New Jaguar XF R-Sport Black model revealed

Jaguar has announced changes to its Jaguar XF line-up, which now includes a new R-Sport Black model and upgrades to other trim levels.

The revisions, which Jaguar hopes will maintain customer interest in the firm's current BMW 5-series rival, come ahead of the launch of an all-new XF, which is due to be unveiled at the New York motor show in April. 

Priced from £38,350, the R-Sport Black costs £2100 more than the standard R-Sport on which it is based but comes with £8770 worth of upgrades.

The R-Sport Black comes with 20in Black Kalimnos alloys, a 770W Meridian Surround Sound system, leather interior, sports seats with memory function and a choice of five paint options.

The model is powered by Jaguar’s 197bhp 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel engine.

All models in the XF saloon and Sportbrake range will now come with the Winter Comfort Pack and Parking Pack as standard, which together include heated seats and windscreen, front parking sensors and a rear-view camera.

Portfolio, Diesel S Portfolio, XFR and XFR-S models all get Blind Spot Monitor as standard, and most models get upgraded alloys.

SE, SE Business and Premium Luxury trims have been discontinued, as have the 3.0-litre V6 petrol and 3.0-litre TDV6 diesel engines.
