第二代捷豹XF将在明年4月初开幕的纽约车展首次亮相。新一代车型的外观设计将深受XE紧凑型轿车影响。,另外车身尺寸将大幅增加,因此后排乘客腿部活动空间以及行李箱容积都将获得提升。同时由于新车采用iQ全铝平台,因此车重将降低100公斤。至于动力系统,捷豹将不再采用福特引擎,转而提供自家开发的Ingenium引擎,新引擎重量将降低80公斤。绝大部分引擎都与XE共享,但输出功率和扭矩或许将获得提升。高端版本仍为XFR和XFR-S,顶级款仍由Special Vehicle Operations部门开发,据传功率将达到447千瓦/600马力。新一代捷豹XF将于明年秋初开始交付客户,而现行版XF Sportbrake将继续在市场延续至2016年底。
All-new Jaguar XF to debut at 2015 New York Auto Show
The second generation Jaguar XF will receive its world premiere in early April at the New York Auto Show.
Set to significantly grow in size, Jaguar's all-new XF will get a design heavily inspired by the smaller XE compact sedan from where it will also inherit the iq[Al] platform which will provide weight savings of up to 100 kg (220 lbs). Thanks to its increased dimensions, the overhauled XF will provide more rear legroom and trunk space which represent two issues of the current model.
In terms of engines, Jaguar will ditch the Ford units in favor of the newly developed Ingenium motors which are up to 80 kg (176 lbs) lighter. Most of them are going to be sourced from the XE but probably with a bit more power to match the weight difference. Sitting on top of the range will once again be the XFR and XFR-S while a flagship variant developed by Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) is rumored to get a V8 engine with almost 600 bhp (447 kW).
Deliveries of the second-gen Jaguar XF will commence in the early autumn of next year while the current XF Sportbrake will probably live on until late 2016 before being replaced by a new model.
