Jaguar XF (2016-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
One of the best executive saloons to drive	No hybrid model
Well equipped	Iffy reliability record
A more unusual alternative to its German rivals	Models with sports suspension have a crashy ride

Quick Summary

The Jaguar XF (2016-present), codenamed X260, is Jaguar’s executive car, rivaling the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, and Mercedes E-Class. Available as a four-door saloon or Sportbrake estate with two- or four-wheel drive, it offers a stylish interior, though its quality and infotainment don't quite match the best German rivals. Passenger space is generous, with the saloon boasting a 540-litre boot and the Sportbrake offering up to 1,700 litres with seats folded.

Driving dynamics are a strong suit, known for sharp, direct handling, though some sports suspension models can be firm. Engine options include 2.0-litre petrols (200-300hp) and diesels, with a 204hp mild-hybrid diesel introduced in 2021, replacing earlier variants. Fuel economy is competitive for diesels (up to 50.9mpg), but there are no hybrid or electric options. Running costs are competitive for diesel models, but resale values can be lower than German rivals. Trim levels were refined in 2021 to S, SE, and HSE, all offering good equipment.

Best for: Drivers who enjoy a sharp, engaging driving experience, those seeking a stylish and practical executive car with ample passenger and boot space, and buyers looking for a more exclusive alternative to the common German executive saloons.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising outright interior material quality or intuitive infotainment systems over German rivals, those requiring a plug-in hybrid or electric powertrain option, drivers sensitive to a firm ride (especially on models with sports suspension or larger wheels), or buyers highly concerned about long-term resale value compared to segment leaders or Jaguar's reliability record.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the XF if: You're a driver who enjoys a sharp, engaging driving experience, seeking a stylish and practical executive car with ample passenger and boot space, or looking for a more exclusive alternative to the common German executive saloons.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise outright interior material quality or intuitive infotainment systems, require a plug-in hybrid or electric powertrain option, are sensitive to a firm ride (especially on models with sports suspension or larger wheels), or are highly concerned about long-term resale value compared to segment leaders or Jaguar's reliability record.

Competitive Position: The Jaguar XF (2016-present) carves out a niche as a stylish and engaging executive car. It excels in driving dynamics and practicality, offering a distinctive alternative to its German rivals. While it might not match the Audi A6 for interior material quality or the BMW 5 Series for overall refinement in all aspects, its sharp handling, generous space, and unique appeal make it a compelling choice. The lack of hybrid options and a less robust resale value are considerations, but for those prioritising driving pleasure and exclusivity, the XF remains a strong contender in the premium executive segment.
