  • Today I’m showcasing a Jaguar XF 2.2L diesel.
    I will be uploading a longer video where I show you around both the inside and the outside of the car in more detail shortly…

    I want one soooo much. Still have a 2.2D X-Type, for about 10 years now, and it is an all-time favourite - much under-rated by Bavarian fan-boy motoring journalists.

      I do hope that you manage to find one you like. There are some good (and affordable ones) out there. Make sure you search online for low mileage vehicles, and you will come across a good one (this car is 10 years old and I think it still looks like new) 😀

    The 2.2 is the best diesel saloon you can buy cheap from reliability and drive perspective. I am comparing with the f10, w212, audi etc. This engine is a PSA unit with belt and is tough as nails.

    Disconnect the engine stop start, It's the work of the devil. This model of XF is the best sedan they ever made, especially with the larger engines.

    Seems to be a lot of good positive reviews on the XF diesel 2 litre. But the 3 litre diesel seems a better choice with little loss in economy and a lot of positives.. especially the XF portfolio S model. Good economy luxury in trim and gadgets.. power exceptional and low road tax for a luxury saloon. Cost to purchase used models much the same...why choose the 2.2?

      @@mabaker7155 this is not what most engineers and testers state. Of course a large modern engine is going to be complex and that one in particular had an enormous amount of research in it's development. It's praised for being a good engine. I think you can find fault in any type of engine. On top of that many with individual past bad experiences tend to jump on the bandwagon and generalize a lot thinking all are the same. Regular maintenance this engine will easily do 250,000 miles without major faults. You will get the same negativity about Mercedes and BMW diesels across the internet.

      This probably wouldn’t be a good idea in that case if you enter the ULEZ zone regularly, or live within it. I live 200 miles away from London so it’s not something that I personally would need to consider at the moment however there are so many more factors to consider if living within or near the ULEZ zone.

      Well, they are two different types of cars when you come to drive them. The XF provides a firmer ride and the seats are firmer to sit on.
      In my view, it’s very hard to beat the refinement of the x308. But I’m somewhat biased.
