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. The 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 delivers excellent practicality with a 540-litre boot in the saloon and 1,700 litres in the estate. The interior is stylish, though materials don't quite match the Audi A6, and the infotainment system is less intuitive than German competitors.

The XF excels in driving dynamics with sharp, direct handling and a range of petrol and diesel engines paired with eight-speed automatic or six-speed manual gearboxes. The mid-level 2.0-litre diesel with 180hp offers the best balance of performance and economy. Post-2021 models feature the D200 MHEV mild hybrid diesel and P250/P300 petrol options. All trim levels are well-equipped, with the SE offering excellent value. Running costs are reasonable for the class, particularly with diesel engines achieving up to 50.9mpg. However, resale values lag behind German rivals, making used examples attractive purchases. The absence of a plug-in hybrid or electric option and a mixed reliability record are notable drawbacks.

Best for: Drivers seeking a stylish, engaging executive saloon with excellent handling, those wanting a more exclusive alternative to German brands, and buyers prioritising practicality and driving enjoyment.

Not ideal for: Those requiring hybrid or electric powertrains, buyers concerned about reliability, or those seeking the lowest running costs in the executive segment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the XF if: You're seeking a stylish, engaging executive saloon with excellent handling, wanting a more exclusive alternative to German brands, or prioritising practicality and driving enjoyment.

Consider alternatives if: You require hybrid or electric powertrains, are concerned about reliability, or seek the lowest running costs in the executive segment.

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 Audi A6 leads in user satisfaction, the XF delivers exceptional value as a used purchase due to lower depreciation. It combines practicality, technology, and engaging handling to rival the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6, though potential buyers should factor in its less impressive reliability record. For those prioritising driving pleasure and exclusivity over badge prestige, the XF represents an excellent alternative to the established German trio.
