Sydney Australia - ANCAP has issued a 5 star safety rating to the all-new Jaguar XF due to a suite of advanced safety features being fitted as standard equipment. The 5 star rating covers all variants.

Chief Executive Officer of ANCAP, James Goodwin said" The XF has a high standard of safety features buyers would expect in this sort of vehicle including AEB City and Interurban. It scored the highest pedestrian rating of "good" and is fitted with an active bonnet'

The XF has already received the maximum five stars rating from Euro NCAP against 2015's highly demanding test protocols and was amongst the most highly rated models in the segment.

"The XF was engineered without compromise: we placed just as much focus on safety as we did on dynamics, performance, refinement and efficiency, and our stringent in-house standards far exceed the requirements of legislative and consumer tests.

"Everything from the aluminium alloys we developed for the body structures to the state-of-the-art stereo camera at the heart of the Autonomous Emergency Braking system has been painstakingly optimised to deliver world-class levels of safety." Kevin Stride, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar XE, XF, F-PACE

Jaguar has developed a suite of technologies to make driving safer, more relaxing and more enjoyable. From systems that improve low-speed traction in adverse conditions to smart braking systems which use stereo cameras to scan the road ahead – the XF is the intelligent choice in the large car segment.

The new XF is one of the first vehicles in the segment to feature a stereo camera. This state-of-the-art sensor provides a 3D view of the road ahead and is at the heart of the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system.

All models of Jaguar XF  offer a full suite of active safety technologies and advanced driver assistance systems* including Dynamic Stability Control, Traction Control, Emergency Brake Assist,  Blind Spot Monitoring, Closing Vehicle Sensing and Reverse Traffic Detection.
