Safety & Driver Assistance Tech: 11/15
The 2023 XF has not been rated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which costs it some points in our evaluation. However, it gets a five-star rating from the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP), an EU Agency which conducts similar tests.
Jaguar also bundles in many active safety features, some of which cost extra on the XF’s German rivals. They include forward automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, exit warnings and rear cross-traffic alerts.
The XF offers more rear seat room than BMW or Mercedes-Benz, despite the Jag’s sleek shape and sloping roofline. Forbes Wheels Staff
Infotainment: 13/15
The XF comes standard with an 11.4-inch infotainment touch-screen and runs Jaguar Land Rover’s Pivi Pro infotainment system, which is currently making its way through all of the company’s products. You’ll find a similar setup on the F-Pace, and the system should stay fresh for a long time as it can handle over-the-air updates.
The screen is big and the graphics top-notch, as are the maps in the standard navigation system. It’s not a hard system to learn and the menus are easy to navigate and read even in motion, though we prefer a system with more hard controls. If you don’t care for Pivi Pro, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is a wireless cell phone charging dock and a 12-speaker Meridian audio system.
Jaguar quotes 19.1 cubic-feet of space in this trunk, which is huge for the class, although it isn’t necessarily easy to use all of the space. Jaguar
2022 Jaguar XF Pricing
Via: Jaguar
For 2022, the Jaguar XF gives consumers incomparable luxury and at an incredible value. While not cheap by any standard, it offers a level of technology and performance that are standard where its competitors charge extra. The base price is also in-line or even slightly below directly competing offerings from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
The base P250 Jaguar XF starts at $45,300. In comparison, the P250SE variant begins at $48,100. The top-trim R-Dynamic P300 SE starts at $51,000. Premium paint choices will raise the price by $600 to $900 depending on choice, and a variety of premium wheels are available for $1,250. Otherwise, most features are standard.
Style & Design: 7/10
While still a good-looking and curvaceous design, the XF is not helped by the fact that this second-generation model drew so closely on the styling of the circa-2007 first-gen model. Though the details are different, it was not easy to tell them apart at first and now that it’s been eight model years, it looks older than it should. It’s still pretty, but looks like something you’ve seen before because you have. It lacks the newness of competitors from Germany, Genesis, or even the Cadillac CT-5.
2021’s cabin updates gave the XF better tech features and a nicer (if still a little temperamental) shifter, but they also seem to have erased some of the magic of the cabin as it was before. It’s spare and modern, but lacks the charms of old-school burled walnut Jags. It’s a cut above any mainstream sedan but seems a bit anonymous compared with the A6, G80 or E-Class.
It may be graying, the XF is sure to be the last in a long line of sporty sedans from this famous make, and you only have until 2024 to get one. Forbes Wheels Staff
Is the 2023 Jaguar XF Worth it? Which XF is the Best Value?
The base XF P250 S starts at $48,275 including a $1,150 destination fee, and it’s the best value of the lot. It comes with lots of standard equipment including all the active safety gear, heated leather power front seats, a power sunroof, surround-view monitoring and lots more. Right out of the door, this is $2,000 less than the G80, $7,000 less than the BMW 530i and nearly $9,000 less than the entry-level Audi A6 and E-Class models. Whatever the Jag’s shortcomings, that’s at least a bargain.
Upgrading to the P 250 SE ($50,575) adds AWD and some extra equipment, and the P 300 R-Dynamic SE ($53,975) adds the more powerful engine. The extra power is nice, but it also puts the car in more direct competition with the yet-more-powerful and roomier G80, which also has a lengthier warranty and other advantages. Stick with the base model if you’re after an XF.
2022 Jaguar XF Interior, Quality, And Technology
Via: Jaguar
The interior of the redesigned Jaguar XF is entirely new and beautifully transformed. At the center of the redesigned interior is the 11.4-inch Pivi Pro infotainment center. The screen features a slight curvature, allowing the driver’s finger to glide off of it quickly. The system also features over-the-air updating, meaning it will only get better over time.
