Jaguar XF News

Over the holiday weekend, reports that Jaguar had confirmed the construction of an XF Estate (wagon) emerged. Today, it's the hotter brother, the XFR, that gets the long roof treatment, again according to chief designer Ian Callum. This time around, Callum spoke with Dutch-language Autovisie, noting that the estate wasn't part of the original plan for the XF at all, but now that they've decided to make it, they're going whole-hog and dropping the 510-horsepower supercharged V-8 shared through many other vehicles in Jaguar's lineup, including the XFR Sedan. According to Callum, designing the...

The face of the Jaguar XF just got even more attractive with the unveiling of the 2012 model, in XFR trim, at the 2011 New York Auto Show. Doing away with the bulbous look of the previous XF's lights, and cleaning up some of the lines elsewhere, the new XF is very bit as iconic and now, cleaner and...

Today new stats on Jaguar's upcoming 2.2-liter diesel for the XF sedan have emerged. We've already seen the core details of the new engine--in late March, Jaguar released an official teaser of the oil-burner inside a thinly disguised "development mule." At the time we figured it was unlikely the engine would come to the U.S., and we still doubt it will--but a New York Auto Show unveiling at least raises the spectre of consideration for our market. At a whopping 52.2 mpg rating, according to Ward's Auto, the proposition would certainly be attractive to people looking for an efficient, yet...

It’s good to be a cop in the UK. While local law enforcement agencies get around in Chevrolets and Fords, across the pond they’re rolling in Jaguars. The first ever police-spec XF is about to go on patrol across the Midlands. The Central Motorway Police Group, which patrols highways across Staffordshire, Mercia and the West Midlands has bought seven high performance police vehicles based on the powerful, yet fuel efficient, Jaguar XF Diesel S. This particular model is only sold in the U.S. so for now we can only dream of its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel engine and 271 horsepower and...
