The Jaguar XF is an alluring luxury sedan with arresting visual style and a comfortable ride. But behind its initial presentation, the XF struggles to deliver on its promises and lacks real athletic credentials. This luxury sedan is defined not by its strengths but by its weaknesses, and while there are a few significant wins, there aren't enough to cover up its many blemishes.

Overview
The XF is a midsize luxury sedan and the English automaker's last remaining car. With plans underway to become an all-electric brand, Jaguar will likely discontinue the XF in the coming years. In the meantime, the aging XF continues to receive minor updates in order to keep it competitive. For 2023, the SE and top R-Dynamic SE trims now come with Amazon Alexa, a voice command system that can be used for making phone calls, playing music, navigation guidance and more. Adaptive cruise control, which makes highway driving easier, is now standard on all trims.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2023 Jaguar XF P250 S 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.93 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

The starting price of the XF is attractive when compared to expensive European rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series, but not as low as the Lexus ES 350 or Cadillac CT5. If you can live without quick acceleration, engaging handling dynamics and the latest in tech but you enjoy an elegant and comfortable sedan with a high-quality interior, the XF could be a viable option.

Rated for you by America's best test team.
Performance
7.0/10
How does the XF drive? The XF has adequate power. We tested a P300 R-Dynamic with all-wheel drive, and it sprinted from 0 to 60 mph at our test track in 6.9 seconds. That's not great, but the Jag has enough muscle that it'll easily keep pace in traffic. The brakes are where this Jag shines brightest. Along with strong results in our 60-0 mph panic-stop test, the Jag also feels composed and confident in routine braking.
The rest of the driving experience is not so impressive. The eight-speed automatic transmission has lazy shifts that hold the engine back, and the steering lacks on-center feel and needs to be monitored often when you're cruising on the highway. Most disappointing is that the XF feels lively and playful at lower speeds, but it oddly fails to provide the handling capabilities to keep up as your speeds increase. This unpredictability prevents it from reaching any sporty potential.

Comfort
8.0/10
How comfortable is the XF? The leather sport seats on our test vehicle were shapely and supportive on long drives, and the comfortable cushioning and side bolsters hold you in place under cornering. Up front there is a wide range of adjustability to suit drivers of different sizes. Ride comfort is another strength, muting imperfections in the road before they reach your seat. However, the suspension feels bouncy and is slow to return the car to a level ride. We noticed little noise inside the cabin at highway speeds.
One noticeable issue is the climate control system, which in our testing pumped out warm air even when turned to cooler temps.

Interior
7.0/10
How’s the interior? The XF has a spacious cabin with good room for rear passengers to get comfortable. But there are problems. Getting in and out is hindered by small doors, wide sills to step over, and a low roofline due to the athletic styling. Once you're in, the seats and steering wheel have a wide range of adjustments, but the controls to operate them are confusing and oddly placed.
It can also be difficult to see out due to the thick windshield pillars and bulky rearview mirror housing. And the controls are frustrating at best — the driver display is difficult to operate, the infotainment menus are vague, and the XF offers few hard buttons that could offer some relief. You have to pull, press or twist the climate dials depending on what you're trying to achieve. This learning curve is beyond what we typically find acceptable.

Technology
7.5/10
How’s the tech? The 11.4-inch touchscreen delivers vibrant maps and menus, with easy operation of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. The navigation system can also find addresses quickly, and our test vehicle had an excellent surround-sound stereo amplified by the XF's tranquility. On the downside, the parking sensors are also loud and drown out your audio to deliver incessant warnings even if you're sitting in traffic. We also found it annoying that you have to use the same button to operate the speed limiter function and the adaptive cruise control. A system that should be as straightforward as possible is instead unnecessarily confusing.
Storage
6.0/10
How’s the storage? The XF was once a class standout when it comes to cargo capacity, but the current version is dramatically worse. At just 10.5 cubic feet, the trunk is the smallest we've tested in the midsize luxury class, and its high floor and low ceiling make it unusable for many medium-size to large items. Similarly, there's very limited storage space inside the cabin. Please pack lightly.
The back seat has enough space to accommodate a child's car seat, but the small door openings may make it difficult to load a bulky rear-facing seat. Also be careful not to lose the detachable latch covers.

Fuel Economy
7.0/10
How’s the fuel economy? On our highway-biased evaluation route, our all-wheel-drive XF returned 23.7 mpg, which is below its EPA estimate of 25 mpg combined (22 city/30 highway). This is an indication that the XF may struggle to replicate its estimated fuel economy rating when driving in the real world, and it's lower than some luxury sedan rivals that use larger and more powerful six-cylinder engines. It also requires premium fuel.
Value
8.0/10
Is the XF a good value? The XF makes an instant impression. Inside there is an impressive display of leathers and metal brought together with tight stitching and panel gaps. The Jag is typically priced higher than fully loaded Japanese competitors but less than German rivals.
Jaguar also offers a good warranty, including five years/60,000 miles for the basic and powertrain coverage. The same terms apply to rust coverage, roadside assistance and free maintenance, which is generous for the class.

