Description
One day, cars like this will disappear. One day you won't be able to walk into a dealership and buy a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 Jaguar. Today, you still can.
And every time you press that starter button, you'll remember exactly why people fell in love with big-engined Jaguars in the first place. Let's get the sensible bits out of the way...
- The road tax is £790 a year.
- Drive it as Jaguar intended and it'll happily return single-figure MPG.
- Drive it sensibly and we've managed 20+ MPG... although that's missing the point a little.
- It's had a back box delete, so it sounds exactly as a V8 should.
- It also has an intermittent engine management light. It comes and goes as it pleases and hasn't affected how the car drives during our ownership, but we'd rather tell you now than let you find out later. Do you need a 380bhp luxury Jaguar V8? Absolutely not. But that's never been the point. If you're looking for sensible, there are plenty of 2.0 diesels out there. If you're looking for something that makes you take the long way home, drop a gear just to hear the noise, and puts a smile on your face every time you press the starter button... this might just be the one. We've loved every minute of owning it, but it's time for someone else to enjoy one of the last great naturally aspirated V8 luxury saloons. It will come with a fresh 12 months' MOT, a full service, and we'll also be fitting new front discs and pads before it leaves us. It drives exactly as it should - no unwanted noises, pulls like a train, and for the money you'll struggle to find anything that goes this well and sounds this good. We've priced this car significantly below normal retail value and are selling it as a clearance vehicle. Mechanically, we're very happy with it, but we'd rather price it honestly than spend time chasing perfection. The bodywork is generally very good, although it does have a few cosmetic imperfections as you'd expect. Unfortunately, there's very little documented service history. We have the original book pack, just not the paperwork to go with it. Despite all of that, it hasn't missed a beat during our ownership. Two keys. Part exchange welcome. Any inspection welcome. Serious test drives encouraged.
About the Jaguar Xf
Why Buy the Jaguar XF?
The Jaguar XF offers a compelling blend of executive saloon luxury, engaging driving dynamics, and distinctive British styling. It's a car that can effortlessly transition from motorway cruising to spirited B-road Bashing, all while cocooning its occupants in a premium environment. If you're looking for an alternative to the predictable German rivals, the XF presents a stylish and often more engaging option. Its executive proportions and upmarket interior materials provide a sense of occasion, while its chassis tuning delivers a rewarding experience behind the wheel. Whether you opt for a refined diesel for long-distance efficiency or a potent petrol for a sportier feel, the XF generally offers a comfortable and refined ride, making it an excellent choice for both commuting and longer journeys.

Specifications
The Jaguar XF has been offered with a range of engines and specifications over the years. Key aspects include:
- Engines: Primarily 2.0-litre diesel (common), 3.0-litre V6 diesel, 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol, 3.0-litre V6 petrol, and supercharged V8 options in performance variants.
- Transmission: Manual gearboxes were available on earlier models, but most XFs feature automatic transmissions (6-speed, 8-speed, or 9-speed depending on generation and engine).
- Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive is standard, with some models offering all-wheel drive.
- Body Styles: Predominantly saloon, with an estate (Sportbrake) version available for both generations.
- Body Construction: Both generations utilise a significant amount of aluminium for a lighter and stiffer chassis.
Common Issues
While generally reliable, some common issues can arise with the Jaguar XF:
- Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) problems: Especially on short-journey vehicles, DPFs can become clogged.
- Water ingress: Early models could be susceptible to water leaks into the cabin, particularly around the sunroof and windscreen.
- Electrical gremlins: Like many modern cars with complex electronics, occasional glitches can occur, affecting infotainment or other systems.
- Suspension components: Wear and tear on bushes and dampers can lead to knocks or a less composed ride over time.
- Timing chain wear: On some petrol engines, particularly with high mileage and infrequent servicing, timing chain issues can arise.
Always ensure a comprehensive service history is available.
Running Costs
Running costs for the XF are competitive within its class but can vary depending on engine choice and usage:
- Fuel Economy: Diesels generally offer excellent economy, with the 2.0D variants often achieving over 50mpg. Petrol engines will be less frugal.
- Road Tax: Varies significantly based on CO2 emissions, which depend on the specific engine and year. Newer models, especially with smaller diesel engines, can be more tax-efficient.
- Insurance: As a premium vehicle, insurance costs are typically higher than for mainstream hatchbacks.
- Servicing: Main dealer servicing can be expensive, so independent Jaguar specialists are often a more cost-effective option.
Variants
Over its lifespan, the Jaguar XF has been offered in numerous trims and with specialised variants:
- Standard Trims: Typically named SE, Luxury, Premium Luxury, R-Sport, Portfolio, and S, each offering increasing levels of equipment and sportiness.
- Performance Models: The XF S (often with the 3.0-litre V6 diesel) and the supercharged V8 variants (XFR, XFR-S) offer significantly enhanced performance.
- Sportbrake: The estate version provides extra practicality for those needing more load space.
- Ingenium Engines: Later models feature Jaguar's modern Ingenium range of more efficient petrol and diesel engines.
