Refreshing or Revolting: 2016 Jaguar XF - Motor Trend

And now, during the 2015 New York International Auto Show, Jaguar will debut the new 2016 XF. However, when first glancing at the new model, it's not easy to tell it apart from the outgoing model. While the new and outgoing model share many similarities, there are subtle changes that bring the new 2016 Jaguar XF into modern times. For starters, Jaguar has implemented the use of aluminum which now accounts for around 75 percent of the body, cutting 132 pounds on RWD models and 265 pounds on AWD models. The new XF is also almost unnoticeably smaller, with 0. 3 inches shaved off its length and 0. 1 inches off its height. Compared to the outgoing model , the new Jaguar XF offers slight detail changes that improve the overall design. While the outgoing model's taillights seem to wrap around the chrome bar running along the rear, the new taillight design on the 2016 XF rounds underneath that now much-sleeker bar, giving off a more aggressive look. New design elements can also be found in the cabin, which gets a new infotainment system among other things. While the new model comes with a standard Jaguar InControl Touch with an 8-inch screen, customers can opt for the larger 10. 2-inch screen that features a solid-state drive, a quad-core processor, and an "ultra-fast Ethernent connection.
