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 a stylish large executive saloon that rivals the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. This second-generation model, introduced in 2015 and facelifted in 2021, offers impressive handling and a sleek design. Available as a four-door saloon or five-door Sportbrake estate with rear- or all-wheel drive, the XF combines performance with practicality. The saloon features a 540-litre boot, whilst the Sportbrake offers 1,700 litres with rear seats folded. Inside, the environment is stylish, though interior materials don't quite match the Audi A6's quality, and the infotainment system is less intuitive than German competitors.

The XF excels in driving dynamics with sharp, direct handling and three suspension options, including adaptive systems on fancier models. Diesel engines are recommended for superior fuel economy, with the 2.0-litre D200 MHEV offering 204hp and mild hybrid technology post-2021. Petrol options include 200hp, 250hp, and 300hp variants. Running costs are reasonable for the class, particularly with diesel models compliant with RDE2 emissions standards, though resale values don't match German rivals. The XF is more exclusive than mainstream competitors, offering a distinctive alternative for those seeking style, usability, and excellent driving manners.

Best for: Drivers prioritising engaging handling and style, those seeking an exclusive alternative to German executive saloons, and buyers wanting a practical large saloon or estate.

Not ideal for: Buyers requiring hybrid or electric options, those concerned about reliability records, or drivers wanting the softest ride in the executive class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the XF if: You prioritise engaging handling and style, seek an exclusive alternative to German executive saloons, or want a practical large saloon or estate.

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

Competitive Position: The Jaguar XF (2016-present) is a compelling choice in the executive saloon market, offering exceptional driving dynamics and distinctive styling that sets it apart from German rivals. Whilst the BMW 5 Series edges ahead on expert ratings and the Audi A6 leads in user satisfaction, the XF delivers excellent value and a more exclusive proposition. Its lack of hybrid options and mixed reliability record are drawbacks, but for drivers valuing performance, practicality, and individuality, the XF remains a highly attractive alternative to the established German trio.
