DRIVING PERFORMANCE

XF responds with agility and performs with dynamism while always maintaining ride comfort. This is thanks, in part, to XF's light, yet exceptionally strong and stiff, Lightweight Aluminium Architecture. It’s the ideal platform for the sophisticated front double wishbone and rear Integral Link suspension systems and gives XF the spirit of a sports car.

Strong and light aluminium components make up XF’s sophisticated front and rear suspension systems. At the front, a double wishbone suspension structure, similar to F‑TYPE’s, ensures class-leading handling. An Integral Link suspension system at the rear provides stiffness to support handling, improve ride quality even further and extend XF’s breadth of dynamic capability.

The foundation of XF’s impeccable ride, handling, and dynamics is Jaguar’s Lightweight Aluminium Architecture. It facilitates a near perfect 50:50 balance, supporting an agile and precise drive. The weight saved by our extensive use of aluminium improves fuel efficiency, reducing CO₂ emissions to as low as 129g/km² and makes XF one of the lightest cars in its class.

XF offers Jaguar's unique All Wheel Drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD)¹ and Adaptive Surface Response (AdSR)² on petrol and diesel models. Exclusively developed by Jaguar, the unique IDD software features sophisticated algorithms to react intelligently to road conditions. Predictive, as well as reactive, the system helps prevent you from losing traction instead of working to regain it. Adding to XF’s capability, the AdSR system can work at all engine speeds, automatically recognising differences between surfaces to exploit the maximum available grip.

Unique to this class of car, Jaguar’s All Surface Progress Control (ASPC)³ gives you added confidence in slippery conditions – whether starting from a snowy driveway, driving on an icy incline, or even towing on wet grass. ASPC is a low-speed cruise control that helps XF overcome low traction situations, whatever the weather, allowing you to concentrate on steering.

Inspired by the F‑TYPE sports car, the optional Configurable Dynamics⁴ system allows you to set up XF's dynamics for throttle mapping, gearbox shift points and steering to suit your performance driving needs. It’s activated when Dynamic Mode is selected in JaguarDrive Control. Dynamic Mode enlivens XF's sporting character, sharpening throttle response, increasing steering weighting and performing gearshifts more quickly and at higher engine speeds. When optional Adaptive Dynamics is fitted, you can make your setting even more personal by configuring the damper settings.

Whether you're accelerating on the motorway, cornering on country roads or navigating around town, Adaptive Dynamics⁴ modifies XF's response to match the conditions and your driving style. The system constantly adjusts the dampers to provide the optimum balance between poise and comfort at all times.
