Some may complain that it’s a bit difficult to distinguish between the second generation Jaguar XF and the XE, but then that’s pretty much the case with most luxury sedan manufacturers at the moment – as each one tries to propagate their own family design philosophy.
What does stand out when you line up the German sedans and a Jaguar is, of course, the latter – with its swooping roofline, prominent bonnet bulge and its big aggressive grille with the growling Jaguar badge looking dead straight at you.
As eye-catching as the XF is from the outside, the cabin is slightly disappointing, as the material quality doesn’t quite match the German holy trinity. The 8-inch infotainment system gets a new interface, but it’s not as slick as a BMW, while the top-of-the-line XF gets a fully digital TFT display, but, again, its nowhere as awesome as Audi’s Virtual Cockpit. That said, the rotary gear knob still remains one of the most eye-catching features of the cabin.
The XF is beautiful, has adequate power, and it drifts as though that’s what it was born to do. So, if you want a striking luxury sedan that can put a smile on your face, both from the front seat as well as the rear bench, this is the sedan for you.
