Jaguar X-Type

Jaguar X-Type, 2008

The Jaguar X-Type gets a fresh look for 2008, along with a host of new features inside and outside the vehicle and a new automatic transmission in the acclaimed 2.2 diesel. With significant revisions including nearly 500 new components, the new generation Jaguar X-Type retains all the original car's strengths, and adds some new ones of its own.

The new Jaguar X-Type's exterior styling is significantly refreshed - with changes that reflect some of Jaguar's new saloon car design language - with subtle interior revisions and greater choice of trim and equipment, further emphasising the Jaguar X-Type's premium car credentials.

For the first time in this model range, the new Jaguar X-Type now offers the combination of diesel power with automatic transmission - pairing the 2.2 litre diesel with a six-speed automatic, and the one-touch control of Jaguar Sequential Shift - broadening the new model's appeal to buyers who previously could not have this combination in an Jaguar X-Type.

The new Jaguar X-Type automatic diesel combines high levels of refinement with optimised performance and economy, and promises more choice and even greater luxury, to appeal especially to a younger, more family-orientated audience.

The diesel-automatic alternative
For the first time in the Jaguar X-Type range, buyers can opt for diesel power and an automatic transmission. The 2.2 litre diesel is paired with a new six-speed automatic gearbox, which has the added attraction of 'one-touch control' Jaguar Sequential Shift, for manual gearchanges.

The six gear ratios are chosen to deliver refined cruising while maintaining sporty performance - the balance that Jaguar research shows an Jaguar X-Type owner wants. Where the 2.2 litre diesel with manual transmission can achieve maximum torque from second gear, the new combination can achieve maximum torque in all six gears, utilising optimum gear change points to ensure best use of the available torque. This delivers significant benefits to performance 'feel' and the performance of the diesel automatic is impressively close to that of the diesel with the manual transmission. In the new Jaguar X-Type saloon, the 2.2D manual version has headline figures of 0-60mph in 8.7 seconds (0-100kph in 9.1 seconds), a maximum speed of 134mph (216kph), a combined economy of 47.1mpg (6.0l/100km), and a CO2 rating of 159g/km. The respective figures for the 2.2D automatic are 9.5 seconds (9.9 seconds), 129mph (208kph), 41 mpg (6.9l/100km) and 184g/km. The comparative figures - shown in full in the specification tables - are similar for estate versions.

Thanks to the new transmission's advanced electronic control, it offers rapid responses to shift commands, and a choice of operating modes. Moving from fully automatic to 'manual' mode automatically selects a 'Sports' setting: this delivers more involving, sporty shift dynamics - with the added benefit of simple, one-touch up- or down-shifts using the Jaguar Sequential Shift programme.

As well as the changes needed to install the new transmission, extensive measures were taken to optimise cooling, weight and noise, and vibration and harshness (NVH) characteristics. These include at a physical level, a greater volume of and improvements to sound insulation materials, while in the electronic arena the Engine Speed Control (ESC) smoothes downshifts and the torque converter is given a degree of slip that both improves its NVH qualities and gives improved drivability and economy.

Building on its strengths
The new Jaguar X-Type announces its arrival with a fresh new look that reflects Jaguar's new design language.

The exterior surfaces are clean, confident and above all, contemporary, visually confirming the new Jaguar X-Type as a thoroughly modern Jaguar. The frontal styling introduces a new '3D' bright mesh grille, with a bold frame and body coloured outer surround that echo the design themes of both the XJ and XF. And the new Jaguar X-Type is proud of its Jaguar identity, with a new Jaguar 'growler' emblem prominently mounted within the mesh grille.

New front bumper covers define the new Jaguar X-Type's face, with taut, clean lines and neatly integrated side marker reflectors. A bright 'splitter' in the lower air intakes also adds visual width to the new Jaguar X-Type, while the front bumper neatly incorporates colour-keyed sensors for the next-generation park-aid system and re-profiled covers for the headlamp power-wash system where those features are fitted.

The redesigned rear bumper continues the clean, confident theme, with smooth, simple surfaces that shrink the visual mass of the rear of the car. Echoing the bright splitter in the front, a full-width bright chrome signature blade gives the new Jaguar X-Type a strong identity in line with the rest of the Jaguar range. In another neat touch, a new roof-mounted Antenna Pod for saloon and Estate replaces the previous aerial.

