I have one of these and it drives superbly. The supercharged power is addictive, the steering precise and the handling is the best of any car I have owned (including four BMWs). I know you said it's not a proper review, but to get a fair commentary on a Jaguar you really have to drive the beast. They are designed and engineered for a dynamic driving experience.
What the XF does so well is it at the same time a relaxing and comfortable grand tourer AND an engaging driver's car when you hit a curvy country road. There's not many cars with that balance.
The coolest feature about this vehicle are those AC vents. But imagine you’re in ME and way too hot Climate and the computers fail all of a sudden 🥴. It won’t happen most probably hopefully 😆
This has to be one of the most mis informed reviews ever 😅 it's rivals are the E class , A6 etc , and it drives miles better than any of it's rivals at the price point
I love the looks of the XF but not that interior. They just introduced a faceliffted version with a much nicer interior (including an actual gearshift lever) plus the latest digital gauges and infotainment. This is actually 5 series sized and the smaller XE is their 3 series competitor. Unfortunately they only sell the 4 cylinder version now (abd they dropped the XE for the US atleast) :(. Like you said, most people are probably just going to get one of the Germans. If they’d dropped their supercharged v8 into this I’d seriously consider it
Cars aren’t what they used to be! Funny thing is it’s a German that can be blamed.. Klaus Schwab and his globalist climate BS initiatives. Go figure the Germans again
You can get as many g’s in any car you just keep your foot down? Seriously what are you thinking? The XF is going to go round a corner way faster than a Range Rover!
typical Americans. If I would be looking for a small sedan... yeah lets buy a F tank.. Car is awesome dude You do not need 500hp to drive to the shops to buy a milk...
@severnsea I’ve never actually owned either. Just had them for days on end. Ownership definitely could be a different thing. Glad you are enjoying yours though!
@@DrivenHard Fair comment. People want different things from a car too, no doubt most people prefer BMW but I think the Jaguar models are a lot better than most give them credit for and on their own merits easily compete with anything else in their class. I would say the XE is more comparable to the 3 series.
Thinking about change my 535 to this. My 535 is tuned to 460 heavily modified but i want to go to another brand to see. Saw one had 380hp. Same colour scheme. Im confuse thou. I see xfs with 340hp but then another one with 380hp. One is supercharge one is twin turbo. Can someone explain? Why both call s then
2016-2018 had the “35T” trim levels which had 340HP. 2016-2020 has the “S” trim which made 380HP. both models has the SAME torque (332 lb/ft). I live in USA so the numbers may be different from other parts of the world.
The S is (was) the top of the range sports model and comes with either the Supercharged V6 petrol 380 horsepower or the twin turbo V6 diesel 300 horsepower. Both great cars and pretty quick. The petrol is more lively but the diesel is more relaxed and more economic on fuel.
I know you're an American and famous for your destruction of the English language but there is no 'W' in the word Jaguar. It is not a 'Jag-war' - it is a 'Jag-u-ar', just as spelled. Thank you. 😉😉
@@DrivenHard As far as speaking English you have slightly less excuse as a Canadian IMHO. The US gained their independence a very long time ago. You are still part of the Commonwealth aren't you? 😀
I love how uneducated so many people are that they don’t understand people are from different parts of the world say words differently. Must be great living like that 🙄
@DrivenHard you sound pretty American bud. At the very least you pronounced every single thing else correctly with perfect American diction so it just stands out like crazy when you say jagwire lol. It's only two syllables, just pronounce it correctly
@DrivenHard oh. Well to be fair I did say you "sounded" American lol. But can you tell me how anyone got "jagwire" out of jaguar? Just changed the word for no reason lol
Agree, I don't know why they decided to make the tail Audi. Otherwise it's styled with it's own personality. The previous XF (X250) was a Jaguar from all angles
I think XE is the competitor for 3 series / A4. XF is 5/E.

