Jaguar XF saloon
reviewed by Carbuyer

The Jaguar XF is everything a top British luxury car should be – great to look at and even better to drive, combining sportiness with high levels of comfort and luxury. It's also helped Jaguar regain its position in the car industry and is easily one of the best executive cars money can buy. The XF is refined and well equipped, with a wonderfully detailed leather-trimmed interior that stands out from the darker, moodier cabins of many BMWs and Audis, even though there isn’t much room in the back for rear passengers. Jaguar have expanded the previously limited range to now include a smaller, more efficient diesel engine that should be very popular with both private and company car buyers. Also, supercharged XFR and high-performance V8 petrol models offer incredible performance for fairly reasonable fuel economy. The 2.2-litre diesel engine is the best, while the 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol is terrific – if you can afford to run it.
