Jaguar has released first official photos of the new XF sedan. The second-generation XF is roomier, lighter and more frugal than its predecessor. It is also far more technologically advanced than the earlier car. The new XF will be shown to the general public for the first time at the upcoming New York Auto Show 2015. We can safely expect Jaguar to showcase the new XF in India later this year or at the Auto Expo 2016.

Built around the company’s latest aluminium architecture, which it shares with the XE, the Mk2 XF is powered by Jaguar Land Rover’s all-new 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol and diesel engines, as well as a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre diesel V6 and a supercharged 3.0-litre petrol V6.

Like the Jaguar XE, the XF uses 75 percent aluminum in its construction. Its front-to-rear weight distribution comes to about 50/50 as the rear structure is made mainly of steel which adds weight at the car’s rear. According to the manufacturer, the new XF is 30 percent stiffer and around 190kg lighter than its predecessor. The new XF also shares its suspension setup with the XE.

The new XF’s steering uses the 
same electric power-assisted set-up as the F-Type and XE. Active dampers will be on the options list. A feature called Jaguar Configurable Dynamics will allow the 
driver to tailor the settings 
of the dampers, steering, engine and eight-speed automatic gearbox.
