Jaguar has announced that it is updating its popular XF range later this year.

The manufacturer has unveiled plans to improve the car's driving dynamics and give it an updated exterior and interior look.

Jaguar said that its new cars will represent the "ultimate in sporting luxury", with motorists being given the option to add numerous packages to their vehicles including a choice of new colours, a performance interior, aerodynamic pack or a dynamics package.

Those with a keen interest in executive car hire may take note of news that the top-of-the-range 3.0-litre diesel is capable of zero to 62mph within 5.9 seconds and has a top speed of 155mph.

Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity, pointed out that they had taken on board lessons from the sporty XFR model to bring "more sophisticated, sporting driving dynamics to the new car".

He continued: "Fitted with the state-of-the-art Adaptive Dynamics system, the latest Diesel S provides driving enthusiasts with taut handling and superb body control, but without the noise and harshness often associated with 'sports' suspension packages."
