As the owner of a Sportbrake i have to say i couldnt be happier, and have previously owned german cars!
How's the reliability?
Looking to buy s2018 sportbrake, any advice or warranty concerns I should take care of?
The Jag XF finally grew up. It looks stunning. Personally i like the simple muted interior. No Android or Apple is bizarre though.
My FAVOURITE reviewer is back! Now 3 2 1 here comes all the negative comments 😂
I agree. He's good. I just don't get why all the hate towards him? Very uncalled for I have to say.
alex32009 isn’t that what Journalists do !
He isn't bad by any means. Except when he obviously get paid to talk bad about some cars in the past.
What a shame the XF Sportbrake in Britain doesn’t get the option of the 375bhp supercharged V6 petrol... ☹️
I’m I the only who thinks it looks better than the normal XF
Definitely not. The estate makes the XF's body look more muscular and i'm not a fan of the Volvo S40's quarter window on the XF sedan.
I completely agree. It looks absolutely stunning in this form. First estate, after Audi's RS4, that I find good looking.
Not in black though.

I am too
Your comment at 4:03 is incorrect. Not every XF comes with that size screen. It is an optional extra. It is also very easy to use on the move. Easier and more straightforward than the BMW or Mercedes. I have driven all three and the Jaguar is a better car all round in my personal opinion. That's why i now own one.
Sir Never Wrong if you are talking touchscreens then I get you but the I drive controlling dial is the best in class in my particular opinion
James is the best reviewer on this channel, good left of field opinions.
A great video, even Carwow didn't get their hands on this car yet. British engineering is just, amazing. My dream cars are this one and a Range Rover. Keep up the good work ! You deserve your followers.
Totally unbiased review of a British car by a British channel. Nonetheless a fine piece of machinery.
This guy is getting better and better in every new review.
Why is the V6 diesel only available with rear wheel drive, unlike the higher powered 2.0 diesel which can be had with all-wheel drive?
Probably not enough space with the larger V6 engine.
wow... a car like this gets its door pockets reviewed, and not a word about how it handles!
sequentialgear
Exactly... think car journalists reviews wrong things....
when you buy a car you mostly don’t care about door pockets, storage places in the cabin or what material they use down near your foots... you care about how the car handles, motor, fuel economy, boot space, rear seats space etc...
Please get the numbers on the screen. Especially when there are so many of them.
Looks stanced and muscular
Now lets put a SC 5 liter V8 in this car damn it.
I still love it so beautiful
Good review thanks
I still wonder how would Kia Optima Station wagon fare in US market?? Really really a sweet car that would be. I really want Kia to bring a bit upped version of Optima in station wagon form, something like VW Golf Alltrack.
We have just brought a 2019 Xf Sportbrake with 40k. It is in perfect condition except for when we are on a bumpy road the sportbrake gets a little loud or "nervous" I hear the bumps. Did you noticed the same when doing the test? I.e. ist that just part of the suspension?
Thinking of getting one - how’s it been for you so far? Would you recommend? Surprised how much cheaper they are compared to the Volvo and BMW rivals.
I never see any new XF'S on the road anymore it's always just those daft crossovers everyone seems to be buying for some reason!
Great car.
Boot has 565 litres on offer . That's less than a VW Golf let alone a Passat or Skoda Superb.
V6 diesel in sedan is awesome. Got to be better in a wagon !
Woo fancy camera work!
I've said this once before,but still I have to say this again.I hate him because he scratches every single car he touches.. it's not a big deal.. it's his personal choice that he wants the interior of every car just like he wants..ie.every nook Nd cranny should be leather..it is annoying man..stop this ..or atlest try to reduce the frequency of the word "Scratchy" in ur sentences.
Good review as always, James.
Jaguar growls at it’s Teutonic competition. I don’t care about it’s quirks, if the rear center armrest is too low, stick in a copy of The Game of Thrones under it. Want and need it.
Good real world review, thanks. Sadly, this car has no chance in the USA. Obese people prefer to step UP to enter a vehicle, as with an SUV, then step DOWN when exiting. And for the price, they could get a Lincoln for the same money, which is one-third larger. Do the math.
The reviewer's conclusion matches mine: stunning looks, tons of storage, and a top notch driving experience put this car at the top of my want-to-have list. But being retired, I’ll have to press on with my elderly XJR, so I really can’t complain.
Who is bigger, XF or XE?
The XF is the bigger car. It competes with the 5 series, A6, E class etc - the midsize exec class. The XE competes with the 3 series, A4, C class etc - the compact exec class
Btw on my channel I have made an F1 vs F2 vs GP3 sound comparison with footage that I took myself at Silverstone. I would love it if you could check it out and hopefully sub if it was good :) thanks in advance!
That sponsored Mini video reminds me of Chevrolet "Real people" commercials..
The exterior styling is fantastic. The interior leaves a lot to be desired.
Great Video Review. The Jaguar XF Is a great alternative to the leading German Brands
Very James. JAMES
A black press car. Come on Jaguar.
it looks fantastic but how about the engine
oh boy, a Jaguar minivan
No ,a station wagon 😃
Keep Jaguar out of SUV toxic.
His vioce is so iratating
So's your typing.
Jag is the best
Anyone know what watch he is wearing ?
Argos, Elizabeth Duke!
Omega Seamaster I think
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Shame about JAG plummeting build quality .
