The Jaguar XE and all-new Jaguar XF have been awarded the
maximum five-star rating in Euro NCAP’s 2015 safety tests. XE and XF scored
highly in every category – Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Pedestrian and
Safety Assist – and are among the most highly rated models in their respective
segments.
“The XE and XF were engineered without compromise: we placed
just as much focus on safety as we did on dynamics, performance, refinement and
efficiency, and our stringent in-house standards far exceed the requirements of
legislative and consumer tests,” said Kevin Stride, Vehicle Line Director for
Jaguar XE, XF and F-PACE.
The XE and XF are developed from Jaguar’s Lightweight
Aluminium Architecture: the inherently light body structures are also stiff and
strong, delivering exceptional occupant protection. Both models are further
enhanced by driver and passenger airbags, side airbags and curtain airbags. In
the event of an impact with pedestrians, deployable bonnets help to mitigate
serious injuries.
The XE and XF offer a full suite of active safety
technologies and advanced driver assistance systems including Dynamic Stability
Control, Traction Control, Emergency Brake Assist, Lane Departure Warning,
Blind Spot Monitoring, Closing Vehicle Sensing, Reverse Traffic Detection, and
Adaptive Cruise Control.
Additional safety features offered in the XF – which will be
launched in South Africa early next year– include Lane Keep Assist, Driver
Condition Monitor and Adaptive Speed Limiter.
