Meanwhile new advances such as adaptive LED headlights with automatic high beam assist and adaptive cruise control help make the XF one of the safest Jaguars yet.

Imagination is the world’s most valuable resource. Because if we can imagine it, we can create it. Mazda is built on a foundation of imagination and ingenuity. It’s the fuel behind everything we’ve created and all we’re yet to achieve. It’s this same spirit that has inspired our award-winning new-generation model range – our class of 2016. Imagination is also a window to the future, so join us and see where it takes us next. 4 WHAT'S HOT NBR SHOWROOM AUTUMN 2016 NBR SHOWROOM AUTUMN 2016 WHAT'S HOT 5
