Some of the most famous historic shapes that may have fallen by the wayside are slowly making their way back into car culture – and this sportbrake from Jaguar using the XF platform is the fruit of this trend. Whilst the Sportbrake’s overall length is 5mm greater, weight has also risen by almost 70kg. That’s […]
The new apprentice programme, which is seeking Advanced and Higher Apprentices, launches on Monday February 6th 2012 – coincident with National Apprenticeship week. This year, Jaguar Land Rover is seeking 133 apprentices to join the company which has a portfolio of hugely successful (and attractive) models in the range. Commenting on the 2012 Apprentice programme, […]
The Jaguar XJ 3.0 litre Diesel has received a Green Apple Environment Award after being named Gold Winner for Luxury Green Vehicles. The award was voted for by members of the Midlands Group of Motoring Writers and presented by its Chairman, Ian Donaldson. The XJ was launched in 2010 and has since become Jaguar’s award […]
Jaguar’s latest offering – the updated XFR – is put to the test here by Autocar. The lovely metallic blue is a great finish but I think I’d take mine in gunmetal grey. Remember the original review of this car? It scored a perfect 5/5. Can this updated model do the same?
The above is a supercharged Jaguar XKR coupe. A new version is going on display at the Geneva Motor Show, and it’ll certainly be a car that’ll get the petrol heads talking. This XKR delivers a significantly raised maximum speed – up to 174mph from 155mph – and bold styling changes that create an evocative […]
Given the rather shaky position Jaguar were in not too long ago, it’s a great resurgence that has been seen by the British marque. Few cars exemplify this more than the brilliant Jaguar XF.

The police are getting in on the act of the new Jaguar XF – and who can blame them! The XF is currently being evaluated as a pursuit vehicle and produces 271bhp from a 3.0litre diesel, so it should be able to keep up with just about anything else on the road. There’s also the […]
Jaguar Land Rover is set to be the next winner in the government’s continuing efforts to hand out taxpayer money – though this time it is in the form of a grant. Land Rover has stated that the money will go toward producing a new car that will be the most efficient, smallest and lightest […]
The new, direct-injection 5.0 Litre V8 Supercharged engine dramatically strengthens the XF´s performance story, producing a remarkable 510PS – enough to launch the new XFR from zero to 60mph in just 4.7 seconds. And with its semi-active exhaust the new XFR produces the kind of pulse-racing growl to match its stellar performance. Its advanced direct […]
It is of course now confirmed that the Indian conglomerate Tata is the proud owner of two traditionally British marques, Land Rover and Jaguar. Apparently this all came to conclusion over months of painstaking negotiations, along with several new cars from the various marques such as Tata’s Nano (shown, the ultra small, ultra cheap new […]
