2016 Jaguar XF & XF S First Drive Review: The Un-German Mid-Sized Luxury Sedan 

great to listen to someone hows knows their stuff about jag thanks

Nice Deadpool color scheme on those seats, love it.

Let's just hope the typical Jaguar depreciation knocks these things down to my price range in a few years!

the 1st 15 seconds is why i want jag

Roman doesn't seem to be into it so much in this vid - not sure why. I just drove an XF with the lighter interior for a little spin and I quite liked it. I liked it quite a bit more than the 5-series actually.

A good alternative to the "I must drive a German car to belong," the dash is plain, but so are the dashes on many BMW's,, why didn't they put a wooden dash like in mine? it's classic Jaguar heritage to do this!

Hopefully they'll drop a V8 in and give us an R variant at some point...

Do these come with CD PLAYERS ?❤

I like Jaguars better then a Mercedes

it's beauty it's grace

You can say what you like about Jaguars but Jaguar customers are the most happiest owners after Lexus owners. Mercedes, BMW and Audi are at and below average according to several customer satisfactions surveys both here in the UK and the US (JD Power, Driver power Autoexpress) I would have one of these in a heartbeat over a Merc or BMW. Audi? Really dont know, i do like the A6. Reliability concerns, well a British police force in Sussex had a fleet of brand new e classes which they had to get rid of after 2 years because they were so unreliable. So under intensive use at least, they dont hold up.

Enjoyed review. Especially appreciated question/comment on whether or not technology is getting in the way of the driving experience. more focus on whether someone can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth than whether one can get a bigger engine or more performance these days.

I KINDA LIKE THIS CAR AND IM THINKING OF BUYING 1 SOON BUT 1ST I Wanna know if THEY DEPRECIATE ALOT after a few years. can someone help me out with this plz?

Apart from the obvious teeth grinders - Jagwar; aluminum; Steve's accent; Nik's hairstyle - I found this a very entertaining video. Current Jaguars are a curate's egg. The good bits are, suspension, handling, steering and materials. The bad bits are, loss of idiosyncrasy, poor engines and tasteless interiors. The most interesting part of the video is the geomorphology of the area. Judging from the rock and the strata, it must have been a seabed at some time, and the differential erosion is fascinating.

looks like deadpool designed the interior haha😂😂😂

American: "so this is all aloooooooomenem?" Brit: "Well this is 75% aluminium"...... Has look of extreme satisfaction on his face for teaching American how to speak properly LoL

Definitely the best in it's class. The new Mercedes is for granddads, old ladies and taxi drivers. Interior looks best in cream, white or suede, not a fan of red or black.

What is the full range of engines? Just the six-cylinder?

TFL Car can we expect you guys to be at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit MI at Cobo Hall in January 2016?

so what would be better to own an XF or a XK? trying get a second car since been driving a clk 430 w208 for five years now just want work on it as a project car so need something replace it was going get a newer benz but the Jag been catching my attention recently

It's Ian Callum, not Ian Cullen. Pronunciation is everything.

whats thast camera he's holding so small with such nice quality

Please compare this to the a6 E class and 5 series one day!

I like this interior more than Mercedes. I hate how modern Mercedes interiors are getting. I like old school, yet still modern interiors. Just like this car

Nothin beats a British car in British Racing Green!

Who's the 'small child' with the beard in the front passenger seat ? Gosh, he makes someone like Michael Caine as charismatic as a Kraft cheese slice. It makes me proud to be a Brit.......

I wish Infiniti would make a new model that competes. The Q50 is nice, but it's more comparable in size to the C-class

I have a 2014 jag xj and it is THE worst car I've ever owned. I want to say I've had a different "light" or issue pop up almost twice a month. They DO NOT cover anything. I was on the highway and the power brakes went out... The BRAKES. I had to push myself against the seat with the brake pedal extremely hard in order to stop. Luckily no one was hurt. Jaguar says the brake line was leaking and they're very "sorry". I hit the sideview mirror on a mailbox and it was $1100 to fix. Airbag lights came on randomly. Infotainment would lag once in a while. One main issue I had was with the autostart/stop which never worked.The list goes on. Hands down the worst car I've ever had. This xf is incredible just like my xj absolutely incredible, on the outside. I had it as a loaner plenty of times and look loved the sporty drive and mostly everything about it. I had one xf while one of the many problems was "being taken care of" and the second day the engine light comes on. Again Jaguar apologizes.

where was the test done? Was it in colorado??

The only good thing about this car is the exterior ! The front looks so nice and aggressive and I'm really disappointed for a sport model having only 380HP while its competitors have at least 560HP !!!

