Recently, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will offer customers six electric SUVs for the next five years. One of them is the Defender with 518 hp.
The most powerful Defender, whose cabin is covered with dark leather and Alcantara, comes in combination with a longer and shorter body. The new Defender features Xenon blue brake calipers, quad exhaust pipes and 22-inch wheels.
For better power control, the Defender is equipped with wider anti-roll bars as well as a newly developed electronically active rear differential.
Its powerful 5.0-liter V8 engine with 518 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque allows the Defender to reach 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 149 mph. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
JLR offers an upgrade to the Carpathian Edition. These include Carpathian Gray body and skid pans, tailgate, hood and Narvik Black covers on the roof.
The smaller XS model comes with a mild-hybrid 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine. The XS features 20-inch wheels in Satin Gray. Inside are Ebony Grained leather and Robust Woven Textile trim as well as adjustable, heated and cooled front seats.
On the 60th anniversary of the E-Type sports car, Jaguar has prepared a special version of this model called the F-Type Heritage 60 Edition.
The exterior is adorned with glossy black and chrome details “inspired by heritage”, 20-inch black alloy wheels and black brake calipers.
The interior has also been changed, upholstered in Caraway and Ebony Windsor leather in two tones. There are E-Type 60th logos on the headrests. There’s also an aluminium console finisher inspired by the E-Type’s rear -view mirror casing. There are also special carpet mats, commissioning plaque and commemorative badging.
Each car of the special model will be made at Jaguar Land Rover’s Castle Bromwich plant, and the finishing is left to XV Bespoke personalization experts doing their job in Warwickshire, and coupes and convertible versions will be on offer.
The F-Type Heritage 60 Edition is based on the F-Type R model which is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engine. This engine develops 567 hp and power is transmitted to all four wheels. The Type R accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, with top speed electronically limited to 186 mph. A prominent change to the exterior is the Sherwood green color used in the original color palette of the first E-Type model. This color has not been on offer since the 1960s.
Only 60 examples will be offered for sale globally, excluding China. Speaking of price, the 2021 F-type R ranges from $ 104,350 for the coupe and $ 107,050 for the convertible.
Jaguar’s Classic operation will build six matched pairs of restored 3.8-litre E-Types. They’re based on the original prototype cars – with nameplates 77RW and 9600HP.
Get behind the wheel of an Jaguar XE and you feel like you’re sitting in a sports car. You’ll note the soft grain leather steering wheel and form-hugging 14-way adjustable front seats. You’ll appreciate the impeccable attention to detail, and how everything is so pleasingly uncluttered and considerately functional.
A refreshed cockpit-style interior offers outstanding levels of comfort, and the raised center console adds to its sportiness. So, when you settle into that plush leather seat, you connect with the car straight away. Just reach for the pulsing start button – a more engaging driving experience awaits.
JaguarDrive Control™ allows you to select from Comfort, Eco, Dynamic, and Rain/Ice/Snow Modes. Each mode has its own tailor-made program that alters different parameters, such as engine and transmission response, steering feel, parasitic load management or traction and stability control. The optional Adaptive Dynamics system makes for vastly improved ride comfort and dynamic body control using continuously variable damping technology. The system monitors multiple sensors that analyze vertical wheel positions, vehicle acceleration, steering inputs, as well as throttle and brake pedal activity to adjust the suspension damping settings. This provides a near-perfect balance of comfort, refinement and agility.
XE is the culmination of Jaguar’s prowess at designing and building sports cars. A lightweight aluminum chassis and double wishbone front suspension enable the highest levels of handling and road holding. Also, there’s intelligent Torque Vectoring by Braking technology. On tight turns, it applies the brake to the inside wheel and directs more rotating force from the engine to the wheel with the most grip.
The wellbeing of you and your passengers is of the utmost importance to us. That’s why XE comes equipped with the latest technologies. Engine drag torque control helps prevent wheel slip in adverse weather conditions by providing a gentle push to the wheels where needed.
The Jaguar XE offers two types of engines: – P250 GAS: The Ingenium 2.0 liter 4-cylinder 247HP Turbocharged Gas engine produces 269lb-ft of torque and delivers outstanding fuel economy and drivability. For excellent acceleration and effortless overtaking, maximum torque is available between 1,300-4,500 rpm. The twin-scroll turbocharger is fed by an integrated exhaust manifold which increases the transfer of energy to the turbine – significantly reducing turbo lag and improving engine response.
– P300 GAS: The high-performance Ingenium 2.0 liter 4-cylinder 296HP Turbocharged Gas engine features upgrades to the boosting system. Delivering a peak torque of 295lb-ft between 1,500-4,500 rpm. The uprated turbocharger features a high-flow compressor wheel, delivering 26 percent more air, enabling a peak power output of 296HP. The twin-scroll turbocharger features ceramic ball bearings which reduce friction and improve transient response.
