All new Jaguar XF to debut at 2015 New York Auto Show

The 2015 Jaguar XF will arrive at the 2015 New York Auto Show, complete with styling from the new XE and a new range of Ingenium engines.

All the Jaguar talk at the moment revolves around the new Jaguar XE, but Jaguar are planning to piggy-back that interest with an all new Jaguar XF which will debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show.

Underpinning the new XF – the current XF is broadly underpinned by the old S-Type – will be a longer version of the aluminium iQ[Al] platform the XE uses, which will mean a drop in weight for the new XF which, combined with the weight savings the new Ingenium engines offer, should mean a lighter and more nimble XF.

But despite a drop in weight, the new XF will be bigger than the current model – addressing the rather cosy back seat issue – and will get styling strongly influenced by the new XE, both inside and out, including the newly stylised Jaguar grill found on the XE and the new (and long overdue) Infotainment System.

Engine choices are going to be taken from Jaguar’s new Ingenium range (in the main), with more powerful versions of the 2.0 litre petrol and diesel, as well as the V6 Supercharged petrol and a V8. And the V8 is likely to be the engine of choice for the XFR and XFR-S with the likelihood we’ll see an AFR with something around 600bhp at some point.

The estate version of the new XF – the new XF Sportbrake – is not expected to arrive at the same time as the saloon, with the current XF continuing for a year or two until a new Sportbrake arrives.
