MAHWAH, N.J. May 19, 2009 – The Jaguar XF is the most highly recommended vehicle in the Executive Luxury Car segment in the AutoPacific 2009 Owner Recommendation Survey research. These are very significant results – it takes strong confidence for an owner to “definitely recommend” a vehicle to a close friend or relative. Clearly, owners of the Jaguar XF are very pleased with their vehicle.
AutoPacific’s research objectively measures owner recommendations with newly purchased or leased passenger cars or light trucks, and reflects the opinions of consumers nationwide.
"Gaining this recognition for the Jaguar XF demonstrates the high standards, level of luxury, technology and performance our owners expect of a Jaguar," said Richard Beattie, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Sales, Jaguar North America. "A vote of confidence in our vehicles by our owners shows that the hard work of our internal team and retail body are delivering positive results in the marketplace."
“AutoPacific has conducted this industry research since 1997. While many owners can be happy with their new cars, it takes another level of confidence to recommend it” says AutoPacific president George Peterson.'
Under the hood of the Jaguar XF, there are two engine choices - a 4.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 and a 4.2-liter supercharged V8. The powerful engines combined with an interior that moves from traditional to contemporary themes with 'surprise and delight' features such as the JaguarDrive Selector, the rotating air vents upon ignition, and JaguarSense (motion detecting sensors that activate certain vehicle features) ensures that the XF delivers upon the Jaguar philosophy of creating beautiful, fast cars.
Owner recommendation intentions are based on findings from a just-completed comprehensive survey of more than 25,000 consumers who purchased or leased new cars or light trucks in the period from September to December 2008.
