Jaguar is keen also to plug the practicality of the new car. Up front, careful cabin design significantly increases the impression of extra width. If you ever considered an XF and decided against it on the basis of tight rear accommodation, think again. In the real world it’s noticeable - the improvements are quantified via 15, 24 and 27mm increases in leg, knee and head room respectively. This plays an even more important role – allowing extra light into the cabin, which in turn helps reinforce the effect of the new car’s extra rear cabin space.Īlthough the XF has gone from being one of the longest cars in its segment to one of the shortest (Audi’s A6 is shorter, but just), Jaguar claims segment-leading rear seat space. The side profile gains extra glazing in the D-pillar – a measure to “reinforce the car’s status and prestige”, says Jaguar. At the pointy end the pyro-equipped deployable bonnet is dropped a considerable 35mm. The undeniably handsome new car’s wheelbase is 51mm longer (2960mm) than the car it replaces, yet its overhangs are tighter (the front was shortened by a solid 66mm) and the new car is both shorter overall (7mm) and lower (3mm) than the series it replaces.
