Enter the cabin, for example, and you see an ignition button that pulses red like a heartbeat press it, and a rotary shift dial rises from the center console. Like its predecessor, the 2016 XF stands out for the emotional impact it delivers. Last year's XF had a wide range of engines, though, and Jaguar says reinforcements are on the way for the new model, including a frugal turbodiesel four-cylinder alongside a gasoline-powered turbo-4. Still, those aforementioned German rivals offer numerous powertrain choices, so the XF will initially be at a disadvantage. Not surprisingly, there's plenty of performance on tap, but you also get a solid 30 mpg on the highway with rear-wheel drive. The redesigned 2016 Jaguar XF stays close to the strong and purposeful design of the previous model.Īnother carryover piece of the puzzle is the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, which comes in two strengths for 2016 - one with 340 horsepower and the other with 380. One part that hasn't changed much is the exterior styling, but with a nip here and a tuck there, Jaguar has subtly enhanced what was already an eye-catching shape. Underneath, the XF is now made primarily out of aluminum, which means it's lighter and, consequently, more fuel-efficient. Although it's roughly the same size on the outside as before, this second-generation XF has more interior space due to its longer wheelbase. The shopping process for a midsize luxury sedan typically starts with the German contingent, but the redesigned 2016 Jaguar XF provides a refreshingly British change of pace. I don't see anything else out there I'd rather be driving. 9/21 five+ years/31K miles with the Jag, and I like it even more, and still no problems. 9/19 I've been getting more compliments on the car lately, and I continue to enjoy it, slick and quick.
JAGUAR XF R FREE
Update 3/19: It's almost three years since I got my XF, and it hasn't needed any attention beyond than the free annual service visits. I only wish I'd known about and waited for the wagon version. The Adaptive Dynamics are worth it, tightening up if needed, comfortable ride if not. Buy the XF for yourself, for its capabilities, ride quality, and confident feel. Yeah, the interior is a bit understated, design changes from the prior model are minimal, they could have put a few more bucks into the carpeting. Stop/start (on all cars now?) complaints are invalid it's never, not once been a factor at all, and there's a button four inches from your thigh if a situation concerns or bugs you in start/stop traffic. Mine is the 6cyl, mileage is great as long as I'm not in the mood to drive it too aggressively. It feels so very tight, quick, and nimble. Other than a quickly resolved transmission issue at delivery, the R-Sport I purchased has been problem-free, back to the dealer only for the free annual services, which I enjoyed paying $0.00 for. and it can just as quickly be confidently flung around like the sports sedan it is. I like my Jag's ability to comfortably ease on down the road, eating up the highway.
