We are now just 10 days away from this year’s edition of the paultan.org Premium Auto Car Expo (PACE), which will once again take place at the Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC) on March 19 and 20. This is where you’ll find the best deals in town on new and pre-owned premium vehicles.
If you are taken with the idea of British motoring, you’ll be glad to find that Jaguar will be present in the mix of premium marques at PACE 2022. With a host of models available on the Malaysian market, drivers looking at Jaguar for a sports sedan have two models to chose from – the XE and the XF.
The Jaguar XE landed in Malaysia as a P300, which means that the sedan is equipped with a 2.0 litre Ingenium turbocharged inline-four cylnder petrol engine rated to produce 300 PS at 5,500 rpm and 400 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm. Paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, the XE does 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.
Taking the visual sportiness up a notch is the R-Dynamic trim variant, which brings an even sportier design to the front bumper with more prominently sculpted inlets, with an implied U-shaped “wing” spanning its width. At the rear, this is complemented by dark mesh on the rear valance, while owners will get to choose from a range of alloy wheel designs.
Inside, the XE cabin offers the driver a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, infotainment is comprised of wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s wireless device charging, too, and personalisation of settings is available courtesy of Smart Settings, which uses AI to learn its individual drivers’ preferences and adjust to the preferred seat, mirror, audio and climate settings accordingly.
On the next step up the Jaguar sedan ladder is the XF, where you’ll get more of the Jaguar-flavoured luxury in a more spacious package. The XF also gets the 2.0 litre Ingenium turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 300 PS and 400 Nm of torque sent through an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the larger sedan gets the added reassurance of all-wheel-drive.
Included in the XF is a host of active safety features, including lane keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, driver condition monitor as well as the 3D surround camera. The Driver Assist Pack in the XF adds a rear collision monitor and adaptive cruise control, along with blind spot assist and the rear traffic monitor as well as the clear exit monitor.
Like all cars offered at PACE 2022, purchases of the Jaguar XE and XF bring savings in terms of the sales and service tax (SST) exemption, which will run until June 30 this year.
