Jaguar UK has launched a high performance Police pursuit vehicle
based on its award-winning Diesel S model. The first ever
Police-spec XF is currently being evaluated by Police forces across
country.
Geoff Cousins, UK Managing Director for Jaguar Cars, said:
"Police forces are looking for vehicles represent value for money,
have good environmental credentials and deliver the power and
performance required of a pursuit vehicle."
The Jaguar XF beats other contenders in this market with a fuel
economy figure of 42mpg( 6.8l/ class-leading residual values and an
excellent CO2 rating of 179 g/km.
"The Police Officers driving pursuit vehicles demand a very high
level of performance and handling,well as safety and comfort."
The Police specification Jaguar features the 202kW 3.0-litre
Diesel S engine with its unique, parallel sequential turbocharger
system. Delivering high torque throughout the entire rev range,
improved throttle response and low CO2 emissions, the
twin-turbochargers work sequentially to deliver unrivalled response
and best-in-class torque that means the XF packs a huge punch at
all engine speeds.
"We hope that with this amount of torque on tap - and a 0-60mph
time of 5.9 seconds ( 0-100kph seconds) , we will meet and exceed
the exacting standards of any Police Officer driving this car."
The XF has picked up more than 20 international awards since
launch, most recently 'Britain's in the Auto Express Driver Power
survey for 2009, 'Best Executive Car' at the What Diesel Magazine
awards 2009 and the award for 'Best Executive Car' at the 2009
Fleet World Honours.
The XF 3.0L Diesel will go on sale in Australia in August.
