2023 Jaguar XF price and specs

The low-volume Jaguar XF is the latest member of the big cat brand to get a 300 Sport variant.

It replaces the P300 R-Dynamic HSE as the lone variant in the local XF range, and is priced at $115,360 before on-road costs – up $8984 on the model it replaces.

Though it uses the same 221kW/400Nm turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine as the R-Dynamic HSE, there are various visual tweaks like a standard black exterior pack and 20-inch silver/gloss black-finish alloy wheels.

Other additions to the standard equipment list include adaptive suspension, satin chrome paddle shifters, wireless phone charger, and heated front seats with 16-way power adjustment.

Some equipment has been moved to the option list, like the 12-inch digital instrument cluster, while the safe-exit warning function and wearable Activity Key, the latter of which allows you to unlock the car without the actual key, have been removed entirely.

The XF 300 Sport has the same outputs as the smaller XE 300 Sport, which also comes standard with all-wheel drive and is the last man standing in its once larger model range.

The E-Pace and F-Pace SUVs also come in 300 Sport and 400 Sport guise.

To the end of August, Jaguar has sold just 11 XFs in Australia, putting it behind the likes of the Audi A7 (61 sales), Genesis G80 (55 sales) and Mercedes-Benz CLS (35 sales), let alone the A6/5 Series/E-Class trio that dominate this admittedly shrinking segment.

While in its home market of the UK the XF is also offered with a wagon body style and a turbo-diesel engine, the local range has consisted of just one variant since the facelifted model arrived early last year.

With the update, Jaguar dropped all rear-wheel drive, diesel, six-cylinder and wagon variants in favour of a single turbo four-cylinder sedan with all-wheel drive.
