Standard base trim features include 18-inch wheels, a sunroof, automatic xenon headlights, LED running lights and taillights, nighttime approach lighting, automatic wipers, push-button ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, leatherette upholstery, eight-way power front seats, a power-adjustable leather-wrapped steering wheel with shift paddles, a 5-inch driver information display, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity and an 11-speaker Meridian sound system with HD radio and a USB port.

The interior of the 2017 Jaguar XF S, shown here, features 12-way power front seats and ebony veneer trim. Gloss black, satin, and carbon-fiber accents are also available.

The Premium trim adds auto-dimming side mirrors; a power-adjustable steering column; memory settings for the driver seat, side mirrors and steering wheel positions; 40/20/40-split-folding rear seats and a rearview camera.

The Prestige trim builds on Premium features with 19-inch wheels, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry and ignition, a heated steering wheel, leather upholstery, blue interior accent lighting, heated front seats with four-way power lumbar, voice controls, smartphone-app integration and a navigation system with SD-card mapping.

The R-Sport trim includes different 19-inch wheels, adaptive LED headlights, automatic high-beam control, a rear spoiler, a collection of safety technologies (lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision mitigation with automatic emergency braking), sport-themed exterior and interior styling accents, sport front seats and satellite radio.

The S trim gets a more powerful engine, 20-inch wheels, adaptive suspension with adjustable settings, red brake calipers, unique exterior styling flourishes with gloss black and satin chrome accents, 12-way power front seats, front passenger seat memory and special interior trim.

Jaguar offers more than a dozen option packages and stand-alone options. The Premium trim, for example, can be outfitted with a Cold Climate pack (heated seats, steering wheel and windshield) and a Vision pack (adaptive LED headlights, automatic high beams, front and rear parking sensors and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert).

The Prestige's Vision pack consists of the Premium's Vision pack minus the parking sensors, which come standard. All trims except base and Premium can opt for a Comfort and Convenience pack (cooled front seats, heated rear seats, power-closing doors and a power trunk lid).

Optional on Prestige, R-Sport and S trims is the Technology pack, which includes an upgraded infotainment system with a 10.2-inch touchscreen, hard-drive-based navigation, a full LED gauge cluster and a 17-speaker sound system.

The R-Sport and S trims offer a Premium Interior Upgrade pack (power rear sunshade, manual rear side window shades, four-zone climate control, simulated suede headliner, adjustable multicolor ambient lighting and illuminated door sills) and a Driver Assistance pack (adaptive cruise control, a self-parking system, a surround-view camera system and speed-limit recognition). The Black pack for the XF S adds gloss-black trim to the grille, vents and trunk.

Stand-alone options include various wheel designs, a head-up display, mobile WiFi and different interior trims and veneers.

The 2017 Jaguar XF offers two engine choices: a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and a new turbodiesel 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The V6 makes 380 hp in S trim, and 340 hp in all others, and 332 lb-ft of torque in both cases. The four-cylinder is rated at 180 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque.

With restrained lines and uncluttered body panels, the 2017 Jaguar XF cuts a dashing figure on the road and in the valet line.

An eight-speed automatic transmission comes standard with either engine, with your choice of either rear- or all-wheel drive on every trim.

The standard All-Surface Progress Control system helps the XF get moving in low-traction situations. When engaged, you set a target speed with the cruise control, and the XF selectively applies power to maximize traction. Adaptive Surface Response mode (included on AWD models optioned with the adaptive suspension) senses the quality of the surface on which you're driving and adjusts the throttle, brakes, transmission and stability control for optimal grip.

Jaguar says rear-drive XFs with the lower power rating will do zero to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds, while the S trim shaves a tenth of a second. All-wheel drive also shaves a tenth in both cases. These are competitive times for the segment among similarly powered models.

The EPA rates the rear-wheel-drive XF at 24 mpg combined (20 city/30 highway) for both V6 engine tunes, while all-wheel drive yields 23 mpg combined (20 city/28 highway). Fuel economy estimates for the new diesel are pending.
