That interior is incredible now! Sad no new Jag’s will be coming untill 2025 but hopefully this holds strong. Still unusual they ditched the 6 cylinder option
First time I've ever heard anyone being 'surprised' that a Jaguar handles well and has good ride quality. It's Jaguar's forte - always has been and hopefully always will be. Great review 👍.
I bought 2017 XE 35t as my first car after saving up for a couple of years post graduation. The interior isn’t something to write home about but the rest is pretty damn spectacular: All aluminum responsive chassis, double wishbone at the front and “integral link” multi-link rear suspension, a supercharged V6 under the hood, ZF 8-speed transmission and steering rack, and finally an Ian Callum design that calls onto the E-type with rear headlights and an overall curved design. It’s been more than 4 years of fuss-free ownership (only replaced the tyres after 3 years) and this car has ruined almost every other car in its segment for me with the way it drives and handles. Maybe except the Giulia which I didn’t get to test drive when I was in the market. With the new updated interior, I hope Jaguar sells well in North America. It’s a brand that carries history and heritage shared by a select few.
@@Dallas867 those are basically the only similarities. Different drivetrain for starters. These are rwd based platforms. They are a mix of luxury comfort with some sporting characteristics vs. the type r which is a performance focus (even if it can ride well). Different interior and design ethos (completely different). Etc.
@@Dallas867 The Jag is larger, is RWD-biased AWD instead of FWD, has a higher quality materials and construction on the interior, has less wind and road noise, is not meant to set lap records.
I'm happy you offer reviews of so many different cars, I get to see the entirety of the car since I will never be able to afford any of them or even see them irl
It’s such a fantastic looking car. It’s really a shame they don’t offer the JLR inline 6 as it would give this car the power and refinement it needs to be competitive.
With all this beauty I am really hopeful that they drop something beefy under the hood. They are putting money into EV and word is the Jaguar brand wants to go toe to toe with Aston Martin. You cannot do that without adding some serious Horses. I will buy this car eventually!
@Dennis D I agree with all your points without one, it isn't to small, xf had a v8 5.0 too, 6 cyl. need for the smoothness and for the prestige, not for the power!
One of the best looking sedans & it looks even better now with this refresh, especially inside, but the engines are very disappointing. Should have at least a 6-cylinder.
Yeah- I get why they did it…sedans in general are slow selling and Jaguar is already a niche brand. They ditched the XE in the US and now offer the XF in 4 cylinder only guise for 3 series money - so I guess they are going for the value play. But man, if they had put their sweet 6 cylinder in and maybe charged a few k more I think that woukd make the XF pretty hard to resist.
@@alh06 None of them are really selling, though. These underdog luxury Marques keep trying to waltz back into the market commanding German-car pricing without offering the German-car complete experience.
Friend of a friend has one of these and he gave me a ride. It was dark and the car was black so I didn’t pay much attention on the outside. When I was already in the car I asked “is this an Audi?” to which he responded “jaguar!!”. Pretty silly interaction
Respectfully, you have to pay nearly $70k for a similar configuration with an Audi S5 Sportback. BMW and Mercedes are similar/higher. $62,000 is a bargain here if you want a spirited drive and not breaking the bank.
@@justinlowe337 I would argue the base XF is an Audi A4 and BMW 330i competitor as they are similar in price and are saloons. The R-Dynamic would be an S4 and M340i competitor in price as well. The XF has the best interior in my opinion, but its really underpowered compared to its competitors.
interior great! 60k for a 4 banger? It's not a good look for merc, bmw, audi, porsche or jag to do this. Want to make a 4 banger loss leader - no problem. Specing these up like this betrays what a Jaguar is supposed to be. Space, grace, pace. That middle one is getting blown up by blown 4 bangers.
Really remind me of my Ford Fusion Titanium AWD from 2014....which is not a bad thing I really like the car but the sound system was Sony which exploded and I had to get the replaced under warranty... so they never got replaced....FORD know for not honouring their warranties..... Its like Ford Fusion was the economy car, Lincoln MKZ was the Premium/Luxury, and Jaguar XF was the Luxury/Sport of that very similar make vehicle... that is if the Jaguar was not a Ford Fusion's chassis it was and is very similar to it if not imported from it. If I get a car of that caliber again it will be the Jaguar version since Ford no longer make the Fusion... I think the MKZ is still around though.
There is literally nothing similar about the chassis of the XF to the Fusion, this is a RWD platform. Ford sold Jaguar way before your Fusion was even developed. And the MKZ is no longer sold. You are completely wrong
Hey topher how was the suspension comfort compared to the regular xf this has a Sport suspension also did your tester come with the adaptive suspension
As a disabled guy with pain issues, I need a sedan that is super comfortable and easy to use. If the seats were more 80s luxury style, I’d love it. I’m not crazy about what Jag and every other cars are doing with their front ends, going rounded like the Asian imports instead of boxy and classy, but if they went back to their XJR styling, had a smooth V8 or V12 (it’s not all about power) and had plusher seats it would be perfect. Save the planet? For who? The same people who mock the way I walk? Forget the kids and give me my real luxury car!
If all car makers are slapping a tablet in the cabin and call it a day, why couldn't they make a modular connection, so we can put our own iPads on it ? At least we can update it whenever we want and take it with us to offices/classes
Jaguar need to fire their marketing department. This car has a plushness and drive ability which is matched only by the 5 series yet they are not up there with the 5 series. That is solely due to the rubbish investment/performance in marketing. Jaguar doesn’t even come up on the minds of people who consider this category of car.
that thin bezel infotainment screen is literally the best thing ever. but then we got ugly electric Mercedes where the bezels are miles thick because the entire dashboard is the bezel
Long history of coolant problems. Anyone believe they have finally fixed this in 2021? 1st and last time owner of a Jag, sorry to say. Once burned... their dealer network is the most corrupt and overpriced network of all major auto makers. 1st hand experience talking here
Did you literally say a car that has been NERFED to a 4 cylinder engine with WAY less HP for $50K was a PRETTY GOOD PLACE TO BE? You young kids need to go back to school and take a Economics class! LOL. AND OMG THIS THING SOUNDS HORRIBLE!
That interior is incredible now! Sad no new Jag’s will be coming untill 2025 but hopefully this holds strong. Still unusual they ditched the 6 cylinder option
Just order it if you want one! 🙂
Feeling proud to be the owner of Last TypeS V6 3.0T engine ... Bad kitty
@rickyanthony Well I mean that's where I live and that's how I custom ordered my 2022 Jag SF R-Dynamic SE and received it.
First time I've ever heard anyone being 'surprised' that a Jaguar handles well and has good ride quality. It's Jaguar's forte - always has been and hopefully always will be.
Great review 👍.
I was just looking at one of these and was like, hopefully topher has reviewed one, let’s check!

