• First Jaguar to adopt R-Sport brand
• New R-Sport styling
• Optional Black Pack
• 3.0-litre V6 supercharged engine
PRETORIA – Jaguar’s XF is the first model to benefit from the automaker’s new R-Sport brand in South Africa.
While Jaguar’s performance models have long been marketed under its 'R' banner, the new R-Sport badge, the automaker says, “extends the automaker’s performance DNA, a first in the XF range”. According to Jaguar: "The XF R-Sport makes the Jaguar R dream a little more attainable."
The new R-Sport benefits from several cosmetic upgrades including new spoiler, redesigned bumpers, 18” alloys and R-style side-sills. The new model gains R-Sport treadplates and R-badging.
'THRILLING PERFORMANCE'
The optional black pack adds gloss surrounds for the windows and bootlid as well as a black grille with black, chromed surrounds. It’s powered by Jaguar’s 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine capable of 250kW/450Nm.
Jaguar Land Rover South Africa brand manager Janico Dannhauser said: “We wanted to give our customers an XF model that strikes the right balance between superb comfort and sport.
