Jaguar has created a short film charting the progress of the XF 2.2 as it crossed the 11 states, 2,884‑miles and three time zones, achieving an average economy figure of 62.9 mpg.
In the process it became the most efficient Jaguar ever created.
The journey attracted hundreds of comments and followers on Twitter and Facebook as Senior Press Officer, Faye Goldstraw, provided live updates on the progress of the trip from the support vehicle following the XF.
The entirely standard, UK‑registered, right‑hand drive XF was shipped to North America to verify the true efficiency of the XF as it took on the epic journey from coast to coast. The car performed faultlessly, delivering its peak economy of 67 mpg on the penultimate leg of the journey ‑ a trip that saw the XF take on snow, rain and sun, 50 mph headwinds and elevation changes of over 7,000 feet.
