What is Jaguar Torque-Vectoring?

Torque-vectoring is a performance technology that increases vehicles’ traction and handling in dry or wet conditions. The Jaguar XE Sedan, Jaguar F-PACE SUV, and Jaguar F-TYPE have this helpful system.

HOW DOES TORQUE-VECTORING WORK?

The Torque-Vectoring System uses sensors that collaborate to provide the best corner turning ability. The system computes the fairest distribution of torque to a wheel at any second based on the driver’s decisions and the weather conditions.

There are a few different approaches to torque-vectoring technology, and Jaguar offers torque-vectoring by braking. A brake-based torque-vectoring system momentarily applies the brakes to the inside wheels during turns.

This is how a brake-based torque-vectoring system works:

• Vehicle sensors continuously monitor torque distribution and use data like vehicle speed, steering angle, wheel speed, lateral G forces, and rotational speed sensors (yaw rate).
• The system automatically balances the distribution of torque to each wheel.
• During a turn, the braking system acts on the inside wheels.
• As a result, greater torque is channeled to the outside wheels.

WHY IS THE TORQUE-VECTORING SYSTEM USEFUL?

• Corrects understeer or oversteer
• Increased stability control
• Improves traction in varying weather conditions
• Better handling of your Jaguar
