JAGUAR F-PACE DIESEL REVIEW

  By ,

  Jaguar F-Pace is a stylish SUV that’s traditionally British in its styling, both exterior and interior. Like almost all in its class it’s aimed at being a people mover rather than an off-road vehicle. It is offered with a choice of two or all-wheel drive. Buyers tend to opt for the AWD, feeling that it gives them the feeling of travelling in a serious vehicle that they may take onto dirt roads of varying degrees of ruggedness. In any case, those who do want to get serious in have… Read more

JAGUAR XJ 2010 – 2018

  By ,
2013 Jaguar XJR

The all-new 2010 Jaguar XJ has sleek, almost futuristic, lines. Externally, the ‘Jaguar grille’ was the only major carryover from the past. Though the body has ultra-modern styling, the interior has could be optioned with traditional leather-and-wood options – the best of both worlds that please the traditionalists who loved the original XJ models. There’s a nice wrap-around effect that carries the dash area neatly into the doors. So good is the shape of the 2010 Jaguar XJ that it’s largely unchanged nine years later. There were minor facelifts in… Read more

  By ,

CAT BRINGS THE SOFT TOUCH TO A HARD HEART

  By ,

A cat with nine lives might be taking things too far, but one feline of the automotive variety has at least two. The Jaguar XE 300 Sport, like the ultimate furry friend, will pad around all day as quiet as a mouse, but switch to Sport mode and the claws come out, together with a strident engine soundtrack to match. The XE range is the British answer to the Germans’ – Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, not forgetting the Italians’ Alfa Romeo Giulia and assorted others from the… Read more