Great car and fantastic engine. One of the better handling modern cars I’ve driver.
@@Dallas867 completely different cars dude.

its like a range rover interior for a saloon its brilliant

@@alh06 Did they ever use the inline 6 in the XF? Anyway, seems they’re putting all efforts into LR.
@@icculus No, it was a V6 supercharged engine.
A beautiful car that CRIES for that new 3.0L Inline 6 MHEV used on the F-paces and Range Rovers.
Jaguar always come with unique design which is mostly hand made. Great looking interior, exterior and comfort for daily driving
cool mentioning more comfort details like the wheel, armrests, etc
With all this beauty I am really hopeful that they drop something beefy under the hood. They are putting money into EV and word is the Jaguar brand wants to go toe to toe with Aston Martin. You cannot do that without adding some serious Horses. I will buy this car eventually!
The engine makes me sad. They should've left other options on the table. The interior is a nice improvement.
The interior looks good! Great video nonetheless !!
If they’d make the mild hybrid Ingenium inline 6 an option I’d have one faster than you can say “but the reliability tho”
Amazing interior, only the screen if will be integrated, it would be much cooler!
4 cylinder only? for a jaguar?

They had a 6 cylinder before this refresh but it didn’t sell

@@DisneyMusicVideos That supercharged V6 was a nice engine. Sounded good and was pretty good on torque.

Looks like a fun drive. Beautiful car
A 4 cylinder in a jaguar?!?!
What's the point😥
Give me a not so dependable v12 or v8 any day.
That apple carplay is huge
I love centered symmetrical infotainment systems
Bit of an odd shifter but I dig it

Yeah, you can get a twin turbo v6 or NA v8 for less than this... it's sad really.
Exactly! At 62k you have an incredible variety of more powerful engines it’s ridiculous.

An Inline 6 would be really nice in this....
Awesome Happy Holidays🎄
Does this drive better than the stinger
Honestly,I see myself working for this option.

Check out any Volvo from the last ten years if you have chronic pain.
seems like they took some ques from volvo especially that steering wheel
Despite all the flak, there will be people who want a special sedan that is not the ubiquitous German premium. And they'll pick this Jag.
2:49 VW Passat 2007 called, he wants his "fanciness" back.
FR u acted surprised somehow.
love this car ❤️😍😍😍
Poor Jag. They don't have any identity now.
Cars like these are dying from SUV’s😫. I would take this over a Mercedes E class or BMW 5 series anyday
You're exactly right! Other than the names these newest Jag sedans have been amazing! Some people just have zero taste
Nice job bro, how do you get access to so many cars?? I would like to have a job like that, cheers!!
I’m debating on getting either an xe or Xf
Jaguar 💥
Baffles me how a Jaguar can have a 4 cylinder engine. And WHY WONT THEY RE DESIGN A NEW XFR/ XJR
well it's all to EU co2 emmitions, you either make electric cars that will cover your 6 cylinder and V8 cars, or you have to go downsizing
Jaguar are nice cars
All that real estate and Jaguar gave its customers that small reverse camera..lord have mercy Jaguar!
I have a 2017 XE the exterior looks like mine
3:31 Yeah but how many *Fantom* wallet's can it fit?
*Fantom wallets!

$60,000 for only 296 hp? 8(
Let the petrol heads rule!
Good god, it sounds like a diesel at idle.
Price is alright for what it is, too bad it's a Jaguar so it'll crap out after the warranty is up.
Ở Việt Nam xe này khá ế
RIP the V6 supercharged.

Gorgeous sedan! Could do with a supercharged V8 though.....
Jag you are
Awesome car but 2.0 Jag… ffs

Cannot stand 1 minute ago
Sounds like my vax
Boring exterior, nice interior, bad reliability.
These are lame I'll take my 2009 supercharged V8 over this 😂😂 chrome lamb leather and wood
