Full 2012 Jaguar Range to Make UK Debut at Motorexpo

The new Jaguar lineup provides refined styling, more performance and greater efficiency than ever before, and it will make is official UK debut at the Motorexpo, held at Canary Wharf between June 6 and 12. The sporty British brand will arrive with the 186 mph XKR-S as well as the most efficient Jaguar yet created, the XF 2.2. The facelifted XK and XFR will also make their presence felt.

The XF range sees a new look and a new powertrain from September 2011. A new four cylinder 2.2-litre diesel engine promises to deliver the refinement and performance expected of a Jaguar yet is capable of delivering over 50 mpg and a range in excess of 800 miles.

A subtle refresh has been applied to the award-winning interior of the XF with colour central and dial-mounted screens relaying reprogrammed navigation and entertainment software. Redesigned seats offer a sportier look and greater support. The new XF will go on sale in September with prices starting at £30,950 for the 2.2-litre diesel engine and rising to £65,350 for the XFR.

The star of the XK range is the XKR-S that has a top speed of 186mph (300km/h). The numbers speak for themselves: 0-60mph takes 4.2 seconds, with 0-100mph dismissed in just 8.6 seconds.

For the ‘regular’ XK and XKR, the most significant changes take place at the front with a set of more slimmer headlight units with subtle LED running lights.  These sit above a new, larger oval grille framed in chrome with mesh in the centre that, in the case of the XKR, is finished in black. The models will go on sale in September with prices starting at £65,000 for the XK coupe rising to £97,000 for the XKR-S.