Another reviewer said this car has some hard touch plastics that it's competition doesn't have. Why put hard touch plastics in a Jag? This is supposed to be all the way luxury.

luxury cars are not really made for 6.2+ height people, there are rarely any cars that are comfortable for 6+ people.

Land Rover LR2...$8500.00 in repairs in the first 2 years of ownership and none of those were warranty items. 75,000.00 purchase price. I ditched it and took a huge financial hit. Never again!

it's not easy to do it right the second time...it was a design masterpiece when it first came out nine years ago. Now it's too deja vu...

where was this filmed?

I wonder if he actually knows that the UK is in Europe?...

It's a good car, but if I'm paying over $70k I'm giving my money to BMW Audi or Mercedes. I feel like this car is worth no more than $55k all the Germans competitors beat it in power interior exterior and overall performance. But good job jaguar!

Looks like the elantra and sonata from hyundai by the side but so do other new vehicles

the new e-class looks waaays nicer inside.

Easy, it's a BUY/BUY.

nice car but did they forget to update the gauge cluster, looks like they borrowed that one from hyundai

Car looks nice and original in the front. Side rear windows look like the new nice Chrysler 200 and the exhaust set up in the back looks similar to the set up of the Mazda 6.

I think Jaguar had the perfect recipe in 2012 with the 5.0 and conservative yet luxurious interior. They've been moving the wrong direction since.Did the XF team lose some key members? Did Tata reduce funding?

I bet the next Taurus will have a aluminum frame

I would maybe consider leasing it for under $450 a month with 0 down. The interior looks dated and exterior looks almost the same as the original XF. It was a nice looking car when it first came out, but its been a while. In reality, it could compete with Koreans if it was around $45k.

2017 E-Class is coming. Good luck Jaguar.

nice Jaguford:)

Jaguar external styling is dated. Didn't really show their clear innovative approach. Interior looks Maserati-esque. Exterior same old with minor changes. Jaguar somehow, doesn't get me excited like a BMW or Mercedes in that price range could.

Driver's car? 5 Series. Luxury interior and refinement? E Class.

Only second this time. I must be losing whatever touch I never had.

I hate all these product managers who don't really know what they're talking about.

the new E class is way better, but not sure which one will have more problems...

Sat it in at the Frankfurt Motorshow. The interior quality is not great.

I don't see a single reason to buy this over an E-Class. Design looks on par with the last generation of E-Class, I doubt the driving dynamics are on par with Mercedes customizability.

love the car, interior and exterior. As soon as i look at the gauges a FAIL. Luxurious car and the rpm/speedo looks plain and boring, from a econo car. Overall Jag did a great job

Well Jaguar is technically European although Britian isnt part of the mainland continent.

For $74k you can get a M4, M3 or a loaded 5 series or A6, much better cars. The glove box and dashboard is similar to Kia's and other Korean brands..

cool

Nicer than the German offerings, but lacks in technology compared to the German offerings.

Id ove to see alooomenium Button

Europeans? You were only talking about Germans. (Mercedes, Audi, BMW)

i like this get he honest and dosent just let you by . tough and good questions if only someone did that to trump.

It looks cheap inside. Compared to the A6 and E class it's poor.

"sopercharged" LOL

Interior design is meh and material plastics look very cheap for this class. Also Jag is far behind in tech compared to MB and BMW. Disappointing car to me especially after the great Ftype.

Should've used beige for the leather than that awful red seats.

Its no F-type

soooooo tired of seeing red interiors now

The other Europeans? You mean Germany :)

"jagwar"

that engine sounded like a weed wacker

awd

english> german

Sedona

TORQUE OF THE DEVIL

HAHA I didn't know Jaguar was not "European"....

If you drive an impala LTZ you're not going to spend 75.000.00 on this pile.

interior looks really cheap und boring. I dont know how this is possible, but the old XF interior looks way more modern und luxury. and the new rear is crappy too, looks like an boring audi. not elegant, not british. just boring.

aluminum frame! I smell a Ford here!Lol

I'd rather take the Volvo S90

Need sub-titles for the English gent....don't have a clue what he is saying. Not the best Jag spokesman for the US market.

LMAO @ Jaguar AND any SUCKER that would buy one! Complete GARBAGE car! Lets face it, Jag was NEVER a good reliable car to being with, then after Ford bought them.....well that's all that needs to be said! True the XKE was one of the GREATEST car designs in our lifetime, and super fast, but still one of the WORST car makers EVER! Besides FIAT (Fix It Again Tony) Ba, HA, HAAAA!
