Jaguar XF Officially In Ukraine
2008-03-28Jaguar XF Style Party
Once guests of the launch entered the facilities, they found themselves in a sophisticated Jaguar-style environment. DJ Eva, who was attending the event as a happy owner of a Jaguar XJ and as the DJ, managed to create a relaxed ambience, encouraging all the guests to chat informally. Then upon the stage came the ballet that later gave place to a fashion show from Sezony Mody, a partner magazine. The show was over, and the public was eager to meet the star of the night – the new Jaguar XF. And suddenly, the lights went out, smoke covered the stage, the guests caught their breath – and four luxury cars drove upon the stage. The new cars received a great ovation, once they appeared in the hall.
Jaguar XF was introduced by the brand’s face in Ukraine Ms Vlada Lytovchenko and Jaguar Brand Director in Ukraine Mr Mark Parekh. After they pronounced their speeches, everyone got a chance to come closer to the new cars and touch the dream. Anyone could examine the cars and decide for themselves, whether XF really is the “New Face of Our Dream”, as the official car’s motto says. Pleased, even excited faces of the guests showed they agree with the motto.
While the guests were scrutinizing the cars, testing numerous innovative technologies in practice, the host of the night Yuriy Gorbunov identified several lucky guys who received elegant Jaguar-style prizes, courtesy of the travel agency Siome Nebo and the jewelry boutique Aksioma that were partners to the event.
What Is The New Jaguar XF Like?
The car was first shown to general public at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2007. As the embodiment of the Jaguar X-XF concept, the new car clearly stood out of the rest of ‘British cats’ which the public used to blame for being ‘over-classic’. However, even the severest critic could not find this ‘fault’ in XF. The fact that the XF symbolizes innovative technologies is apparent to the naked eye. Classicality is out of the question. However, it is not ruled out that we are witnessing the birth of the new classics. Literally, the XF opens up a totally new era not only in the history of Jaguar cars, but in the automotive industry. It has brought in a totally new concept of the ‘luxury sports sedan’, and some technologies used in the car are world-firsts.
Despite all the innovations, the new XF stands for exclusiveness, luxury, uncompromised comfort, safety and driving enjoyment. The XF is adding to this list a number of features that bring occupant’s experience to a totally new level. The car is virtually brought alive by a single touch. The Start button beats like a heart. Occupants get a steady feel of ‘living ambience’. Exclusive soft hide and fine wood finishes add to the feel of luxury. And we should not forget that the Jaguar XF offers the best from the sports XK. Its chassis and suspension have been specially tuned to fit the sedan. XF has become the most aerodynamic of all Jaguars – its drag coefficient is just 0.29. At the same time the car has the stiffest body and widest track in the class. The load compartment is worth mentioning, too, with 500 litres of useable space.
Although the official launch was just a few days ago, the quarter of the quota that the manufacturer set for the Ukrainian market in 2008 has already been sold! In total, this year’s quota makes up 120 cars. In Ukraine, prices for the XF start from 58 thousand euros, and a car in the richest configuration will cost the fans of the British brand around 105 thousand euros.
