Jaguar XF S 2015 review - AutoExpress
Most people - especially cost-conscious company car drivers - will opt for the new 2/0-litre diesel XF because of its impressively low running costs. But for those who have a little more cash to splash and don't need to worry so much about fuel and tax bills, the 3. 0-litre TDV6 is a brilliant addition to the range. While Jaguar’s new XE is getting all the column inches and flashy TV adverts at the moment, the British brand knows the larger XF is where its reputation is at stake. Well, although the XE was always going to be a big step up from the X-Type, the new XF has to replace a car that arguably created the modern-day Jaguar. Behind all the ceremony of the XE’s launch, Jag’s engineers have been quietly hard at work taking all the good things that made the XF successful and steadfastly tweaking them. The car improves in all the areas you’d expect: it’s lighter thanks to new aluminium-intensive architecture shared with the XE, there’s a wealth of new tech and safety kit, it’s roomier and a range of new, more efficient engines also features. We sampled the powerful diesel in super-posh Portfolio trim (pictured), but in the UK, it can only be ordered in range-topping sporty S trim – joining the other racy S with a thumping 3. 0-litre supercharged V6 petrol engine from the F-Type.
