The 2013 Jaguar model range includes the XF sedan, the XK sports Coupe and Convertible, and the flagship XJ Sedan. All share in common the brand's performance-focused, premium-luxury engineering, design and, another Jaguar hallmark, uncommon value in their respective segments.
2013 Jaguar XF Sedan
The Jaguar XF embodies the brand's long sport sedan heritage, which began with the original Jaguar Mk. II sedan in 1959. The XF received a major design revision for 2012, which more closely aligned it with the new-generation XJ design. For 2013, the XF introduces two new forced-induction powertrains, a new ZF® eight-speed automatic transmission and the new Instinctive All-Wheel Drive™ system. The XF includes such Jaguar signature "surprise and delight" elements as the JaguarDrive Selector™ that rises from the center console and air vents that rotate to their open position when the start button is pressed.

2013 Jaguar XJ Sedan
The Jaguar flagship sedan, the XJ entered a new generation for the 2011 model year. Its coupe-inspired design exemplifies the new look of Jaguar, while advanced aluminum construction makes the XJ a highly spirited and agile driver's car.
A standard new 3-liter 340hp supercharged V6 engine and available Instinctive All-Wheel Drive™ debut for 2013, while the 5-liter V8 continues in naturally aspirated 385hp and supercharged 470hp and 510hp forms. All XJ engines come teamed to a new XF eight-speed automatic transmission for 2013.
The XJ model line for 2013 includes standard and long-wheelbase (XJL) versions, the latter offering 44.1-inches of rear seat legroom, 5.2-inches more than in the standard-wheelbase model. The XJ interior is the most luxurious ever offered in a Jaguar, blending in-demand infotainment technology with a wide choice of leather and wood finishes. The long-wheelbase XJL models offer option packages that heighten luxury for the rear cabin and facilitate mobile office capability.
A very limited-production (30 units for the U.S. for 2013) XJL Ultimate model combines the performance of the 510hp XJ Supersport drivetrain with a two-seat rear cabin outfitted like a bespoke luxury private jet.

2013 Jaguar XK Coupe and Convertible
The first car created under the leadership of Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum, the XK Coupe and Convertible models typify the Jaguar grand touring performance persona in an ultra-modern sporting car with advanced aluminum construction.
Having received major design and luxury revisions for model-year 2012, the Jaguar XK expands its offerings for 2013. The XK line now starts at $79,000 (MSRP) with a new Touring model in Coupe and Convertible versions, and tops out with the limited-production, 186 mph4 XKR-S. Just 100 XKR-S Coupes and 100 XKR-S Convertibles will be offered in the U.S. for the 2013 model year.
The Jaguar XK models blend the brand's performance-tuned driving character with superb luxury akin to grand touring cars that cost much more. As an example, all models come standard with the Active Dynamics variable suspension damping along with standard 19-or 20-inch wheels. A choice among 16 paint colors, 10 alloy wheel designs and seven convertible top colors illustrates the range of personal expression the Jaguar XK line offers.
New for 2013:
• The Jaguar 2+2 grand Touring Coupe and Convertible, with aluminum construction and 5-liter V8 engines ranging from 385hp to 550hp
• New XK Touring trim level offered
• New Portfolio Pack for XK and XKR models add special features and finishes
• Limited-production XKR-S returns with 100 Coupes and 100 Convertibles available for the U.S. market for 2013
• New standard 20-inch wheels on XK Coupe and Convertible
• Dynamic Pack now offered on both XKR Coupe and Convertible, offers XKR-S suspension tuning
New Jaguar Powertrains for 2013
Two new Jaguar powertrains for 2013 combine a broad powerband with high efficiency, along with the refined performance expected from a Jaguar.
The new DOHC 3-liter supercharged V6 engine added to the XF and XJ lines is based on the same architecture and technology as the brand's supercharged 5-liter V8. The new supercharged 3-liter engine provides performance comparable to the naturally aspirated 5-liter V8 it replaces in the XF line, including zero to 60 mph acceleration in just 5.7 seconds4, but with better fuel efficiency (EPA-estimated 28 mpg highway for RWD model2 ). In addition, the new supercharged V6 has a 16,000-mile or 12-month service interval.
The new DOHC 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine added to the XF line harnesses performance-enhancing technologies including direct fuel injection, low-inertia turbocharging and variable valve timing control on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. The 2-liter engine delivers 240hp and sustains a 251 lb.-ft. torque peak from 2,000-4,000 rpm. Teamed with the new eight-speed automatic transmission, the engine gives the 2013 XF spirited performance with an EPA-estimated 29 mpg2 in highway driving.
New Instinctive All-Wheel Drive™ System3
The new Jaguar Instinctive All-Wheel Drive™ system is exclusively available with the new supercharged 3-liter V6 engine in the 2013 XF and XJ models. The system's active power transfer control technology adds the benefit of enhanced all-season traction while retaining the sporty agility and steering feel of the rear-wheel drive models.
In dry-road conditions, the electronically controlled wet multi-plate clutch sends a small amount of "pre-load" torque to the front wheels as the vehicle starts off, and then seamlessly sends most torque to the rear wheels once underway. Instinctive All-Wheel Drive™ can transfer up to 50 percent of available torque to the front wheels, either in response to wheel slip or to pre-empt the possibility of rear-wheel slip. In Winter mode, the system sends more "pre-load" torque to the front wheels before switching to a 30:70 torque share between front and rear to maximize traction on slippery surfaces.
