added expense of springing for a full-on performance model , you
should check out the Jaguar XF R-Sport. It is sure to give you the
best of both worlds.

JAGUAR XF R-SPORT: LUXURY, PERFORMANCE AND PRACTICALITY COMBINED WITH
HIGH EFFICIENCY AND ULTRA LOW EMISSIONS
At-a-glance...
- The new Jaguar XF R-Sport adds real-world efficiency and a raft of
exterior enhancements to the XF range without compromising on the
luxury, performance and refinement expected of a Jaguar saloon
- Available in Saloon and Sportbrake guise, the Jaguar XF R-Sport is
the first Jaguar to adopt the company's new R-Sport branding and is
available with Jaguar's four-cylinder, 2.2-litre diesel 163PS engine,
making the R-Sport capable of achieving 57.7mpg with a CO2 figure of
just 129g/km
- The XF R-Sport is offered with an Intelligent Stop-Start system that
uses a Twin Solenoid Starter (TSS) to shut down the engine when the
car comes to a halt, helping to reduce emissions and improve fuel
consumption
- An eight-speed automatic transmission enables optimal acceleration
through the rev range while still maintaining the composed character
of the XF saloon
- The R-Sport model features unique badging for the side power vent,
steering wheel and new R-Sport branded tread plates, while adopting
the XF Sport front bumper, 'R' style side sills and a unique rear
spoiler give the car an assertive appearance on the road
- 17" Ursa alloy wheels, available in a new Gloss Anthracite
finish, are fitted with 17" low rolling resistance tyres which
help to further reduce emissions
- The car is available with an optional Black styling pack for
additional on-the road presence
- The enhanced R-Sport charcoal-on-charcoal interior features
Suedecloth seats with Dove contrast stitch with optional Red or Tan
contrast stitching further complemented with a choice of Dark Oak,
Piano Black or Carbon Fibre veneers.
"The XF R-Sport opens up the unique Jaguar ownership experience
to a whole new group of customers. Business users and fleet managers
will be able to enjoy the seductive design from the high performance
'R' models, while benefiting from the low emissions and high fuel
efficiency of the powertrain. In short, Intelligent Performance taken
to the next level."
Steven De Ploey, Jaguar Global Brand Director
Summary
The first Jaguars to wear the new R-Sport badge, the XF R-Sport Saloon
and Sportbrake represent a compelling combination of elegance and
real-world efficiency, helping to reduce the tax burdens on drivers
and fleet managers alike while still retaining the luxury and
refinement already associated with the XF range. The 2.2-litre
four-cylinder engine is offered in combination with Jaguar's
Intelligent Stop-Start system and an eight-speed gearbox, enabling the
XF R-Sport to deliver the performance and driver appeal expected of a
Jaguar along with reduced emissions and greatly improved fuel
consumption. A range of exterior and interior enhancements lend the
car an assertive appearance on the road and a sporty, cosseting feel
within the cabin.
Turbo diesel engine
Jaguar's four-cylinder, 2.2-litre diesel 163PS engine, which works in
combination with an eight-speed automatic transmission, has new larger
Exhaust Gas Recirculation valves and a revised cooling assembly which
combine to reduce emissions figures by a further 6g/km of CO2 over the
2013 Jaguar XF. The R-Sport is capable of achieving 57.7mpg with a CO2
figure of just 129g/km. An appealing proposition to company car
drivers and fleet managers, the XF R-Sport represents all the benefits
of driving a Jaguar along with greater fuel economy and reduced
emissions.
TSS/Stop-Start system
The XF R-Sport's low emissions figures are helped further by Jaguar's
Stop-Start system, which uses a Twin Solenoid Starter (TSS) to shut
down the engine when the car comes to a halt and restarting it in less
time than it takes for the driver's foot to move from the brake to the
accelerator. The system also offers 'change of mind' functionality,
enabling the engine to quickly restart even during its rundown phase
to allow the driver to, for example, exploit a gap in traffic at a
junction. An illuminated 'ECO' symbol appears on the Instrument Panel
when the engine has been stopped by the system. Stop-Start can be
turned off manually, but it will automatically be turned on again for
the vehicle's next journey with every ignition cycle. The system
operates in all modes apart from Reverse.
The XF R-Sport has a secondary battery fitted specifically for engine
re-starting, meaning that all the normal car systems - such as the
entertainment system, the ventilation and lights - continue to receive
power from the standard car battery and are unaffected by the
re-start. In addition, a complex control system ensures that the
Stop/Start operation only occurs when the car does not require the
engine for other functions.
Design
Launched in 2008, the XF introduced a coupe-like profile to the
sporting saloon template and received plaudits worldwide for its
seductive combination of dynamics, performance, quality, design and
luxury. A saloon with the soul of a Jaguar sports car, the XF has won
accolades and enthusiastic fans across the globe for its dynamic
abilities and dramatic looks.
The 2014 XF R-Sport model features a Sport front bumper, 'R' style
side sills and a unique rear spoiler which combine to give the car an
assertive, purposeful appearance on the road. 17" Ursa alloy
wheels, fitted with 17" low rolling resistance tyres to help
further reduce emissions, add to the XF R-Sport's sporting profile, as
do the optional Black styling packs which lend the car additional
on-road presence. The R-Sport interior features a new charcoal on
charcoal interior, including Suedecloth seats available with contrast
stitching in either Dove, Tan or Red. The interior is further
complimented with a selection of Dark Oak, Piano Black or Carbon Fibre
veneers to choose from. A Jet Morzine headlining comes as standard
while a Dove headliner is available as an option and also for when a
sunroof is specified. There is also the option of upgrading to a Jet
Suedecloth headlining. Bright stainless steel foot pedals and unique
badging for the side power vent and the steering wheel set off the XF
R-Sport's purposeful intent. Gloss black window surrounds are standard
for the XF R-Sport while an extended black pack is also available
which includes full gloss black grille surround, gloss black lower
bumper inserts, gloss black trunk lid finisher and gloss black roof
rails for Sportbrake.
