Evolution Of The Jaguar

Jaguar XJ6


This particular model is a 1997 Jaguar XJ6 Executive. As seen above, this motor is a classic. The XJ6 was introduced in September 1968.

The model included power-assisted steering and leather textile coverings, as well as air conditioning. Advertisements focusing on this car when it came out included quotes such as "the finest Jaguar ever".

An unusual feature inherited from the Mark X and S-Type saloons was the twin fuel tanks, positioned on each side of the boot, bringing a unique factor to the motor. The car was clearly a success in many departments years ago, but even recent reviews of the car were favourable, noting the effective brakes and smooth quality on the road was surprising for an older vehicle.


Jaguar XF Luxury


The Motor above is a 2014 Jaguar XF. The Jaguar XF was first produced in 2007. Lightweight aluminium construction and a range of efficient engines help the XF deliver sustainable running costs for company car users, while the car benefits from Jaguar's proven handling know-how to deliver a composed and engaging driving experience. This motor can also be used as a sporty saloon or a cossetting cruiser, with a comfortable, luxurious interior. Sharp styling, a strong range of engines and an engaging chassis mean the XF is well worth considering as an alternative to its German rivals.

The Jaguar XF that arrived in 2007 was the first car for sale in Jaguar dealers that saw the British company move away from the retro looks of past models to a new, more modern appearance.

In April 2011, Jaguar revealed the details of a facelift for the XF at the New York International Auto Show, with manufacturing beginning in July 2011.

The facelift includes front and rear styling changes which are based on the original Jaguar C-XF concept car, internal trim enhancements, adaptive cruise control, and a new four-cylinder 187 hp, 2.2-litre diesel engine, which is combined with a new eight-speed automatic transmission.

Overall, the Jaguar XF has a very solid driving performance, modern interior design and technology, practicality, comfort, as well as being a reliable everyday car, showing how the Jaguar has evolved in modern times.

Mercedes: CLS vs S Class

  CLS 250 Powered by a twin-turbo 2.1-litre diesel engine with 201bhp and 369lb ft of torque, the CLS 250 CDI not only has more than adequate performance but also gives usefully lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions than any of its six-pot siblings. This diesel is more refined than any other Mercs and in any case, everything becomes silky and quiet when it reaches over the 30mph mark, aided by a very smooth seven-speed paddle-shift automatic gearbox. Along with this, with so much torque, its in-gear performance is very impressive. One of the CLS’s biggest attributes is its eye catching cabin. Its shallow windows create a coupé-like scenery and it has enough extra luxury features to make it feel more high-end than an E-class. The CLS is also noticeably more agile than the equivalent E-class; you wouldn’t call it sporty, but it’s highly satisfying to drive – and not just at speed on a motorway. Well worth purchasing as a cheaper version with many of the same aspects making t...

Focus vs RS

  Ford Focus   This particular model is a 2010 Ford Focus. The focus was first introduced in 1988. The car had everything, from its combination of dashing looks, flexible packaging and engaging handling, the focus was up there with the very best. Twenty years and four generations later, the Focus can still be found at the top of its game.   The Ford Focus can be seen as a competitively priced family hatchback as well as having attention given to driver enjoyment and driving quality, along with interior space and practicality. A good range of petrol and diesel engines compliments the car even more meaning people can choose the type of focus which suits them best. In terms of size, the Ford Focus sits neatly between the smaller Ford Fiesta and large Ford Mondeo. There’s also an estate version of the Ford Focus if you need even more space and practicality.   Overall an extremely worthy car to rely on, competitively priced against it’s biggest competito...

BMW: X5 vs 5 Series

  X5 The latest BMW X5 adds to the appeal of its predecessors with new platform engineering that sees a significant tech upgrade to infotainment and safety systems, but also brings improvements to practicality and design. The X5’s styling is crisp and contemporary, with a luxurious interior that moves the game on considerably in the latest BMW style. There are limited engine choices, but each version delivers admirable performance and efficiency. The addition of an Off Road package brings an extra dimension to the X5 as well, although the focus is still very much on-road handling and performance.  The origional was launched way back in 1999, which was notable for helping to popularise the concept of an SUV with four-wheel drive and a chassis set up exclusively for swift road use. There are two trim levels to pick from. The xLine comes with 19-inch alloys, LED headlights and tail-lamps, air suspension and luxuries such as heated leather seats, parking assist and wireles...
