Jaguars are delightfully raucous offerings in the luxury
sedan, coupe, and convertible space. The cars make great noise and can billow
terrific clouds of smoke from the rear tires. But now, models like the sporty
F-Type R come fitted with all-wheel drive. Another Jaguar is getting
the four-wheel traction treatment too. The latest Jaguar XFwill be available
with all-wheel drive.
The good news here is that, like we said in the beginning,
Jaguars are delightfully raucous. And though the cars are fitted with all-wheel
drive, the system used is biased towards sending power out back. You might not
be delivering masterful brake stands, but you can get funky fresh with your
favorite canyon road.
Jaguar is employing the all-wheel-drive setup on XF sedans
packing the 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine. It will become available first in its
native England, and then filter out to other markets. This includes the United
States, where an all-wheel-drive XF is sure to be a hit in the cold climes of
Boston, New York, and Chicago. It's a good looking car, and now it will be more
accessible to folks tasked with dealing with inclement weather. And the move
isn't entirely a surprise considering the last XF also offered all-wheel drive.
If we had to choose, though, we'd take our XF with 100
percent rear-wheel bias all of the time, thanks. Now if we could just order the
F-Type R that way as well.
