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) is Jaguar's large executive saloon, rivalling the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. This second-generation model, introduced in 2015 and facelifted in 2021, offers a stylish interior and impressive handling that sets it apart from its German competitors. Available as a four-door saloon or five-door Sportbrake estate with two- or four-wheel drive, the XF delivers excellent practicality with a 540-litre boot in the saloon and up to 1,700 litres in the Sportbrake. The facelifted 2021 model improved rear headroom and overall space, though the infotainment system doesn't quite match the intuitive interfaces of Audi and BMW.

The XF excels in driving dynamics with sharp, direct handling and a range of suspension options, including adaptive systems on higher trims. Diesel engines, particularly the 2.0-litre 180hp model, offer excellent fuel economy around 50mpg, whilst the 2021 D200 MHEV adds mild-hybrid technology. Petrol options range from 200hp to 300hp, with the 250hp P250 offering good balance. Running costs are reasonable for the class, though resale values lag behind German rivals—making used examples attractive purchases. The XF's exclusivity and driving prowess make it an excellent choice for those seeking something different from the established German brands.

Best for: Drivers seeking an engaging executive saloon with distinctive styling, those prioritising driving dynamics and practicality, and buyers wanting an alternative to German marques.

Not ideal for: Those requiring hybrid or electric powertrains, buyers concerned about reliability, or those seeking the softest ride in the executive class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the XF if: You're seeking an engaging executive saloon with distinctive styling, prioritising driving dynamics and practicality, or wanting an alternative to German marques.

Consider alternatives if: You require hybrid or electric powertrains, are concerned about reliability, or seek the softest ride in the executive class.

Competitive Position: The Jaguar XF (2016-present) is a compelling choice in the executive saloon market, offering superior driving dynamics and distinctive styling compared to its German rivals. Whilst the BMW 5 Series edges ahead on expert ratings and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class leads in user satisfaction, the XF delivers excellent value as a used purchase with strong practicality and engaging handling. Its lower resale values make it an attractive proposition for budget-conscious buyers seeking premium executive motoring. The absence of hybrid options and reliability concerns are notable drawbacks, but for those prioritising driving enjoyment and exclusivity, the XF remains a highly rewarding choice.
