2022 Jaguar XF Review

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.

The 2022 Jaguar XF is a midsize luxury sedan available in three trims: S, SE and SE R-Dynamic. The S and SE are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine (246 horsepower, 294 lb-ft of torque) and real-wheel drive. The SE R-Dynamic comes with a more potent version of the same engine (296 hp, 295 lb-ft) and all-wheel drive. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard on all trims.