Yup, just came back from a 150 mile trip. Jaguars are so fun to drive a bit harder.
how does it sound?
LOL - He called it a 'Jagwire', I was waiting for him to say 'JayLar' instead of JLR.
I agree, I hate those dial in shifters so much. I like driving with my palm resting on a stick shifter.
I have the same one bought it new in 16 and still only 41k mikes on it, love it though

You can choose to have them always open. I'd do that
Driven Hard really? That’s nice then.
Got one it's beautiful it's light and quick maintenance better than a BMW and Mercedes certain ones I had a infini q70 the Jaguar a slightly better
Honestly it has been more fun and engaging to drive then any other loaner car I ever had. I did quite enjoy it
Agree
Cool I have a Mercedes e350 I was wandering because I’m ready to trade it … and had my eye on this
This has to be one of the most mis informed reviews ever 😅 it's rivals are the E class , A6 etc , and it drives miles better than any of it's rivals at the price point
Looks beautiful, especially with light on!!! 😍😍😍👍
What yr is this model?
What is a jagwire? Lol!
😆😆😆
its like a porsh
Tojoda
Lmao
Thank you for saying. Its really irritating.
It’s either JAGwar or as the Brits say JAGyou are.
There’s something weird about the C pillar design. It looks a bit off
Bro tye xf is a family car . Dont know why everyone is thinking its a honda civic type r or m3 performence
Larger than those cars, but the earlier models had up to 5L Supercharged engine option.
I love the looks of the XF but not that interior. They just introduced a faceliffted version with a much nicer interior (including an actual gearshift lever) plus the latest digital gauges and infotainment.

I am really loving the new interiors that JLR is coming out with as well. The shifter feels so much better
Have one much bigger than a 5 series,, more comfortable to drive than that and e class, owned and drove both
I added aftermarket red metal gear shifters that fitted right over the stock ones for like 30 bucks
XF is the size of an A6 not an A4...
Nice car! 😉
I love this car ❤
Nice 👍and mk4 golf pd150 tdi tuned to 195, not a supercar but it is fun lol
0-60 5,3 seconds
5.1 seconds is more frequently quoted and I know a guy who got 4.9 seconds from a stock XF S Supercharged.
Mine feels plenty quick enough!
2012-2015 has the best exterior looks. The 2016+ has the better interior...
German cars are not what they used tobe

Im not saying you need 500hp. I’m saying the German makes these cars so much better then the British for this price range
also I’m Canadian eh 🇨🇦
@@DrivenHard still american
🤣🤣😂🤣
What year is that one?
2019 im guessing, can't remember
STOP saying "ON THE RANGE ROVER" you wouldn't compare a jeep cherokee to a Nissan maxima.
No cause those aren’t in the same family. But Jaguar and Land Rovers share lots of the same parts. So yes “on the Range Rover” makes perfect sense 😉
I’m really not a fan of the jag logo on the grill against that square clear plastic piece. And the silver coated rims better
It competes with 5 series and e class,, some car dealer,, ya don't know that
Then this is complete trash compared to a 5 series. Sad 😢
@@DrivenHard No chance. I owned 5 series before I bought the XF would never go back to the BMW. Each to his own but no comparison in my opinion.
@severnsea I’ve never actually owned either. Just had them for days on end. Ownership definitely could be a different thing. Glad you are enjoying yours though!

They are beautiful cars but they are unreliable.

It's being pronounced Ja-guar
@@DrivenHard As far as speaking English you have slightly less excuse as a Canadian IMHO. The US gained their independence a very long time ago. You are still part of the Commonwealth aren't you? 😀
Na it’s jag-war . We don’t give a bollacks about how you English fooks pronounce words .
Jag wire😅
Such a lack of knowledge
Why test this when u do not understand
I do not understand
First learn how to pronounce jaguar
I love how uneducated so many people are that they don’t understand people are from different parts of the world say words differently. Must be great living like that 🙄

But can you tell me how anyone got "jagwire" out of jaguar? Just changed the word for no reason lol
I don't like the looks of the jaguar
hate the rear lights
Agree, I don't know why they decided to make the tail Audi. Otherwise it's styled with it's own personality. The previous XF (X250) was a Jaguar from all angles
what year is this
Can’t remember. Guessing 2019 or 2020. It was brand new
