捷豹近日发布了2017款XF轿车，该车配备的全轮驱动系统与F-Type AWD运动轿跑车一样。不过，全驱系统只提供给搭载2.0升柴油引擎的车型，功率180马力。与引擎搭配的是八速自动变速器，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间7.9秒，最高时速136英里（约合219公里）。新车配备的全驱系统重231磅（约合105公斤），动力传输偏向后轮。当后轮失去牵引力时，系统会将扭矩传递至前轮，比后驱车具备更好的抓地力。另外，该车还提供捷豹可调动态模式，驾驶员可以根据需要在“动态配置”中选择所需设置。可设定转向、油门、变速器和悬挂设置。不过，这项功能仅限于V6车型。2017款XF动力系统没有变化，可提供各种汽油和柴油引擎，功率在163至380马力之间。

 

Jaguar XF gets quick update and AWD for 2016

Jaguar has introduced the 2017 XF, bringing all-wheel drive system for the executive sedan.

 

While the XF was officially revealed less than a year ago, the British manufacturer has already prepared a tech update, focused on the addition of an all-wheel drive system. In Fact, this is the same technology used in the F-Type AWD sports coupe.

 

Interestingly, the AWD system will be offered exclusively for the 2.0-liter diesel engine that delivers 180 horsepower. The setup also includes an eight-speed automatic transmission, which provides a sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 7.9 seconds. Top speed is rated at 136 mph.

 

Back to the all-wheel drive mechanism, it weighs 231 pounds and primarily sends power to the rear wheels. When they lose traction, the system sends torque to the front axle, providing improved levels of grip compared to the RWD model.

 

Also new for 2017MY is the Jaguar Configurable Dynamics system that now can be ordered for all the variants across the range, providing customizable steering, throttle, transmission, and suspension settings. So far, the JCD was limited to the V6 models.

 

No changes to the engine lineup have been made and the XF will still be available with a variety of diesel and petrol engines with power ranging from 163 hp to 380 hp.
