In general, the Chinese folks love things that stand out in the crowd, which equates to large luxurious SUV’s and long wheel base sedans. To satiate the need of this important market, Jaguar is readying the Jaguar XF L for the Chinese market, speculated to debut in April at the Shanghai Motor Show.

The Jaguar XF L makes a great business sense since the affluent class loves to be chauffeured in luxury and one quick look at the spy shots clearly states the elongated wheelbase and large rear doors. The camouflaged exterior doesn’t leave much to the imagination since the design is very similar to the standard Jaguar XF with the only difference being the exhaust tips, which do not look circular as seen on the one available internationally.
The interior will remain largely unchanged on the front row and the dashboard. The interiors are made of wood trim, brushed aluminum and leather. The features include dual-zone air-conditioning, GPS navigation, 11-speaker audio system, touchscreen interface, reversing camera, leather upholstery and Bluetooth connectivity.

The spy pictures do not show the rear passenger seats and unfortunately, that is the place most changes are expected to happen. Taking benefit of the extra space, it will be interesting to see what Jaguar adds to the luxuries which would not make the existing owners of the more expensive Jaguar XJ seethe.
We do not expect any changes to the powertrains wth options of 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre petrol or diesel engines. The car is currently speculated to be for the Chinese market exclusively but the management might just be tempted to try it out in other markets if it sees success in the world’s biggest automotive market.
