2016 Jaguar XF - Super 70 MPG Economy And Bags Of Style Too. This Cat Purrs! [Review] 

2016 Jaguar XF - Full review at www.redferret.net . For 2016 this new Jaguar XF has received a bodywork upgrade, not just in terms of its desirable lines but in its construction too, as it now benefits from weight saving aluminium. This shaves a claimed 190 kg off the weight of the XF when compared to its predecessor. When you combine this with efficient new diesel engines, it turns into one of the most efficient executive cars on the market. The CO2 emissions can be as low as 104 g/km and the fuel efficiency can be all the way up at the dizzying heights of 70 MPG (miles per gallon) if you specify the 2.0 litre diesel engine with manual gearbox. For those who feel a manual Jaguar is a little uncouth rest assured that there is the option of an eight-speed automatic gearbox and now four-wheel drive too.
Prices for this new XF start from £32,300 for the base diesel with the manual gearbox and there are four models available: Prestige, R-Sport (sporty looks), Portfolio (luxury) and S (reserved for the 3.0 litre petrol or diesel engine only). Standard specification is generous with leather seats, satellite navigation and xenon headlamps all being present and correct without having to delve into the options list.
Summary
The new Jaguar XF is a fine looking car that not only writes the cheques but cashes them too thanks to its fine mix between driver thrills and excellent refinement. Its reduced weight and its ability to offer high fuel economy and low emissions adds the sparkle that its interior slightly lacks. The new XF is Smooth for passengers, Stirring for the driver and Sparing for its owner.
Model tested: XF 3.0 Diesel S model at £58,355 (0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds, average of 51 miles per gallon, 300 PS, 144 g/km of CO2 emissions and annual road tax of £145).
