The wheelbase is 2960 mm which is 51 mm longer than before. The new Jaguar XF uses aluminium as major component in its construction which makes it 190 kg lighter than its predecessor.
On the inside, the new XF gets a new InControl Touch Pro Infotainment system with a 10.2 screen. There is a Bespoke 825W Meridian digital surround sound system with 17 speakers and there is a new 12.3 inch TFT instrument cluster.
