The 2024 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.Read full review

Our editors recommend the P300 R-Dynamic SE trim for the best balance of features, performance, and value. See why we chose it

Overview

Jaguar's 2024 XF is a midsize luxury sedan that relies on its beauty and finish quality to remain relevant against an onslaught of newer, more tech-savvy and more powerful rivals. This is not the newest sedan in the class and it's not the quickest or most efficient, but it's still a pretty nice car that's worth a look if those things are low on your priority list. What's more, by pricing the XF between the below German competitors, Jaguar implements a clever cost strategy that's appropriate for the sedan's middling market position.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Jaguar XF P250 R-Dynamic SE 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 $3.77 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: The XF's aging design

The XF is slowly aging out of the Jaguar lineup, and that's becoming increasingly apparent every model year that it remains. This year Jaguar has whittled the XF lineup to only one trim level with two powertrains. That means you may pay for features you don't want or need if you buy an XF for other reasons. Rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are both still available. But the XF offers only a single 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine in two outputs, both of which make less power than most of its competition's midrange and upper-tier powertrains.

Competitors to consider

The XF falls into the highly competitive and wildly luxurious realm of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series in terms of size and intent. But given some of its shortcomings, it's only appropriate that it cost less than those cars. Other considerations in the class include the Genesis G80 and Cadillac CT5. See our Expert Rating below for all the details.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7/10

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

8/10

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

7/10

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.

Build & Price

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

6/10

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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7/10

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 24 mpg in combined city/highway driving. This is an indication that the XF may struggle to replicate its estimated fuel economy when driving in the real world, and it's lower than some luxury sedan rivals that use larger and more powerful six-cylinder engines.

Value

8/10

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?

The R-Dynamic SE is the only trim offered and both of its optional powertrains come with the same standard features. And though the P250 variant is considerably less powerful, we recommend making your decision based on whether or not you need all-wheel drive, which is standard on the P300.

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 …
