2008 Jaguar XF

By Alborz Fallah |

Ford’s luxury arm, Jaguar today announced a new sports saloon, the Jaguar XF. The new cat which we are still able to find any photos of, will make its public debut next spring (southern hemisphere). Positioned in the luxury mid-size segment, the new Jaguar XF will replace the S-TYPE saloon in the Jaguar model line-up.

The new XF has gone through an extensive design and development phase at Jaguar’s Product Development Centre at Whitley in Coventry, UK whilst the actual production will take place at Jaguar’s Advanced Manufacturing Centre at Castle Bromwich in Birmingham, UK.

“The Jaguar XF is a new sports saloon that will challenge people to think again about Jaguar as daring and different,” commented Bibiana Boerio, managing director of Jaguar Cars.

“Our new XK sports car has been very well-received and is enjoying great success. We are now moving on to the next stage of Jaguar’s exciting new design era – and if you like the new XK, just wait until you see the new Jaguar XF!”

The photo above is of the Jaguar XF concept car which came to light in 2003, obviously, I am guessing the new XF will share some characteristics with the concept but no official images yet. Customer deliveries of the new Jaguar XF will commence globally in spring (n/h) 2008, and in Australia later that year.

    No. This XF has nothing whatsoever to do with the upcoming XF, S-Type replacement. Nothing.

    This is the 2003 Fuore XF 10, designed by The FUORE DESIGN team, above all Erwin Himmel.

    Jaguar will be showing a concept car in Detroit in January that is said to strongly hint at the XF proper, which will be shown in the Autumn and go on sale in early 2008.

    Nice name ‘Jaguar XF’, but I don’t like the car, too aggressive, and not sleek, not classy :D .

    The XF looks fantastic but I’m not sure that it will be paractical for taking the kids to the footy.

    The XF is one of the best looking cars I’ve seen in recent years. Well done, Jaguar.

    Great looking car. The XK has set some good results and this looks likely to enhance them.

    Jaguar are riding a crest of the wave at the moment. Dramatically improved quality and styling/design. Cynics might say that there have been many attempts to destroy Jaguar, including Ford, but they have survived those attempts. Hope they survive the current economic client because i want to see more from them.

    Jaguar’s styling has improved dramatically and the XK is a case in point. Hope they keep producing good looking cars as it’s bound to affect their survival.
