The XF is a new sedan from Jaguar aimed at the middle of the luxury car market. The clean styling is a strong break from traditional Jaguar styling cues. This should appeal to those consumers who found recent Jaguar designs to be a bit stodgy. Derived from the S-type, the XF is roughly the same size as the BMW 5-Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, two of its competitors. The interior of the Jaguar is just as modern with an instrument panel that favors aluminum trim over wood. Jaguar offers a range of powertrain options including a fuel-efficient four-cylinder, and supercharged V6 and V8 engines. All-wheel-drive is also available (V6 only) for those that worry about all weather driving.

What Changed:

The XF adds a number of new powertrain options for the 2013 model year. The entry-level model now includes a 2.0l turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Mid-range models spec 3.0l supercharged V6 engine. The V8 models carry over in the top-priced models. A new all-wheel-drive system is available on the V6 model. All powertrains include an eight-speed automatic transmission.
