It follows two years on from the introduction of the second generation XF saloon.

The new model was revealed by tennis player Sir Andy Murray with a live broadcast via Jaguar’s Facebook channel – themed around the annual Wimbledon tennis tournament that starts later this month.
Both XF model lines are produced at Jaguar Land Rover’s Castle Bromwich Plant alongside the XE, XJ and F-TYPE model lines.
Earlier this year Jaguar Land Rover’s latest Ingenium engines were introduced to the XF range to deliver improved efficiency, lower running costs and enhanced performance. Updates included the new 200PS and 250PS Ingenium petrol engines, as well as new convenience and safety features.
Among the features on the new vehicle, Jaguar’s Driver Condition Monitoring system detects signs of drowsiness and warn drivers when they need to take a break, and joins a full suite of driver assistance and safety systems. There’s also the introduction of a gesture control blind for the panoramic roof, gesture tailgate opening nd Jaguar’s wearable waterproof ‘Activity Key’ for running, cycling and water sports.