The lower, sportier profile is underlined by cleaner, more modern side mouldings, while replacing the side indicator repeaters with bold new Jaguar 'ingot' badges adds a striking piece of jewellery to the front fenders - very much in line with new Jaguar design. The Sport pack also offers a subtle body-coloured rear boot-lid spoiler.

The new door mirrors offer maximum functionality (including the options of memory settings and power foldback), and are either body-colour or - in some markets - have chrome highlights. They also include integrated side repeaters - again, a feature common to the new XJ and new XF.

The strong new growler grille badge clearly identifies the X-Type as a Jaguar, and there is a new script style for the X-Type badge. High-specification models are appropriately identified by an Executive or Sovereign badge, but aside from this, simplicity is the key with the all-wheel drive, AWD badges and engine identifier badges seen on the previous generation X-Type deleted, for a cleaner look.

Completing the external visual changes, the new Jaguar X-Type introduces two new five-spoke alloy wheel styles - the 17-inch Barbados and 18-inch Abaco - while the exterior colour palette ranges from Porcelain White to the new Ultimate Black, with Pearl Grey, Glacier Blue, Chilli, Winter Gold, Liquid Silver and Emerald Fire among the other choices.

The inside story
The interior freshening of the new Jaguar X-Type complements the exterior changes, focussing on contemporary Jaguar design, but with familiar levels of comfort, luxury and craftsmanship.

The new Jaguar X-Type introduces four new seat styles, each with its own matching door trim.
One has leather borders with sport cloth centre cushions, and bold new horizontal twin-needle stitching - complemented by door trim pads matching the two seat trim colours, Champagne or Warm Charcoal. Those seats also have electrical four-way adjustment, for both driver and front passenger.

Customers wanting a sportier interior trim can choose the Sports Pack. In soft grain leather with twin-needle diamond stitching for the centre cushions, in contrasting colours - Warm Charcoal leather with Stone stitching, Ivory or Spice with Warm Charcoal - the Sports Pack seats have ten-way adjustment with driver's seat memory function, and the luxurious diamond-stitching pattern repeated in the matched door trims.

The range-topping Luxury Pack also offers ten-way adjustment, with memory, plus a subtly different all-leather style, combining horizontal stitching and contrasting piping - Champagne leather with Warm Charcoal piping (or vice versa), and Ivory leather with piping in another new colour, Oyster. The Luxury door trim matches the seats, but adds traditional walnut inserts.

A dark, distinctively-grained Rosewood veneer is a new option with a fresh, contemporary design feel, and depending on model includes the automatic shift surround and ashtray lid.

Piano Black is a modern, stylish and luxurious option that is often seen as an expensive option on some rivals, but which comes as standard as the facia highlights on the opening trim level for the new Jaguar X-Type. These same models also include a Charcoal leather gearknob on manual versions, Piano Black shift knob and surround on petrol automatic versions, and leather with Piano Black inserts for the new diesel automatic combination.

Jaguar C-XF Concept V8 4.2L com 420cv ano 2007








Construído como um sedã de quatro portas, o C-XF,vai conviver com o S-Type R, atual sedã esporte da marca, podendo substituí-lo em seguida. Os modelos compartilham o motor, um V8 de 4,2 litros de cilindrada e sobrealimentado por compressor, que no C-XF chega à potência de 420 cv , com nada menos do que 50,9 kgfm de torque máximo, disponíveis, segundo a fábrica, já a baixas rotações.

O Jaguar C-XF foi desenhado pelo grupo chefiado por Ian Callum e Julian Thomson, o mesmo que traçou o novo XK, versões cupê e conversível. As inspirações foram os clássicos Mark VII, de 1950, e Mark 2, de 1959. Entre as mudanças marcantes de visual, destaca-se o novo conjunto ótico dianteiro, não mais dividido em pares, como nos sedãs atuais. A linha de cintura alta segue a tendência atual, colaborando para a acentuada imponência do modelo, destacada pela dianteira, em que os traços do Jaguar são percebidos. A traseira, com a coluna “C” bastante inclinada, colabora para que o sedã tenha ares de um cupê, assim como o alemão Mercedes-Benz CLS.

Seu interior reserva um show à parte. Sentado ao volante, para dar a partida o motorista pressiona um botão no console central que pulsa, segundo a Jaguar, “como o coração do carro”. O câmbio, denominado JaguarDrive, possui seletor circular, em vez da convencional alavanca. Com o motor em funcionamento, uma luz azul acende, circundando a cabine; o teto se ilumina e outra luz da mesma cor se acende na grade dianteira, assinalando o V8.

