Test of "cat" Jaguar XF V6 Diesel S. vs. Infiniti M30d

When I say Jaguar, I can not help: I think history, sports and feline forms. When I say the Infiniti, I think of August 1st to horizontally placed, the American appetite for gadgets and a Japanese style without resonance. And when I say "large premium class, " I think of Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.


It therefore appears that the variables have the same equation without any connection. But I learned that, although various advantages, DS and Infiniti Jaguar XF V6 M30d deserve to be in the same ring. Even more, deserves the attention of those who want a premium sedan, diesel, demanding better "equipped".

Comparing the two models in design, I like deja vu - the sense that if I were watching a duel between a BMW and a Mercedes-Benz. That's because Jaguar XF looks fluid and sports, and Infiniti M has a most imposing look and gives the impression that it is more massive and more comfortable.

However, the truth is that these two very similar sized sedans have a length of about 5 meters and a wheelbase of 2.9 meters. But how they are packaged very differently. Jaguar XF would say that raises the most interest because it is the model that marked a historical shift in the philosophy of Jaguar, making the transition from traditional to a futuristic era.

I'd rather be considered a competitor XF coupe 4-door Mercedes-Benz CLS, because the silhouette and a strained lower the glass surface. Only the headlights do not seem too well integrated into the overall landscape - trying to remember the roots of stylish Jaguar saloon, but I think their design would have been more unified if they opt to round the top.

Compared XF, Infiniti M inspire massive silhouette, even some luxuries, but most strikes me that discretion rounded sedan with a style that does not hide the origins of Asian design. Snout prominent, with a massive grille flanked by two "eyes " somewhat pointed create for a strong brand image, but the Infiniti brand, even if rising European working has to reach a similar level of European competition reputation .

Altogether, Jaguar XF looks more appealing and dynamic, coming in addition to a heavy bag of brand recognition. So Infiniti M looks for an audience of older with at least 10-15 years, expressing his serious fans seemed more appropriate directors impeccable suits and ties.
