WINTER 2015
THE NEW XE.
We’re counting the days to spring – and not just for warmer weather. The new Jaguar XE arrives in the showroom in a few months time and interest is already running at fever pitch. Not only does it head straight to the top of its class for fuel-efficiency and performance, it’s also stunning. A true Jaguar, in other words. If you can’t wait to see it in the metal, we have a unique preview experience for you in our showroom. The Jaguar Durovis Dive System combines the virtual world with the real world, where you can walk around a full size XE using special goggles. Also in this issue, you can read about the Royal visitors to Jaguar’s new eco-friendly engine plant and the grand final of the hugely popular Ride like a Pro competition. And if you’d like to step back in time, you can book yourself a drive in a classic Jaguar with the Heritage Driving Experience. In short, 2015 is going to be a great year. And there’s never been a better time to be a Jaguar driver. Enjoy the issue!

All Surface Progress Control (ASPC): A unique feature for rear-drive sports saloons, ASPC delivers exceptional traction on snow and ice and automatically gains traction without the driver using the pedals. Head-up display: Laser projection technology enables the XE’s optional head-up display to generate sharp, high-contrast colour graphics (such as vehicle speed and navigation) even in bright sunlight. Safety systems: A stereo camera behind the front windscreen gives the XE a 3D view of the road ahead: it’s used for the autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning systems. High performance: The XE range offers six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmissions – so you’re always in the right gear for acceleration and economy. The performance flagship supercharged 3.0 litre V6 model accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. *Automatic transmission/certain models only.
THINKING AHEAD: XE SERVICE PLANS. The new Jaguar XE arrives this spring – but we’ve already thought of ways to make ownership even more of a pleasure.
5-YEAR SERVICE PLANS FROM £475. Service plans make a lot of sense: one upfront payment covers all your servicing costs for the next five years. So if you usually drive around 10,000 miles a year, you can cover all your XE service costs for five years or 50,000 miles for just £475 including VAT. Alternatively, higher mileage drivers will prefer the five year or 75,000 mile service plan for just £659 including VAT. Whichever plan is right for you, you’ll also enjoy MOT protection. The service plan covers you for repairs or replacements required to pass the vehicle’s 3rd, 4th and 5th year MOT tests, up to the value of £750.
JAGUAR INSURANCE. If you’re ordering a new XE, ask about Jaguar Insurance. All Jaguars come with the offer of 7 days Complimentary Insurance and you could be pleasantly surprised at how much you’d save on this superior cover. Only with Jaguar Insurance can you be sure that your vehicle’s safety rating is unaffected with all repairs carried out by Jaguar Trained Technicians using Genuine Parts at approved body shops.
THE INDIVIDUAL TOUCH. The new XE Accessory Lifestyle Collections add a touch of individuality and style. Choose from Sporting, Touring, Style and Outdoor ranges. Every accessory is designed for the XE and made to Jaguar’s engineering standards.
Wear and tear items are not included within the plans. Service intervals are 21,000 miles or 24 months whichever is sooner, and therefore the plans will last either 5 years/50,000 miles or 5 years/75,000 miles. Plans available to purchase for up to 90 days after vehicle registration (providing first service has not been completed). Plans available on diesel engines only. MOT protection is subject to terms and conditions please contact us for full details.

SPEED AND SKILL. The 32 finalists at Blyton Park, Lincolnshire faced two challenges. The Sports Director autotest replicated the challenges faced by Team Sky’s support crews as they follow the riders. Driving Jaguar XF Sportbrakes, competitors tackled a coned course that rewarded control and slick wheel work.
Back on two wheels, the 10k time trial was a test of fitness, power and measured aggression. The best riders paced their efforts so they arrived exhausted at the finish – and not before. To unwind, finalists rode shotgun with Jaguar’s pro drivers for some hot laps in the supercharged 5.0 litre Jaguar XJR. And got behind the wheel of the new F-TYPE for some rapid laps of their own.
TWO DESERVING WINNERS. The day’s winners were Paul Morris, who qualified via the Harwoods Group ride out; and Gemma Waterjohns, the finalist from Taunton Jaguar. They cycled with Team Sky at their winter training camp in Majorca, in January 2015.
GETTING TO GRIPS WITH THE RECORD. New all-wheel drive F-TYPE helps land speed record team in vital test.
When you’re aiming to set a new land speed record of 1,000+ mph, clear communications are vital. And on 6th November 2014, the new all-wheel drive Jaguar F-TYPE helped the Bloodhound SSC team test its radio systems in a high-speed simulation. The test, held on the Hakskeen Pan desert in South Africa where the full land speed record attempt will take place, featured the new F-TYPE and a fighter jet approaching each other at full speed. At the wheel of the F-TYPE was former world land speed record holder Richard Noble.
Reaching a maximum speed of 186 mph on ‘off-road’ terrain, he clearly appreciated the poise, balance and grip of the AWD F-TYPE. Launched at the LA Motor Show in December 2014, the AWD is available in F-TYPE Coupé or Convertible form, with powertrains that include 380PS supercharged V6 engines as well as the 550PS supercharged V8 chosen for the Bloodhound SSC test. Together with the F-TYPE R Convertible, the new AWD models broaden the F-TYPE range to 14 models.
The test marks the start of a major technical partnership between Jaguar and The Bloodhound Project, and the newly-announced AWD F-TYPE proved ideal for the task. With closing speeds of close to 700 mph, the communications link worked perfectly. It was another tick in the box for the Bloodhound SSC team, which aims to capture the record and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. See footage on the Jaguar YouTube channel
SWITCH TO WINTER MODE. There’s no such thing as bad weather – only bad preparation. So if you and your Jaguar have the right equipment, you can look forward to that ski trip or winter tour with confidence.
GRIP. WINTER TYRES. Winter tyres aren’t just for ice and snow. With their special low-temperature compounds and up to 1,500 tiny sipes to disperse rain, slush and ice, they offer better grip than standard tyres whenever the temperature drops below 7°C. In tests, they’ve cut braking distances in winter conditions by up to 59%.
