New pricing, facelifts repower Jaguar

01.01.70

Last year was a dense 12 months for Jaguar New Zealand. The comfort marque sold a mere 45 vehicles, and elementary reason was because Jaguar customers knew a facelifted XF sedan was on the way - and the XF is by far the biggest- selling mould here.

But 2012 looks set to be a far better year. Last month, 19 Jaguars were sold, and the establishment is now confident it'll sell more cars in the first three months of this year than it did in the whole of last year.

Why? One self-explanatory reason is because the facelifted XF has arrived, and another is because the latitude now includes a 2.2-litre turbodiesel rendition that retails for $90,000.

That's a huge price. So, too, is the new $95,000 asking valuation for last year's entry mode, a 3.0-litre V6 facsimile that used to cost $116,990.

In fact, the without a scratch Jaguar fleet has had its retail prices move catnap in what has to be regarded as a massive pricing get - particularly considering many of the models have also had thousands of dollars merit of new specification added.