Wildcard
7.5/10
The XF has an abundance of personality thanks to its distinctive style and attractive interior quality. It certainly makes a statement upon arrival, more so than many luxury competitors. But along with that presence comes a litany of frustrations, such as feigned sportiness that is never realized in practice.
Which XF does Edmunds recommend?
If you don't want the additional power or all-wheel-drive system from the top-spec R-Dynamic SE model, we suggest opting for the SE trim. It adds several features for a modest price increase, but more importantly, it opens up the availability of a few option packages and many stand-alone options including ventilated front seats, upgraded leather upholstery and an upgraded Meridian audio system.
Jaguar XF models
The 2023 Jaguar XF is a midsize luxury sedan available in three trims: S, SE and R-Dynamic SE. The S and SE are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine (246 horsepower, 269 lb-ft of torque) and are rear-wheel drive. The SE R-Dynamic is equipped with a more potent version of the same engine (296 hp, 295 lb-ft) and all-wheel drive. An eight-speed automatic transmission backs both engines.
S
The base S model comes standard with:
- 18-inch wheels
- LED headlights
- Rain-sensing windshield wipers
- Power-folding and heated mirrors with automatic dimming on the driver's side
- Panoramic sunroof
- Power trunklid
- Keyless entry and ignition
- Interior ambient lighting
- Auto-dimming rearview mirror
- Dual-zone climate control
- Heated front seats
- Leather upholstery
- 11.4-inch touchscreen
- 13-speaker Meridian audio system

- Wireless device charger
All XFs come with a suite of advanced driver aids, including:
- Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
- Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Jaguar and the car in front)
- Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
- Lane keeping assistance (steers the XF back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
- Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
- Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
SE
Stepping up to the SE adds:
- 19-inch wheels
- Driver's seat memory settings
- Upgraded interior ambient lighting
- Amazon Alexa voice assistant
- Navigation system
- Automatic high-beam assist
- Traffic sign recognition (alerts you to changes in speed limits and road conditions and can automatically adjust the speed if the adaptive speed limiter is enabled)
Unlike the base model, there are many packages and stand-alone options for the SE. These include:
- Dynamic Handling package
- Adaptive suspension (for improved ride comfort and handling)
- Rear spoiler
- Red brake calipers
- Black Exterior Styling package
- Black-painted grille, grille surround, window trim, badging and side vents
- Cold Climate package
- Heated steering wheel
- Heated windshield
- Headlight washer jets
- Convenience package
- Power-adjustable steering wheel
- Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
- Two additional USB ports
- Powered rear sunshade
- Activity key (a wearable wristband that replaces a conventional key fob)
- 20-inch wheels
- Upgraded leather upholstery
- Leather-wrapped interior panels
- Faux suede headliner
- Ventilated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Heated rear seats
- 17-speaker Meridian audio system
- Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)
R-Dynamic SE
Along with the more potent engine and all-wheel-drive powertrain, the SE R-Dynamic adds:
- Sport-tuned suspension
- Black exterior styling trim
- Front sport seats
- Interior contrast stitching (black interior only)
- R-Dynamic branding on steering wheel and doorsill plates
All of the SE's optional extras are available for the R-Dynamic as well.

