The Jaguar XF isn’t long for this world, with the brand phasing out its older saloon cars as it prepares for an electrified future. That’s a shame, because despite being around since 2015, the XF remains a fine car, and one that has improved quite a bit over time, while offering excellent value compared to its predominantly German rivals.
It’s flown a little under the radar, and there’s not quite the breadth of choice you get with a 5 Series or E-Class, but the XF’s ride and handling balance is perfectly judged for UK roads and in the right specification, they’re a pleasure to drive. Read on to find out more about the best models to buy.
Whether you’re an existing fan of the brand or simply want something a little different from the mainstream premium saloons, the Jaguar XF could be worth a look. While it doesn’t have the enormous model range offered by some rivals, it remains an impressive car, and what already seemed great value when new is even more appealing as depreciation kicks in.
The XF is handsome for a start, just like its smaller counterpart the XE. It’s at its best on larger alloy wheels, and unlike some other cars, opting for the fashionably larger options don’t harm the ride quality as much as you’d expect - all the better since the XF already rides so well, dealing with poor surfaces with more grace than some similarly-sized saloons and SUVs.
XFs handle well too, with a fluid feel that makes them a pleasure to drive whether you’re navigating a country road, cruising down the motorway or cutting through town. Earlier XFs offered a mix of four- and six-cylinder engines, and while it was a shame to lose the expensive-feeling (and sounding) sixes at the car’s mid-life refresh in 2021, the XF did improve in other ways at that facelift, particularly in its interior quality and its infotainment - so these later models are well worth a look.
The Jag’s closest competitors include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class - a tough trio if ever there was one. All three have a higher-tech feel than the Jaguar and a much wider model range, and still offer six-cylinder engines for extra prestige. You could argue the Jaguar looks smarter and is more rewarding to drive than any of them however. As a left-field alternative, the Lexus GS and newer Lexus ES could be an option, thanks to their reputation for quality and long-term reliability.
We think it’s best to keep things simple with the XF, and do what buyers have done for years with big, prestigious saloons: a smooth automatic gearbox and a punchy diesel engine. Among earlier cars that means the 2.0d with 180PS, and from 2021-on the XF D200. Both get from 0-62mph in the seven-second range and have enough in reserve to feel relaxed at motorway speeds, yet return economy in the 50s.
If you want your XF to feel as expensive as it looks though, it might be worth looking at one of the V6 models offered earlier in the model’s life - the 300PS V6 diesel is swift and frugal, while the supercharged V6 petrol makes some fantastic noises. The lower-end Prestige and R-Dynamic S trims are well equipped and should suit most buyers, but there’s definitely a more luxurious feel to Portfolio or R-Dynamic HSE models.
It’s fair to say that all Jaguar XFs are well-equipped, however far down the range you’re shopping, but post-2020 models are the best of the bunch, as Jaguar updated several features including the infotainment system. The XF was fantastic value when new and that value proposition carries across to used models too.

The Jaguar XF’s boot size is:
If you’re looking at an XF registered prior to April 2017, then some models will cost very little to tax indeed - the most frugal diesels as little as £20 a year, though the V6 petrol won’t be so cheap. Still, most post-April 2017 XFs will cost even more, thanks to the surcharge applied to cars that cost more than £40,000 to buy brand new. That means a yearly bill of £600 for the 2024/2025 tax year, applicable until the car’s seventh year on the road. The few that sneak below that £40k barrier will be subject to a lower £190 fee.
Jaguar XF insurance may be a little more than some rivals, at least at the lower end of the range, with a basic XF D200 starting in group 35, and the P300 rising to group 38. For comparison, the outgoing BMW 5 Series starts in group 28 - though with some high-performance models in the range that Jaguar had no equivalent for, cars like the 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class do get more expensive to insure further up the range.
