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.

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

2013 Jaguar XK Coupe and Convertible
The first car created under the leadership of Jaguar Design
Director Ian Callum, the XK Coupe and onvertible 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 $99,975 (MSRP) with a new Touring model in
Coupe and Convertible versions, and tops out with the
limited‑production, 300 km/h5 XKR‑S. Just 12 XKR‑S Coupes and 8
XKR‑S Convertibles will be offered in Canada 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‑litre V8 engines ranging from 385hp to
550hp
• New XK Touring trim level offered
• Limited‑production XKR‑S returns with 12 Coupes and 8
Convertibles available for the Canadian 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‑litre supercharged V6 engine added to the XF
and XJ lines is based on the same architecture and technology as
the brand's supercharged 5‑litre V8. The new supercharged 3‑litre
engine provides performance comparable to the naturally aspirated
5‑litre V8 it replaces in the XF line, including zero to 100km/h
acceleration in just 6.4 seconds5, but with better fuel
efficiency.
The new DOHC 2‑litre 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‑litre 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.
New Instinctive All‑Wheel Drive™ System
The new Jaguar Instinctive All‑Wheel Drive™ system is
exclusively available with the new supercharged 3‑litre 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.
