Peoria (IL) - “Great Jaguars turn heads in the street. They make people stop and pay attention. They evoke instant desire. That’s what the new Jaguar XF does and that’s what the next generation of Jaguars will do.” - Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar Cars.

On Tuesday, February 19th, Jaguar of Peoria will unveil the new 2009 Jaguar XF. The unveiling will take place at 6:15 PM at Jaguar-Land Rover Peoria at the corner of Allen Road and Willow Knolls Road in Peoria. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served from 6-8 PM.

The new Jaguar XF is being billed as the fusion of sports car and luxury sedan. The XF comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a choice of 300 horsepower V-8 or 420 horsepower Supercharged V-8. “Jaguar’s got its nerve back.” - CarandDriver.com “It’s fast, smooth, incredibly quiet and drives like a 4-door XK. It does what a luxury sports sedan should.” - roadandtrack.com

The Jaguar XF has been named Car of the Year 2008 and Best Executive Car 2008 by WhatCar.com. WhatCar.com stated higher resale value over German and Japanese luxury cars and the fact that it makes you feel special every time you get in as two of the reasons it won.  “We’re excited to have the XF enter our Jaguar line-up. It is clear the XF is Jaguar’s step toward the younger generation executives,” said Jim Swigart, Centre Manager, Jaguar-Land Rover Peoria.  Join us this Tuesday, February 19th at Jaguar-Land Rover Peoria for the 6:15 PM unveiling.
