The new XF GrandAurora is another step forward in Pilato’s ‘Jaguar Drive’; it extends and diversifies the range of XF-derived hearses, an agile, dynamic and safe four-seater that joins the traditional two-seat Aurora. The design of the GrandAurora is both simple and surprising, blending aesthetics and practicality. It is also equipped with the very latest casket loading and unloading systems and mechanisms.
Even at the design stage we approached the rear volume from a totally new perspective, achieving a compromise between the extreme idea of total glazing and a traditional side view.
The result is a profile highlighted by an elegant wave that starts from the top of the door and descends to the tail end, creating a sinuous line reminiscent of a cat.
The need for a large rear side window that could highlight the coffin compartment led designers to create one of the largest windows ever seen in this class of vehicle.
The large window in the tailgate fills the coffin compartment with natural light, increasing visibility of the interior during the funeral cortege to accompany the deceased on his final journey.
The renowned craftsmanship of our workforce is reflected in every detail, and the intuitive technologies that control the coffin handling, tailgate opening and lighting devices allow the undertaker to manage the various functions using push buttons in the coffin compartment and the driving position or by remote control.
The various colour ranges give the beautiful funeral upholstery even more character.
The original vehicle features the Prestige outfit and includes a range of equipment that makes it ideal for every-day professional use: cruise control with an automatic limiting device, Jaguar Drive Control, and a Parking Pack that includes rear parking sensors, front parking sensors and a rear camera; non-retractable power adjustable door mirrors; 7” LCD colour screen; Bluetooth; Taurus perforated black leather upholstery; power front seats that adjust to 10 positions; automatic dual zone climate control.
The passenger compartment is the same size as on the standard saloon, thus guaranteeing a high level of comfort and making it extremely easy for passengers to get in and out.
Design, technology, materials, components, a skilled workforce; at Pilato everything has to meet the criterion of superior quality. We are able to put this philosophy into practice because for more than 55 years we have invested in training, technological research, product development, and the upgrading of our plant and structures.
