Jaguar Cars today announces a new sports saloon, the Jaguar XF, will make its public debut next spring (southern hemisphere). Positioned in the luxury mid-size segment, the new Jaguar XF will replace the S-TYPE saloon in the Jaguar model line-up.

Designed and developed at Jaguar's Product Development Centre at Whitley in Coventry, UK, the new Jaguar XF will be built at Jaguar's Advanced Manufacturing Centre at Castle Bromwich in Birmingham, UK.

"The Jaguar XF is a new sports saloon that will challenge people to think again about Jaguar as daring and different," commented Bibiana Boerio, managing director of Jaguar Cars. "Our new XK sports car has been very well-received and is enjoying great success. We are now moving on to the next stage of Jaguar's exciting new design era - and if you like the new XK, just wait until you see the new Jaguar XF!"

Customer deliveries of the new Jaguar XF will commence globally in spring (n/h) 2008, and in Australia later that year.
