Jaguar has unveiled its latest XF and XJ all-wheel drive models at the Moscow Motor Show. Jaguar also used the show to introduce its high-performance Speed Pack for the 2013 XFR sedan.
Announced earlier this month, Jaguar's new all-wheel drive system should help the British automaker gain traction in regions that typically see slippery roads. The AWD system will be optional on both the XF and XJ for the 2013 model year, coming paired exclusively to a new 340 horsepower supercharged 3.0L V6.

"In low grip conditions, such as snow and ice, the system automatically transfers torque to all four wheels to optimize traction, vehicle stability and driver confidence," Global Brand Director Adrian Hallmark said. "So with this capability our XF and XJ saloons are perfect for the Russian winter, spring, summer and autumn."

Hallmark also introduced the 2013 XFR Speed Pack. Optional on the 510 horsepower XFR model, the Speed Pack raises the XFR's top speed from 155mph to 174mph. The package also includes a unique front splitter and rear wing to differentiate the Speed Pack car from the standard XFR.

On the other end of the performance spectrum, Jaguar is also introducing a four-cylinder version of the XF for the 2013 model year that promises up to 29mpg.
