6 petrol model is now priced at £29,900. Leather seats, touch-screen satellite navigation and a six-speed automatic gearbox are all standard within this price.
