The Coupe R is equipped with Jaguar's powerful 5-liter V8 supercharged engine with a maximum torque 680 Nm, enabling it to reach a top speed of 300 km/h. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds.

The XF Sportbrake for the Chinese market, which has a large interior space sufficient for five passengers, is equipped with a 2.0-liter i4 gasoline engine, an eight-speed transmission and an intelligent stop/start system.

In addition to a huge luggage compartment on the back, it also has useful under-floor stowage space and side pockets, offering even more storage space for passengers.

In addition to the two debuts, the Jaguar brand will also celebrate its 10th anniversary in China with its brand ambassador David Beckham attending a gala on April 19, the eve of the Beijing Auto Show.

Among the Land Rover debuts, the most anticipated is the global premiere of the Discovery Vision concept car, which is described by the automaker as an ultimate leisure SUV that uses advanced, customer-focused technologies.
