The historical English automotive brand Jaguar lands at FuoriSalone in cooperation with designjunction, point of reference for the interior design world, in the occasion of the designjunction edit Milan exhibition, scheduled from April 15th to 19th at the Casa dell’Opera Nazionale Balilla (via Pietro Mascagni 6).
Thanks to the synergy with the London-based artist Tom Dixon, Jaguar will bring in the premises of the former Arti cinema its own expertise in metalworking, especially aluminum, material used by the British brand for building the modular architecture of the new Jaguar XE.
Moreover, Jaguar will bring for the first time in Italy the innovative sculpture Word Cloud: an aluminum structure that duplicates the contour of the new Jaguar XE through 95 words in seven different languages.
For Word Cloud’s design, Jaguar designers have cooperated with a number of creatives skilled in computational design, graphic arts, scenographic processing and metalworking, obtaining an original and unique sculpture.
The Word Cloud, first exhibited last September in the occasion of the London Design Festival, represents the essence of the new Jaguar XE, the most efficient Jaguar ever, characterized by a lightweight construction, streamlined styling, luxurious interior and an outstanding ride.
LA NUOVA JAGUAR XE THE NEW JAGUAR XE
The Jaguar XE redefines the concept of the sports saloon and will be the driver's car in its class thanks to Its lightweight construction, streamlined styling, luxurious interior and outstanding ride.
The rear-drive XE is the only vehicle in its class to use an aluminium-intensive monocoque. This extremely robust yet light structure, together with double wishbone front suspension and an Integral Link rear axle, is fundamental to the XE's innovative benchmark vehicle dynamics.
Jaguar's world-leading expertise in aluminium structure engineering enables exceptional fuel consumption and emissions figures: with the new Ingenium diesel engines, the XE can achieve 75mpg and 99g/km CO2 - the most efficient Jaguar ever.
Powered by the supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine from the acclaimed Jaguar F-TYPE, the XE S is capable of 0-60mph in just 5.1 seconds.
The aluminium-intensive Jaguar XE is the first model developed from Jaguar Land Rover's new modular vehicle architecture. The long 2,835mm wheelbase and low seating position enable perfect proportions and a streamlined profile.
The cabin offers outstanding levels of comfort and spaciousness. Exquisite materials and finishes combined with Jaguar craftsmanship make this a class-beating interior that's unlike anything else in the segment. Jaguar's new InControl Touch infotainment system takes centre stage: its innovative 8-inch touchscreen brings fast, intuitive access to all features and functions - and iOS and Android smartphone apps.
The XE has some of the most advanced driver assistance systems available. All Surface Progress Control (ASPC), developed through decades of Jaguar Land Rover experience in off-road traction systems, can electronically gain traction in seconds and is ideal for use on low-grip surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.
Laser projection technology enables the XE's head-up display (HUD) to generate sharp, high-contrast colour graphics (such as vehicle speed and navigation) from a module smaller and almost a third lighter than existing systems, retaining clarity even in direct sunlight.
A stereo camera is mounted behind the front windscreen to give the XE a 3D view of the road ahead: this highly accurate data is used for functions including autonomous emergency braking and a lane departure warning system.
The XE is the stiffest, most aerodynamic Jaguar saloon car ever built. It is also the first Jaguar to be equipped with electric power steering, tuned to provide exceptional responsiveness and feel but with lower energy consumption than hydraulic systems. The XE also boasts the lowest cost of ownership and most environmentally sustainable credentials of all Jaguar models.