Twin 5G modems mean the system can promptly handle multiple tasks at the same time. The system also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning consumers can seamlessly integrate their smartphones into the system. A 12-speaker sound system by Meridian ensures crisp quality with any music. Active noise cancellation also monitors exterior sound with opposite phase sound waves that keep the XF cabin incomparably quiet. Tactile controls for climate control are sensible, something that is almost extinct in this class of automobiles.

The rest of the Jaguar XF’s interior is decidedly premium. The consumer can choose from a host of fine complete leather interiors and trims. Consumers can choose between genuine wood veneer or aluminum finishes. Drivers retreated to a standard intelligent digital gauge cluster and a standard head-up display. In the center console, consumers will find a typical wireless phone charger. The self-presenting rotary dial has been replaced with a more traditional gear shifter. A push-button start button and volume control knob are sensibly positioned.
Moving above is an intelligent true-sight review mirror that shows a digital image from a camera located at the rear. A smart panoramic sunroof features a sensor that allows it to be controlled by gesture. A wave of the hand towards the rear can automatically open the large sunroof with ease, though traditional switches are also present.
Performance: 8/15
With the old supercharged V6 deleted, the XF now comes only with a pair of turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. The P 250 S and SE get 247 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque while the P 300 R-Dynamic SE ups the ante to 296 hp and 295 lb-ft. Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The base P 250 S is rear-wheel drive, while the other models are all-wheel drive (AWD).
Though you expect performance and luxury from a Jag, you get more of the latter from the XF. it has a lovely and compliant ride but doesn’t feel very quite sporty, even in R-Dynamic trim.
The chassis, transmission, brakes, and engine all have individual merits. The body motions are controlled and don’t crash over rough bumps, displaying the longer travel, comfy-on-a-country-lane suspension familiar to British cars. The transmission’s shifts are smooth and precise; it’s the same ZF 8-speed used in the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series. The brakes have plenty of bite. The motor has a decent amount of thrust and a sweet exhaust note.
But these components don’t add up to the satisfying experience most rival sedans offer. The car feels like it’s arguing with itself, misunderstanding the instructions each system sends to the central brain. It wasn’t unbridled, like a wild horse—that can be fun. It was more like driving a team of horses, all with slightly different ideas of how to get somewhere.
Jaguar’s lack of any additional powertrains means it has no answer for any of the higher-spec models in the German and Korean arsenals, like the AMG E 53 or G80 3.5T.
2022 Jaguar XF Performance And Handling
Via: Jaguar
The Jaguar XF has always been a world-class touring sedan. The car features aluminum architecture, meaning it is much lighter than its size may suggest, contributing to a scant 0-60 sprint of 0-60 in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 149 mph. The R-Dynamic P300 trim expectedly brings the 0-60 time down to just 5.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. Despite Jaguar aiming the XF’s focus on comfort for 2022 rather than performance, the suspension is still superb. The standard suspension departs from traditional sports sedan harshness in favor of a more comfortable ride that consumers might expect from Volvo.
Cornering prowess is still entirely in effect as the XF confidently takes sharp bends at any speed. An adaptive suspension package further adds to the Jaguar’s driving refinement. Adaptive drive modes allow the driver to toggle between firm and comfortable suspension settings. The package also includes red Jaguar-branded brake calipers, and a rear mounted trunk spoiler. The fuel economy in the XF is up with 22 MPG city, 30 MPG highway, and 25 MPG in mixed driving.
Jaguar XF (2015 — 2023) — багажник, практичность и безопасность
Учитывая гладкость его четырехдверного купе-подобного профиля, вы могли бы подумать, что практичность Jaguar XF может быть не особенно впечатляющей, но в нем есть место для четырех взрослых и багажник приличного размера.
