For The XF has stylish looks, a dramatic cabin, sensational handling, a supple motorway ride and great refinement.

Against Headroom is a little tight in the back, and the engines aren’t as clean or fuel-efficient as key rivals’.

XF Our pick

Jaguar XF Saloon 3.0D V6 Luxury 4dr

For us, this engine provides the ideal blend of power, refinement and purchase and running costs. Combined with Luxury trim, it's the best XF.

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 version isn’t a little bit cleaner, but it’s the cheapest XF 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.
