A new 163 PS
version of the popular and highly efficient XF powered by a 2.2-litre,
four-cylinder diesel engine, is set to be launched aimed at delivering greater
value than ever before.
Drawing on the
strengths of the existing 190PS model, an example of which recently crossed the
United States at
|  | 62.9 mpg, the new, lower output derivative of the 2.2-litre engine will mean the XF range now starts at £29,950. Despite the lower
starting price the new model features an extensive range of standard equipment
including suedecloth and leather seats, a touch screen centrally mounted
display, electronic climate control and an advanced 8-speed gearbox complete
with automatic Stop-Start.
The XF 2.2D 163 PS
is capable of accelerating from a standstill to 62mph in 9.8 seconds before
reaching a maximum speed of 130 mph. On the combined cycle it can achieve
52.3 mpg and it emits 149 g/km of CO2.
Jaguar dealers are
taking orders for the new car now ahead of the first deliveries taking place in
March. | | | The advanced Audi
A6 is about to add more brawn to complement its highly sophisticated electronic
'brain'.
The third
generation A6 allroad quattro with its customarily tougher stance and
four-level adaptive air suspension makes its world debut. Due to become
available to order in the UK next month from |  | £43,145, the A6 allroad
quattro will reach its first customers here in the spring.
The first two
generations of the allroad quattro, launched in 2000 and 2006, enjoyed
considerable success, and Audi hopes to build on this in the latest car by
combining their outstanding versatility with even greater efficiency that is
reflected in fuel economy improvements of up to 20 per cent.
Three engines available
initially - 3.0 TFSI with 310PS and 440Nm, 3.0 TDI with 204PS and 450Nm, 3.0
TDI with 245PS and 580Nm.
