About the Jaguar XF
Last updated Dec 18, 2024These days Jag’s large passenger car comes in just one guise. There’s no longer options of rear drive, Sportback wagon, grade variation, diesels or any higher petrol cylinder count than four.
Rather than go out on a specification limb the XF ‘single spec’ is fairly safe: it seems Jag aimed for broad appeal. It eschews the old-school big-blown-V8 ethos that once made large Jaguar sedans charmingly different.
The sole survivor is an academically efficient two-litre turbo four run through all-wheel drive, seemingly aligning itself with Euro competitor trends. Nothing that new nor surprising here.
Pros
- Fetchingly upmarket cabin vibe
- Excellent Pivi Pro infotainment
- Some really neat interior design touches
Cons
- Silly cost options
- Frustrated powertrain
- Some strange interior design foibles

2023 Jaguar XF Exterior
There are various visual tweaks like a standard black exterior pack and 20-inch silver/gloss black-finish alloy wheels.
2023 Jaguar XF Interior
While subtly massaged on the outside, it’s the look and feel of the cabin where the facelifted XF sees its most conspicuous change. All new, Jaguar says, and to a large extent it feels it.
The two attention grabbers are the wheel and touchscreen. The tiller is ornate, deeply contoured and lovely to touch – it’s a significant improvement over the plainer unit it replaces, with its oddball off-centre horn cap.
It frames the digital display nicely: the screen crisp, clear and user configurable. There are a number of skins that subtly ape Audi’s Virtual Cockpit, if with a cumbersome adjustment interface.
2023 Jaguar XF Infotainment
The infotainment system is JLR’s whiz-bang high-grade Pivi Pro, with a resolution and configurable content design that’s downright beautiful to look at. It also has a lateral scrolling tiling format that’s quite intuitive to use.
The 360-degree camera display array, in particular, offers excellent clarity through multiple views, including the novel ‘floating camera’ perspective. Quick smartphone mirroring, embedded modems, Spotify, 4G connectivity… it’s a fair step up from the system it replaces and demanded new electronic architecture to facilitate.
But it’s the curved screen that’s inspired, such a seemingly minor detail in the grand fit-out, but one that brings a real classiness to the careful stylised upmarket cabin presentation.
The ClearSight rear camera in the rearview mirror, which is activated via a lever under the mirror housing, works a treat. The head-scratcher; though, is that the regular touchscreen reversing camera is good: it kind of makes the whole ClearSight concept of extra guidance a little superfluous.

How does the 2023 Jaguar XF drive?
Our expert take on Jaguar XF drivability.
The 2023 Jaguar XF is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 221kW of power and 400Nm of torque. It’s mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
It has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 6.1 seconds.
The XF plonks its 1819kg (before options) heft in the unenviable position of fitting the same engine as its cheaper, lighter and feistier mid-sized XE rear-driven stablemate.
No foul, but clearly one curbs expectation of outright sportiness, even given the R-Dynamic branding. In capacity terms at least, the XF doesn’t exactly instil confidence in the sort of long-legged laziness one might expect from big luxury motoring.
There is always a balance when meeting both sports and luxury expectations. In practice, the XF powertrain combination gets away with what it’s tasked to do.

Should you buy the 2023 Jaguar XF
Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.
The revised XF is a handsome machine that does entice more seductively with that new interior vibe and its largely excellent digital jewellery. There are a sprinkling of cabin functionality missteps though.
It has a somewhat safe and widely palatable specification aimed at luring more buyers to what has been, frankly, a fairly poor seller for the JLR camp.
Still, your only XF choice is now appreciably higher – around $18k – than what was offered in base trim prior. You also have to pry extra from the kitty for stuff such as inductive phone charging and rear privacy glass. At this tier of premium motoring this is, frankly, a bit rich.
In general, the XF returns a dignified enough user experience to meet many buyers’ upmarket expectations, but in many ways it does lack the sort of on-road polish it ought to offer.
In trying to be a somewhat frugal luxury cruiser, while also offering a bit of pulse-raising performance and dynamic gusto, it doesn’t really nail either discipline nor marries them together with all that much cohesion.
It’s great in areas, but not outstanding as an overall package.
