Jaguar has revealed that its upcoming XE sedan will feature an InControl infotainment system that is designed around an 8-inch touchscreen. A clear, intuitive user interface provides quick, easy access to all features and functions, and voice control using plain speech.
The InControl Remote allows users of iOS and Android smartphones to connect to the car from wherever they are and control a range of vehicle functions. These include seven-day timed pre-setting of the XE’s climate control system, locking or unlocking the doors, or starting the engine.
Jaguar InControl Apps allows users to seamlessly access smartphone apps through the vehicle’s touchscreen, making it easy to do everything from make a conference call, find a parking space or book a hotel room. The XE also functions as a Wi-Fi hotspot, enabling multiple devices to connect to the internet – the vehicle antenna provides the best possible signal.
Jaguar says that the infotainment system is matched by the array of advanced driver assistance systems available in the new XE such as the laser head-up display (HUD). Projecting sharp, high-contrast colour images onto the windscreen, the technology provides the driver with information such as speed and navigation instructions with maximum clarity and minimum distraction. As well as better image quality, the laser HUD is smaller and almost a third lighter than existing systems.
The new Jaguar XE will make its official debut in London on 8th September 2014. Meanwhile, check out the video below to find out more about the XE’s InControl infotainment system.
