The S trim comes with 20-inch wheels and an S-specific body kit, which includes front and rear bumpers with gloss black accents, gloss black side sills, a trunklid spoiler and badging. The Portfolio features 18-way power-adjustable seats with four-way lumbar support, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a configurable ambient lighting system, a head-up display, and a larger 10.2-inch touchscreen and an 825-watt Meridian surround-sound system. But the real reason to get the R-Sport is its unique visual touches such as the two-tone interior package and body kit, which includes a unique front bumper, blacked-out grille with satin chrome trim, extended rocker sills, satin chrome side vents and a trunk spoiler.Īt the top end are two distinct choices: the luxurious Portfolio or the performance-oriented S. It adds adaptive headlights, contrasting seat stitching, blind-spot monitoring and satellite radio. Prestige models are upgraded to 19-inch wheels, a navigation system, keyless entry, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, front and rear park assist, and leather seats with four-way lumbar adjustment.įurther up is the R-Sport. The Premium trim adds driver-seat memory settings, a 40/20/40-split folding rear seat, a power-adjustable steering column and power-folding mirrors. The base XF also comes with a 380-watt Meridian surround-sound system and an 8-inch Jaguar Touch infotainment system.
But all in all, the XF is a good package: stylish, roomy and enjoyable to drive.Īs a performance-oriented car, even the base XF comes with JaguarDrive Control, a feature that allows drivers to select various modes altering the steering, throttle response and transmission shift characteristics to best suit the current road conditions. If we had to point out any weaknesses, it would be its infotainment system - more specifically, its poor smartphone integration - and build quality that falls short of the standards set by the class. And in terms of size, it's on par in interior volume, but the sedan edges out others when it comes to trunk volume. Styling is top-notch and punches above the XF's price bracket. Its shift selector rises from the center console when you fire up the engine, and its interior materials and colors are all generally warm and inviting. It's available in six trim levels, two body styles, with four engine choices, and either rear- or all-wheel-drive drivetrains, so you can dial in the exact experience you're looking for.Ĭompared to your typical luxury sedan, the XF has more charisma and pomp. It may not generate world-beating performance, but its lightweight all-aluminum chassis and suspension give the XF great road feel. The 2018 Jaguar XF is a midsize luxury vehicle that is a refreshingly different option among the popular and ubiquitous German staples of the class.