Looks like a funeral car I prefer the sedan
Jaguars attract ideology buyers. Without the badge, who would buy JLRs outdated output?
I would rather compare it with A4, C estate even Passat
Too much filters on these videos
Boss
The mini clubman video 🤔 is that a joke.
I find the interior looks cheap for the price also the steering wheel looks out of proportion
This car has the same problem as every other current Jag besides the I-Pace, a horribly ghastly dull interior.
Jaguar seem to have spent a lot of time and money to storm into 5th place. Comparison to 5 series or e class seem out of place. The Superb or Kia Optima seem natural competition.
Only at Geneva show earlier this year, Frankfurt show last year, at an event at Gaydon and a few times at various shows over the years. I have driven them twice along with the FType and FPace in their current forms. I have also run (recently) 535 BMW, V90 & XC60 Volvo, A6 allroad and E400 Mercedes. I have a rough idea what I am talking about. I also have a good idea about where my Jaguar and Land Rover dealers are due to the amount of recall/ warranty work they need.
sexy sexy vehicle
Looks like a hearse in black with blacked out rear windows.
Carwow is better
MAT AND HIS CUTE FRECKLES?
@@MICHGO1 yep
Really poor compared to the e-class. The e-class is simply the best estate currently on the market. I’ve had 3 jags and 3 mercs, mercs every time from now on.
E class is great car but Jag has something special in it. Personally I prefer the interior of previous generation of XF. Anyway, everyone can find something what suits them since we have so many cars in this segment.
Jag drives better than the Merc.
Jag drives the best in this segment. Even better than 5 series.
surely the Renault 25 or the Volvo 780 are the best in this class
You can always buy equipped skoda superb estate. Poor's man S-class.
Image quality is horrendous
It's fine for god's sake, you don't need a bloody 4K video for a car review. Does Carwow do that much better then Carbuyer ? I think not. And don't forget Mat Watson left Carbuyer. You only care about one guy, not very cool of you.
we have a 2017 xf 35t and the technology is terrible... infotainment takes minutes to start working, no carplay, super slow bluetooth audio, no siri eyes free, etc... not even 10k miles and it already has rattles
Bought a brand new XF in 2016. Within weeks, problems started to surface. There were about 8 to 9 problems which include inability to register and retrieve address from the map system, blue screen for the center console, spoilt rear (reverse) camera, air conditioning not cold, moldy seat belt and multiple cabin rattling sounds. For each problem, I had to go to the service center 2 to 3 times to finally fix 1 problem. I also needed to leave the car for few days to a week on several occasions. It was a nightmare and this lasted for about 9 months. The worst were cabin rattling sounds. So difficult to detect the faults especially they were not consistent. I wanted to return the car but the dealer refused saying that it was not bad enough (e.g. not like the engine blown up). Drove me mad. Who on earth want to spend so much money to get oneself this type of torture. Till today, slightly more than 2 years, new rattling sound and squeaky brake surfaced. There is a market saying now, “You can’t spoil a Toyota and you can’t fix a Jaguar”. This is how bad the reputation of JLR is. I don’t understand why they don’t replace the CEO to a German or Japanese. This really tarnish the attitude and workmanship of British and Indian.
The JLR CEO is German.
my 3k miles golf has rattles!
I see only non-sponsored videos can allow us to comment, but if they are sponsored we have to stay quiet. I wonder why?
Very disappointing car .
For the price,way better options available.
Why? I just got one two weeks go and fall in love with it. Prove me wrong
This guy gives me the creeps
Why?
So, the other guys gives you a hardon?
Damn that sponsored video before this was so cringe and boring. Besides everyone already loves the clubman...
All of their saloons will become half baked from now on. Just like the ford mondeo with a jaguar bodykit age.
Looks like a 90ies car.
Deutschland Ober alles 🙋🏻♂️💪
Why don’t Volvo, BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar just put their heads together, build an “ideal” car and save us all some headache
Next to land rover, least reliable car brands
VW. You forget to remember
Renan Silva comment on topic, the subject is jaguar
Driver Power Review 2018 Best Manufacturers list:
7th Land Rover
10th Jaguar
18th Audi
20th Mercedes
21 BMW
Lots of reasons for JLR’s big jump up the ratings in the last two years, one of which is improved reliability. Audi and BMW have been dropping for some time but no one thinks of them as unreliable (apart from my mate who is fed up with his ‘BMTroubleyou’).
MrPeterthepilot only stupid like you belive this survey!
Another great car review ruined by the presenter :)
Why watch then???
Anthony Deas who said i did watch it ...
who said i did watch it ... i click the video see the guy then pause the video and leave a comment of my opinion then thumb it down and then i thought about un-subbing :)
@@GJCanave it was where you said great review.. That's I thought u watched it... Its kind of what you said..... If u didn't watch it how do you it was great?? 😉🙄
Anthony Deas it's CarBuyer they have an exceptional standard when it comes to writing quality and video production quality... just a shame this guy had to be in this channel too ... xD its always like this... he ruins a good youtube channel ... like car wow or auto express or where ever he has worked at hehehe
It is dated, the design is flawed...also how do you make using a touch screen in a car legal, but a mobile phone illegal?
Jaguar's styling looks so outdated and boring. And that non-symmetrical steering wheel is just hideous.
It's too expensive and unreliable
