For This may be the weaker of the two 3.0-litre diesel engines in the XF, but it's still more than up to the job and capable of almost 45mpg. A Bowers and Wilkins stereo comes as standard.

Against You have to put with slightly less performance than with the stronger diesel engine - and without the attraction of better fuel economy. Not as economical as the 2.2.

For us, this engine provides the ideal blend of power, refinement and purchase and running costs. However, save yourself a few quid and go for Luxury trim.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

As you might expect of a former What Car? Car of the Year, there’s not much to criticise. It’s a little disappointing that the 2.2-litre diesel versions aren’t a little bit cleaner, but they're the cheapest XF models to buy and run. Even so, we'd still point you in the direction of the 3.0D V6 - its epic pace and superb refinement suit the XF perfectly, and it’s cheaper than the more powerful S version.

Prices may look a little on the high side, but this is largely explained by the generous equipment list. Even the entry-level SE model comes with part-leather upholstery and an automatic gearbox, while the next rung on the ladder – Luxury – is so well kitted that there’s no need to go any higher.

There’s a huge range of options available, including a rear-view camera and adaptive cruise control. You can also choose from a particularly wide selection of exterior colours and interior trim.