Существует также много места для хранения полезных размеров. Перед переключателем находится стойка с резиновой подкладкой, пара подстаканников на центральной консоли и откидной подлокотник, который также открывает пару USB-портов и 12-вольтовую зарядную точку. Дверные полки не самые большие, но, по крайней мере, они имеют форму, подходящую для высокой бутылки с напитком.
Поместится ли мой багаж?
Это поколение XF имеет больший люк, чем раньше, что обеспечивает лучший доступ к 540-литровому багажнику.
В стандартной комплектации все модели имеют спинку заднего сиденья, разделенную в пропорции 40:20:40, что облегчает перевозку более длинных и неудобных грузов.
Модели SE с более высокими характеристиками в стандартной комплектации имеют вход без ключа, но все они имеют запуск без ключа. Если этого недостаточно, опциональный ключ Activity Key позволяет надеть водонепроницаемый браслет, чтобы заблокировать/разблокировать и запустить XF без необходимости носить с собой брелок. Задняя дверь с электроприводом также входит в стандартную комплектацию, и ее простота использования может быть дополнительно улучшена с помощью дополнительного обновления системы управления движением.
Легко ли парковаться?
При длине 4.962 1.605 мм, ширине 1.456 XNUMX мм и высоте XNUMX XNUMX мм XF не является самым компактным седаном, но, по крайней мере, он выигрывает от больших зеркал и больших окон, обеспечивающих хороший обзор.
Передние и задние датчики парковки входят в стандартную комплектацию всех моделей, наряду с системой камер с обзором на 360 градусов, которая также может отображать автомобиль в 3D.
Безопасность
В ходе краш-тестов, проведенных экспертами по безопасности Euro NCAP, Jaguar XF получил полный пятизвездочный рейтинг.
Все XF оснащены шестью подушками безопасности, светодиодными фарами, электронным контролем устойчивости, системой помощи при старте в гору, системой удержания полосы движения, автономным экстренным торможением и парой точек Isofix для крепления детских кресел сзади.
Пакет дополнительных опций доступен в двух дополнительных пакетах: Пакет помощи при слепых зонах и Пакет помощи водителю. Первый включает в себя систему помощи при слепых зонах, предупреждение о перекрестном движении сзади и монитор четкого выхода, который предупреждает задних пассажиров о приближающемся транспортном средстве, если они собираются открыть свои двери. Пакет помощи водителю включает в себя все это, но добавляет адаптивный круиз-контроль и мониторинг заднего столкновения.

2022 Jaguar XF Powertrain And Drivetrain
Via: Jaguar
For 2022 the Jaguar XF’s engine lineup has been slimmed down to a single offering with two variants. Six-cylinder and diesel variants have been dropped in favor of a turbocharged four-cylinder. The base XF P250 features 246 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque powering the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The P250SE features the same performance numbers and adds standard all-wheel-drive. The XF R-Dynamic P300 is a performance-oriented variant. All-wheel-drive is standard, and power is taken up to 296 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Still, substantially less than past iterations, though it is unlikely consumers will see more powerful powertrains in the future as Jaguar has confirmed they have electric sedans in the works that will likely take the place of the XF in the future.
Comfort & Room: 11/15
With a relatively generous wheelbase (116.5 inches) and a space-efficient cabin, the XF offers comfy and, for a sedan of this type, spacious accommodations. Up front, the seats are comfy and supportive and there’s plenty of room even for tall adults. The real differentiator is in the back. Though the XF is quite low-slung, it actually offers a little more rear headroom than Audi, BMW and Mercedes and appreciably more legroom than the latter two (37.7 inches in the Jag vs. 36.5 in the Bimmer and 35.8 in the Benz).
This was more impressive in the era before the current Genesis G80 though, which offers 38.7 inches of rear legroom and more space in back than all but the Lexus ES and Volvo S90. The Volvo, which is nearly a full-size car and comes only with a long wheelbase (its standard-wheelbase version was dropped in 2018), is the rear seat legroom champ in this group.
