The Jaguar XF is the substitute for the former Jaguar S-Kind, a sedan developed together with the Lincoln LS beneath Jaguar's former owners, Ford Motor Company. The XF is a heavily reworked model of that older automotive, but with an incredible newfound sense of fashion--not to point out gorgeous new levels of performance. With a base value from the high $40,000s lurching into the $eighty,000 vary, the Jaguar XF finds competitors within the BMW 5-Collection, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the new Infiniti M56.

As a Idea C-XF, first shown at the 2007 Detroit auto present, the Jaguar XF broke from Jaguar heritage with clear, trendy strains and a reinvented cabin with glitzy touches of chrome and aluminum--and a rotary shift dial replacing the J-gate shifter present in classic Jaguars. Many of the details made it into the manufacturing model, which bowed at the 2007 Frankfurt auto show.

In its radical transformation, the XF gained a svelte new form that’s as trendy and slicing-edge as any sedan in its class--and it sports activities an inside worthy of a Virgin Airways cabin, with aluminum and wooden trim and a techno-groovy shifter knob. If potential, the XF's cabin delights drivers much more than the
exterior. It appears to have been lifted from the entrance desk at a classy London hotel.

In its first yr, the XF supplied a alternative of normally aspirated or supercharged 4.2-liter V-8 engines, with 300 horsepower and 420 hp, respectively. In other markets, diesel engines had been made available.

In the 2010 mannequin yr, Jaguar upgraded the engine lineup for the XF to include 5.zero-liter V-eight engines. The 300-horsepower, 4.2-liter V-8 carried over from the primary-yr sedan was joined a 385-hp 5.zero-liter V-eight, and within the XFR by a 510-hp supercharged 5.0-liter V-8. In 2011, the base 4.2-liter engine was discontinued, and the XF retained its high 510-hp engine, and added a 470-hp Supercharged model to the lineup. A six-speed automated transmission with paddle shifters works with all three. Apart from its German opponents, the XF's performance ranges from blinding to lurid--a performance-excellent difference from the outdated S-Type. Steering is light but direct and stuffed with feel, and the XF feels planted and effectively-managed in most circumstances.

The large criticisms than could be leveled in opposition to the three-yr-previous XF are its rear seat space and its lack of the all-wheel-drive choice discovered on most of its direct competition. It's truly tiny in back, with cramped leg area and no head room to spare for adults. Balanced handling makes up for the AWD possibility, but the XFR's large power calls for skilled consideration, even with its stability management systems. The options list features a beautiful 1200-watt Bowers & Wilkins audio system.
