Jaguar XF 2.2D luxury sedan will be launched soon in Indian market at lower price range by Jaguar Land Rover. Jaguar XF 2.2D comes with a fresh and attractive look so car buyers surely attract towards it. Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5-Series will be the competitors of Jaguar XF 2.2D. Jaguar XF 2.2D is the first sedan that will be assembled in India. This new 2.2D luxury sedan will also ideally suit to Indian customers. Jaguar XF 2.2D is featured with smaller bi-Xenon lights, and the new XJ-like slit-eye headlamps with stylized ‘J’ traced out in LED.

New smaller bi-Xenon lights will allow for a lower bonnet line. Wheel arches and new elongated, three-dimensional tail-lamps will also be included in this sedan. Several new themes and elements have been included in Jaguar XF 2.2D to freshen up the cabin but the basic design of the interiors is similar to previous models. Jaguar has lost some of the glossy material on the central console whereas when users start the car, the vents still flip open and the gear knob still goes up similar to Excalibur from the pond for that sense of event.

Jaguar XF 2.2D luxury sedan will contain a start/stop activation button on the central console and a host of new equipment such as Bluetooth and iPod compatibility. This car will not have sense of occasion that the E-class and 5-series appear to be able to muster. It is appeared that rear comfort is not as much a priority in this car because the roof is low coupé-like. The XF shows a surprising turn of foot, regardless of the motor not having twin turbos. It is pretty clear that this motor has carried plenty of work out and the list of developments is endless.

Jaguar XF 2.2D will include a double layer of thick insulation under the bonnet, the water-cooled turbocharger, modified block and sump. Flat-out performance of this car is very impressive. Star-stop system of this car is very effective but may be this function is removed for India and a six-speed gearbox is included in its place. Jaguar XF 2.2D looks pretty sporty from behind the wheel. It also contains electric steering system to boast a fair amount of feel. It is expected that Jaguar XF 2.2D will be available in India later 2011 with the price tag of approximately Rs. 35 lakh.
