The XF will be available with a choice of six models and a range of four engines from the 2.7 litre V6 turbodiesel, to a range of petrol engines culminating in the supercharged 4.2-litre V8 petrol with 416hp. All models feature Jaguar’s proven six-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted ‘paddles’ for manual gear selection.
The new Jaguar XF will cost from £33,900 in the UK.
Though detailed specification of the engine have not been revealed as yet, we know that it features a 2.0-litre, 136 PS Duratorq TDCi common-rail diesel engine combined with a Durashift six-speed manual transmission.
The Kuga is not a concept and will be on sale here in the UK in summer of 2008.
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is going to introduce three concept cars at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show. Besides the Concept-cX which I have already blogged about, the two new cars are the i MiEV SPORT and the Concept-ZT.
The i MiEV SPORT is based on the i MiEV (Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle). This is a high power sporty yet environmentally friendly vehicle featuring zero-emissions electric engine.
The Concept-ZT (“Z” stands for the “ultimate”, plus “T” for tourer) has a newly developed fuel-efficient, 2.2-liter clean diesel engine is mated to the new Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission). Concept-ZT also features advanced active safety as well as passive safety technology, such as its pop-up hood.
