2022 Jaguar XF Review

- Impressive interior design and quality of materials
- Generous passenger space
- Comfortable and supportive seats
- Quiet interior
- User interface is complicated and unintuitive
- Trunk space and interior storage are exceptionally scarce
- Less powerful and less efficient engines than many rivals
- Unsatisfying steering and handling characteristics
- Minor revisions to standard feature availability
- Part of the second XF generation introduced for 2016
The 2022 Jaguar XF is the last sedan standing in Jaguar's lineup, at least until the forthcoming electric XJ arrives. That's a slightly dissonant state for the English brand beloved for its legacy of iconic sedans (and at least one coupe), but such are the preferences of today's buyers. After a round of updates last year, the XF comes into 2022 with only minor enhancements to seats, interior trim and driver information. Ironically, analog gauges replace the previous digital display in the upper trims, a victory for drivers who prize the sight of a physical needle sweeping the dashes of a tachometer.
The XF stands out as one of the best luxury values around, with a significantly lower price than European rivals like the Audi A6 or BMW 5 Series, and even lower than a newer competitor like the Genesis G80. Even at its relatively affordable price the XF maintains an excellent balance of ride quality and engaging driving dynamics, along with plenty of passenger space and premium interior materials.
If you want the tech and comfort of a more expensive car but don't need to go fast, the XF is a smart pick. And, trust us, with two underwhelming engine options, you won't be going fast. Nor will you pick up many passengers with luggage since the XF's trunk is one of the smallest in its class. So the XF offers value, but not without compromises. Read our Expert Rating below to learn if you can live with the Jag sedan's hits and misses.
Performance
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
One noticeable issue is the climate control system, which in our testing pumped out warm air even when turned to cooler temps.

Interior
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
We didn't enjoy the voice controls so much — they offer only basic functionality and do not respond to natural language. The parking sensors are also loud and drown out your audio to deliver incessant warnings even if you're sitting in traffic. Inexplicably, you 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
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
Value
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.

Jaguar XF vs. the competition

2022 Jaguar XF

2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Jaguar XF vs. Mercedes-Benz E-Class
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is in many ways the benchmark for the midsize luxury sedan class. Yes, its Audi A6 and BMW 5-Series rivals are equally strong and excel in areas, but the E-Class may be the most well-rounded package of luxury, comfort, tech, performance and prestige. No surprise then that it tops our list of best midsize luxury sedans. The XF isn't on the same level. It offers just one engine, fewer options and clunkier infotainment tech, but it holds its own in ride comfort and lush interior quality. And it does it for a significantly lower price.
Jaguar XF vs. Audi A6
Like the E-Class, the Audi A6 costs thousands more than the XF, but it also offers a quick and punchy V6 engine, top-notch technology features, and impossibly cool and serene interior comfort and design. All-wheel drive also comes standard and the A6's trunk space, already small relative to competitors, seems vast compared to the XF's minuscule cargo capacity. Still, despite its shortcomings, the XF offers loads of visual personality and its price makes it a top value among luxury sedans.
Jaguar XF vs. Genesis G80
Redesigned in 2021, the Genesis G80 is a relative newcomer to the midsize luxury class, and it's a true rival to the XF when it comes to performance, comfort and features at a similar price. The G80's sloping roof yields a coupe-like profile, while the big mesh grille and thin head- and taillight designs exude strong visual presence. The G80's base engine makes more power than the XF's top option, though neither car offers a dedicated performance model. The G80 comes standard with some features that are XF options, but overall both cars match up well in terms of pricing and value.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Jaguar XF?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
