Fantastic car, although if you are in for buying one, consider a 2021 model. After that, a lot of extras and equipment were scrapped from the list (mainly due to Covid and the phasing out of the model). In particular, newer models will not have 360 degree cameras or the ClearSight SmartView camera-fed mirrors. 2021 was the first model year this current design (facelift) was introduced, so you are not missing out on anything.
2017 year brand new was bought, 60k km today, 0 usd asked for service except oil and filters. That’s what I can tell about this car and that’s totally enough.
I have a 2021 XF and I love it. It’s less maintenance than I was anticipating and the pivi pro system is easy to use. I like the interior design and I personally didn’t care for a higher performance engine because most of the time I’m stuck in traffic anyways. It’s a really nice and practical car to drive around everyday, while still feeling special and unique because almost no one else has one. I’m a girl in my mid 30s, very demure and mindful…I thought Jaguar would be a low key luxury brand and mine is blacked out too so I thought people wouldn’t even know what it is. But actually people are more intrigued about it than when I had a Mercedes. And I now I feel compelled to learn Jaguar’s history because the people who come up to talk to you about a Jag want to reminisce about old models…and all I know about is this 2021 XF that I have 😅
I’ve got a 2016 XF with the SC 3.0, had it for six years. Absolutely the best car I’ve ever owned. BUT, it’s so sad how they basically gave up developing it after that, because while it is a great car for being nearly a decade old, it doesn’t hold up next to the newer competitors. RIP Jaguar.
I too am proud to say ,"yes, that's my Jag!". My 2016 XFS V6 SC AWD. 9 years, not 1 issue, 82k and it still pushes me back into the leather. When we valet on Rush St, we look suave stepping out of the XF, heads always turn 2x. It is and will always be JAGUAR, enuf said.
While I can understand you Americans miss the V8 SC, the 300 is still a quick car. 0-60 under 6 seconds. Can do 40MPG (uk) on a run if you want it to. So a good blend
I heard they're making a XJL, like in a really premium setting. Sad to see their current stage, considering their glorious history in racing, and super car 'projects'. Let's hope, they follow something similar to what caddilac did back in 2019 in redefining themselves
We got a 2024 XF as a bridge between a Range Sport and the new GT. I really love the way the car handles and steers in twisting roads. It does not have a great acceleration but is quick and can do 150 mph on the Aurobahns. We also own a 2000 XJR, a supercharged V8, and although the acceleration is not comparable, this car is much more rounded. We look forward to the Gt, but we may keep this one instead of trading it in.
Ford blew it when they pulled Jaguar out of racing. From that time forward, they never experienced the win on Sunday, buy on Monday. Never see them anywhere on the race track either, including the XF’s big brother, F-Type. Crazy value with major power and stunning looks, but completely lost in the crowded market.
Brilliant, love this review. You guys should do one on an S60......if you really want to. Kind of a mundane car but I think people in the market for XF's may be interested
I got a late 2016 3ltd s model and it's an absolute beast. Worse thing jaguar did was bring out the 2tld ingenium engine that proved to be unreliable and cost customers ££££'s due to failure.
Sorry can’t agree. I’ve a 2 Ltd diesel and it is more than fast enough for British roads . You may of course live in USA where everyone seems to be petrol heads and transfixed by 0 to 60 figures and raw power. We prefer balanced cars that can corner well at speed. A US visitor could not believe the quality of the ride compared to American cars.

Hi, guys. I enjoyed this video though some of your comments made me wince a bit. I bought a 2024 model about six months ago - British racing green with the same tan interior as the one you showed. Why? Because, like you said, I wanted something different. In the six months I've owned it, I have see only three on the road (and one of those was in Ireland.) I have driven BMWs and Audis for 30 years and certainly enjoyed them. But I am not a big fan of the huge digital screens that have proliferated in recent years. I was attracted to the classic design of the Jag, inside and out, and I find the Privo Pro system unobrtusive and easy to use. I think it has plenty of power for my needs and find it fun to drive, especially in Sport mode. And because I have not like the ride of run flats, I appreciate that it still comes with a spare. The one thing I would disagree with in your review is that I do not find that it feels cheap inside. If feels solidly built and upscale to me. Great sound system (Meridian), too. I am 75 years old and probably the target market for this car. Thanks for a thoughtful review!
@ nice! I’m so jealous. In singapore we only got the ingenium 200ps and 250ps petrols. Mine is the 250ps rwd. I always felt the chassis can easily handle more than 400 in rwd - there is so much grip! Here in Singapore where car prices are so crazy, it cost me 220k usd. That was still way cheaper than the equivalent bmw 520i (too underpowered at 188hp) and the boring merc e200.
Orange interior. Really ! Never seen one in UK. America you lack taste. This is (as you say) a beautiful car, I have a 2017 model and it is brilliant. Bear in mind that they are made for UK roads that are a bit different from yours. BMW has lost its way on design, Mercedes was always a bit Teutonic ugly, Audi “ Johnny come lately”. It’s a matter of taste.
Not sure why people turned their backs on this car. I own one and it drives great, easy to maintain and gets tons of looks
Is it reliable tho?
@ yes, so far I’ve not had any major issues. The problems I’ve had has been fixed with less than $800

Thanks for that man, appreciate it, I love that clearsight camera.

Had a 2012 XF and the base motor had i believe it was 340hp. (Na v8). To buy a brand new one 12 years later with 295hp is for sure a party foul

I don’t believe the 2015-2021 xf ever got a v8
I drive a 2022 xf. Love it
It sure did! At least here in the US is absolutely had one. In the R and the RS

Aluminium. So lighter than bmw I assume
Similar engine comparison, yes. Bmw is a few hundred lbs. Heavier.