Jaguar XK motor V8 com 300 cv de potência - 2007








O motor V8 de 300 cv tem um ronco encorpado como um cabernet sauvignon argentino, o que o torna vigoroso mesmo com o bom isolamento da cabine. O Jaguar XK vai de 0 a 100 km/h em 6,2 segundos. Sua velocidade máxima, limitada eletronicamente, é de 250 km/h. O mais impressionante, porém, é ver o ponteiro do velocímetro chegar aos 210 km/h, na marca de 1500 metros de pista. Os freios o fazem parar de forma exemplar.

O XK conta com ABS, EBD e também ESP com uma função chamada TRAC, que permite ao motorista optar por maior tolerância de escorregamento nas curvas, para uma condução mais esportiva. Isso ocorre porque o sistema atrasa sua intervenção, proporcionando a chance de controlar o carro sem o auxílio da eletrônica.

O esportivo oferece faróis bi-xenônio, protetor de pescoço para colisões traseiras e airbags que ajustam seu modo de enchimento, levando em conta a proximidade do ocupante pela posição do assento no trilho e se ele está ou não de cinto afivelado. Mas a principal novidade é o sistema de segurança para pedestres, que inclui o pára-choque dianteiro de plástico e espuma deformável e o capô que se eleva para minimizar o impacto do corpo da pessoa contra o carro, em caso de atropelamento. Esse sistema conta com sensores localizados nos pára-choques capazes de distinguir um atropelamento de outros tipos de choque.

O capô é projetado em até 9 centímetros de altura, em cerca de 30 milissegundos. A combinação de beleza e prazer ao dirigir têm seu preço, geralmente alto. Com o XK não seria diferente. Ele custa 450 000 reais, na mesma faixa de rivais mais bem equipados, como o BMW 650 Ci e o Mercedes SL 500. O campeão nesse quesito é o Maserati Coupe, vendido por 590 000 reais.

Jaguar XJR Portfolio V8 4.2L com 400cv ano 2007








O modelo tem edição limitada em 100 unidades, destinadas exclusivamente ao mercado inglês. Ele conta com itens que o diferenciam do restante a linha, como as saídas de ar laterais, que trazem moldura de alumínio. As rodas do carro, de 20 polegadas, apresentam desenho exclusivo.

Além disso, as saídas de escape são cromadas e a grade do radiador conta com insertos diferenciados. O exterior é finalizado em uma única cor, preto metálico. Na cabine, a Jaguar revestiu os bancos, com acabamento esportivo, de couro bege. O fabricante investiu na abundância de detalhes de cromo, presentes na alavanca do câmbio, entre outros componentes do interior do XJR.

No quesito entretenimento, há rádio com tela 'touchscreen', cujos controles são feitos por meio de toques no próprio monitor. O sistema de som da série especial traz 12 alto-falantes. Também está disponível tecnologia Bluetooth, que permite ao motorista falar ao telefone celular sem necessidade de tocar o aparelho.

A segurança é um dos pontos fortes; a Jaguar oferece freios ABS, controle dinâmico de estabilidade (DSC), controle de tração, entre outros equipamentos. Sob o capô está o motor 4.2 V8, de 400 cavalos. Segundo o fabricante, ele é capaz de levar o modelo de 0 a 100 km/h em 5,5 segundos. O sedã utiliza câmbio automático de seis marchas, com função seqüencia.

Jaguar R-D6 Concept 2.7L motor Biturbo a Diesel








Com toda a característica da marca, o Jaguar R-D6 leva confortavelmente 4 pessoas, com acabamento em couro e interior com partes em alumínio sem perder a potência. O motor conta com um sistema bi-turbo de 2.7 litros movido ao diesel. Com ess carro a Jaguar passa a mensagem que planeja produzir veículos de força e estilo em seu futuro.

O Jaguar R-D6 lembra os outros modelos da marca apenas pela grade do radiador e pelos faróis. O resto é totalmente novo. A traseira do tipo hatch rompe a tradição de carros três volumes, com o porta-malas saliente. É feito de alumínio e o motor tem dois turbos. Um sistema de controle eletrônico mantém a velocidade máxima em 250 quilômetros por hora.
