Jaguar's 12MY Range now available in Middle East North America (MENA) Showrooms

Jaguar's 12MY Range

Jaguar Middle East and North Africa has announced the arrival of its highly anticipated 12MY line up across MENA showrooms. Unveiled at the Geneva and New York motor shows earlier this year, the 12MY fleet features the newly renovated, award winning XF and enhanced flagship XJ, as well as the debut of the XKR-S, Jaguar’s fastest production vehicle to date reaching speeds of up to 300 kph.

A saloon with the soul of a sports car, the XF has won accolades and enthusiastic fans across the globe for its dynamic abilities and dramatic looks. Advances in lighting technology has allowed the new 2012 XF model range to adopt the bold Jaguar design language introduced on the flagship XJ saloon. The supercharged XFR has received a unique, assertive styling treatment that signals the performance available in this quintessential Jaguar saloon.

The 2012 model year XK builds on the car’s award-winning reputation as a high-performance sporting GT. A new range-topping variant, the XKR-S, creates a new performance flagship for Jaguar by becoming its most powerful production car ever, capable of reaching 300kph, and 0-100kph in 4.4 seconds. Purposeful cosmetic alterations to the front and rear have been made to the entire XK range, bringing its visual appeal right up to date, while further personalization options are available to both the car’s performance and styling through a series of special order upgrade packages. New interior options will allow the discerning driver to emphasize either the luxury or performance aspects of the XK’s nature.



For the flagship Jaguar XJ luxury saloon, a suite of enhancements to the interior and options list for 12MY includes a new Rear Seat Comfort package, which incorporates electric recline, lumbar adjustment and massage functions to reinforce the ultimate executive limousine experience. Jaguar has also introduced a 3.0-litre petrol V6 engine, a derivative created especially for the MENA, China and Russia markets. The XJ is truly a product of the 21st century and is the clearest indication yet of the singular sense of purpose behind Design Director Ian Callum’s vision for the future of Jaguar.

Robin Colgan, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Middle East and North Africa said: “Our new fleet is the strongest embodiment of the Jaguar essence that we have seen in decades. We now have three very different beautiful fast cars, which are each at the forefront of their individual categories. We’re incredibly excited about our 2012 XK, XF and XJ which will break new boundaries in performance and design. This is the culmination of over 75 years of racing heritage and we’re thrilled to be able to share the performance and racing aptitude of these vehicles with our customers in the MENA region.”

Substantial changes and improvements across the range have brought performance, refinement and economy to new levels, strengthening the contemporary appeal of Jaguar’s latest line-up. Vehicles are available for viewing and test drives now through Jaguar’s exclusive importers.

2012 Jaguar XJ sports sedan available in New Zealand

 

Jaguar’s NZ distributor has just landed the updated 2012 version of its luxury flag ship – the XJ sports sedan. With new equipment and pricing for 2012 the XJ apparently allows for greater personalisation and flexibility of use, with the first models  available in New Zealand now.

Prices for the 2012 model start from $155,000 and the new XJ now offers the Rear Seat Comfort pack. This feature allows the electric adjustment of the backrest recline angle, four-way lumbar support and a massage function. Increased comfort is also provided by new winged headrests and rear seat footrests. The Rear Seat Comfort pack is standard on the long wheel base Supersport model and an option on the others in the XJ range.

There are new interior colour combination for 2012, available with both the Premium Luxury and Portfolio trim levels. There’s a Jet/Ivory option that features ivory seating with contrast jet stitching, piping and upper surfaces while the headlining is available in either colour, according to customer preference.

“An XJ should be the ultimate in comfort, design and refinement. The bespoke interior changes  incorporated for the 2012 model make it an even more special car to drive or be driven in,” said Paul Ricketts, the brand manager for Jaguar New Zealand.

There’s a unique full-length panoramic glass roof that floods the cabin with natural light adding to a sense of spaciousness while retaining the sleek coupé-like profile and lithe stance for which Jaguars are famous.

In terms of construction the XJ uses a lightweight aluminium structure – 50 percent of which is made from recycled materials, this helps with improved fuel consumption and reduced emissions. The weight saved by the use of Aluminium – an average of 150kg compared to its rivals – also has benefits for performance and agility.

Under the bonnet there is a choice of three litre turbo diesel V6 engine and V8 five litre, with or without supercharging. All engines are coupled to a shift-by-wire, six-speed automatic transmission controlled by the JaguarDrive Selector or steering wheel-mounted paddles.

The cabin of the XJ blends chrome and piano black detailing with leather and wood veneer surfaces. There’s 30cm high-definition virtual instruments with a clever dual-view 20cm touch-screen that allows the passenger to view DVD movies or TV programmes while the driver is provided with vehicle functions or satellite-navigation directions.

Premium surround sound options include a 1200W Bowers & Wilkins system and advanced infotainment features also include hard-drive based audio and navigation systems and comprehensive connectivity for portable audio and video devices via the powerful Media Hub.