5/5 stars, The Car to get -- If Driving Matters Most.
My 1st Jag,
S 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
Just finished an Audi A6 lease, and was planning to do the easy thing and get into another Audi. Then....I drove the Jaguar XF. I first drove a base XF in premium trim, then I drove XF S AWD. And wow, does the XF S AWD drive! The steering feel, handling, and responsiveness far exceed the Audi and the BMW 5 series. If you care about the joy of driving, you owe it to yourself to check … out the XF. It just feels lighter and more responsive. The XF's interior is simple, elegant, uncluttered, reminicent of a comfortable driver's cockpit, which is what I prefer. It has all the safety nannies like lane departure, blind spot warning, LED headlights, and parking aides. If you're looking for a more sophisticated and shiny interior, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes is a better place to look. Finally, the price. The XF S AWD doesn't come cheap, especially the fully loaded models. I decided to to pick the right color combination with custom wheel appearance package, and forgo many of the optional packages. By doing this, the MSRP on my XF S AWD was $7-8K lower than the fully loaded ones. Some dealers (but not all) are willing negotiate, especially at month's end. Most dealers are discounting the them 3-4K, but if you're patient and timing is right, you can potentially double those savings. One more thing, it comes with a 5 year, 60K mile warranty, with prepaid maintenance, something Audi and Mercedes doesn't do and BMW does for 1 year and 10K less.
3/5 stars, Love and Hate Type of Car
Dillon Patel,
35t Premium 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
I leased this car in October 2017 because the lease deal was $399 zero down for a $$63,000 car. Has a lot of safety features and the best part is the supercharged engine which is the best part about the car. However after a month of ownership the rear view camera was dangling as well as the rear heated seat component. They were both replaced but the same issue occurred a week later. The … speakers were blown which were recently replaced and now the sunroof doesn’t close. Since there aren’t many jaguar dealerships in N.J. it is hard to get an appointment with a loaner car.
5/5 stars, Love my new XF - 2016 Redesign
Mic Jaguar,
35t Prestige 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
So...I've owned pretty much every German brand, a few Japanese cars and two American sports cars. I wasn't even considering Jaguar as option this go-around, but stopped at the dealership to check out the XE (boy was that TOO small). Then I sat in the XF and realized this was the perfect car (fit and finish). Once I took it for a test drive I was hooked. It feels like a big cat ready to … leap out of it's skin! PROS: Acceleration, Exhaust note, Handling, Exterior looks, Interior comfort, Entertainment System, Space for family of 4, Touches of comfort not found in competing German brands, Warranty and Service plan included. CONS: Not many, but I've had a small rattle on the passenger side door, however, Jaguar has been great about isolating and fixing AND the Auto start/stop feature is maddening (just need to get used to turning it off when you start the car). I highly recommend the XF!
5/5 stars, Very satisfied
Jhill,
35t Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
Have had this car for 2 years now. Overall extremely satisfied with the car. 33mpg on road trips in a car with 340hp is great. Very smooth ride quality. Seats....after two years....are still very supportive. I'm 6'2/240lbs and am very comfortable. Tires have, so far, lasted 28,000 miles which is fabulous. Absolutely no mechanical problems. Had some odd cosmetic issues present at … delivery; sales/service was absolutely awesome at handling all of them. The service department at the local dealer is pretty disorganized; not relevant to my enjoyment of the car but will factor in my decision what to get at the end of the lease.
Update-7 months later and just passed 40k miles. Tires just got replaced; probably had a few more miles left on them. No mechanical problems of any kind. Ride quality still excellent. Trunk liner (they call it a gasket) is loose. Took it to a different dealer than mentioned in previous review and they failed at fixing it. Turns out there's a TSB out on this very thing, so will take it to a different dealer at next service. Very satisfied with car and when lease is up will still consider sticking with Jaguar. Again, though, the service departments so far have been poor. This will factor into my decision. Jaguar USA...if you are listening....you need to get a handle on these service departments.
Update: Lease is over and I absolutely enjoyed the car. No mechanical problems, wear/tear WELL within expectations. Overall MPG was 27. Highest ever was 34. Unfortunately JLR wasn't offering any deals to keep me as a customer. Prices on new XFs were just too high when compared to competitors. Tried to work a deal with a nearby dealer on a nicer XE; sales crew was mostly unresponsive to emails and texts.
In summary, the car was fantastic, and (based on the car alone) I would probably have stayed Jaguar had I gotten some love.

Jaguar XF vs. Mercedes-Benz E-Class
The current fifth-generation E-Class debuted just one year after the current XF, but it has aged much better and is one of our highest-ranking luxury sedans thanks to a series of updates Mercedes has given it over the years. The E-Class tops the XF in most categories, including driving performance, comfort and tech. Just keep in mind, you'll be paying a lot more money for the Mercedes, and it comes with fewer standard advanced driver aids. Passenger space is similar but the E-Class provides more trunk space.
Jaguar XF vs. Genesis G80
The G80's complete redesign for the 2021 model year was a vast improvement over the previous generation. So much so, the South Korean luxury sedan became as impressive as Europe's best. It offers robust engines, a sumptuous interior, loads of tech, and a design that stands out from the crowd. You also get lots of standard features for a starting price that's slightly higher than the XF's, but the G80's higher trims get pricey. In terms of passenger and cargo space, the Genesis provides more.
Jaguar XF vs. Lexus ES 350
The ES 350's starting price undercuts the XF's by several thousand. It might not sound as exciting as the Jaguar when you're telling friends and family about it, but it boasts a V6 engine with more power, a larger optional center touchscreen, and F Sport models that handle better than you think. The Lexus is also superbly comfortable and provides more legroom than the XF. Inside, both sedans sport well-crafted luxurious cabins made with high-quality materials. When it comes to style, however, the Jaguar gets the nod.
