CONFIDENCE
To fully experience the XF’s powerful performance,
the driver is constantly assisted by the expertise of
the car itself. The XF’s revolutionary Adaptive Dynamics
System continuously monitors the suspension, varying
the damping to suit the conditions, whether cornering,
navigating potholes or accelerating on the motorway.
The system calculates the appropriate suspension
response 500 times every second. Adjusting the dampers
to help keep the car as flat, stable and secure as
possible allows confident handling without any loss of
ride comfort. On the XFR agility is further enhanced
by an Active Differential Control which analyses the
firmness of the road surface adjusting the differential
of each wheel to constantly optimise traction, helping
the vehicle to stick to the road on the tightest of bends
during performance driving.
To increase driver satisfaction and feedback from the
car, the XF’s Servotronic steering adjusts the level of
power assistance to the steering according to road
speed. The result is reduced assistance and firmer
steering as speed increases and more assistance at
low speeds for easy manoeuvring.
With a body architecture designed to be one of the
most rigid in its class, the XF provides outstanding road
feedback. Its adaptive systems support the driver as
the XF reaches more extreme situations, they assist but
never overwhelm.
