Jenkins Jaguar All-Wheel Drive

November 11, 2012 Leave a comment

Jaguar enthusiasts who live in the snow belt areas of the U.S. are going to be pleased with the long-awaited new addition of AWD to the 213 XF and XJ models.  Jaguar’s instinctive “All-Wheel Drive” system uses a transfer case with a multi-plate wet clutch. By default, most of the power is sent to the rear wheels, and if slipping is detected, 100 percent of the thrust can be shifted to either axle.  (The XF model also comes with a choice of supercharged 4 and 6-cylinder engines.)
