The Jaguar XF is an all-new sport sedan which replaces the S-Type. Although it is a mid-size luxury car which competes with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6, it significantly moves Jaguar upmarket with prices ranging between $68,000 to $110,000, more than stepping into its older brother, the Jaguar XJ's, territory. The new car will be developed in Coventry and will be built in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham, U.K.

Unique Attributes
If there are any features of this vehicle that sets it apart from other vehicles in its class, then mention those unique attributes here.
Interior
Due to the efforts of Jaguar's Principal Interior designer, Alister Whelan, the Jaguar XF's interior marks a distinct departure from conservative Jaguar "acres-of-wood" British interior to what he calls "...a very contemporary space". Highly modern, the once-dominant Jaguar dashboard motif of employing extensive wood paneling makes way for an expanse of geometric and sculpted aluminum anchored by only a small sliver of wood trimming. With laser-like Phosphor blue halo lighting now accenting all instrumentation, the dashboard fascia finds itself dominated by a 7-inch Multimedia/Navigation screen that acts as a centralized command post. It is flanked by rotating air-vents that hide into the dash when the vehicle is turned off. The "acres-of-wood" itself can now be found in unlikely places that defy traditional interior design norms (at times, recalling the interiors of the R-Coupe and RD-6 concept cars) and definitely make ailing Jaguar's point known that they are spearheading to the future regardless.
By far, however, the car's undeniably cool showpiece is its innovative JaguarDrive gear selector: a silver rotating knob (similar only in appearance to Audi's MMI, BMW's iDrive or Mercedes-Benz's COMAND) found on the center console that controls the Automatic transmission's setting. Upon switching off the vehicle, the knob recedes flush into the console and upon turning the car back on, it pops back up again.
The rest of the interior is swathed in different combinations of perforated and non-perforated Bond Grain and Softgrain leather. Finished with twin-needle stitching, the color palette range from subdued traditional Jag (Ivory/Oyster) to the avant-garde (Spice/Charcoal). While whatever wood there is can be had in three choices; namely, Satin American Walnut, Burl Walnut and straight-grained Rich Oak.
