In the past few years, the once car-heavy lineup at Jaguar has swiftly shifted toward crossovers, and now the 2021 XF is the brand's only sedan—that is until the British automaker reveals the next-generation XJ, which will be an electric model. And unlike the brand's SUVs, the XF nameplate comes with over a decade's worth of performance and luxury expectations. For anyone looking for a sophisticated sedan, the 2021 XF may just be the ticket. Jaguar simplified its powertrain offerings for this year, cutting the supercharged V-6. That leaves the turbocharged four-cylinder as the only engine, which lacks the potency of six-cylinder versions of rivals such as the BMW 5-series and Mercedes-Benz E-class. But the brand did add some new tech and freshened up the look. Also, it cut the price.
Jaguar updated its mid-size sedan and slashed prices. Unfortunately, it also removed the previously optional supercharged V-6 from the lineup, leaving the XF with two versions of the significantly less powerful turbo four. A reshaped front end and new wheel designs help to modernize the look. Changes inside include subtle styling tweaks and new features such as a prominent 11.4-inch curved touchscreen.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance: The XF is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that comes in two potencies. The P250 version produces 246 horsepower whereas the P300 generates 296 horses. Both engines mate to an eight-speed automatic transmission, but only the less powerful one offers rear- or all-wheel drive. The P300 comes exclusively with all-wheel drive. While we haven't had the opportunity to test both versions at the track, we have driven the more powerful one. It hit 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, which is slower than the now-defunct supercharged V-6 model, but the Jag's exhaust still sounds pretty good. We appreciated the Jag's supple suspension, which delivered fluid handling along with exceptional ride quality. The XF's steering transitioned adeptly between low-speed lightness and high-speed heft. The soft brake pedal had a gradual response, too.
| Acceleration : | P250 RWD: 0–60mph in 6.5 sec P300 AWD: 0–60mph in 5.8 sec |
| Curb Weight : | 5489lbs |
| Top Speed : | 155mph |
| Power-to-Weight Ratio : | P250: ~188bhp/ton | P300: ~210bhp/ton |
| Platform : | Jaguar D7a Aluminium Architecture |
| Suspension : | Front: Double Wishbone, Rear: Integral Link |
| Active Aerodynamic System : | N/A |
| Brakes : | Ventilated disc brakes with ABS and EBD |
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG: The rear-drive XF is rated up to 25 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. The more powerful model with all-wheel drive is rated at 22 mpg city and 30 highway. We tested the latter XF on our 75-mph highway route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, and it achieved 30 mpg in the real world. For more information about the XF's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo: Jaguar graces every XF with an infotainment system called Pivi Pro that runs through a prominent 11.4-inch touchscreen with curved glass. We haven't interacted with this new interface yet, so we can't say whether it's more responsive and less glitchy than the company's past systems, but we'll keep you posted. In addition to supporting over-the-air updates, the setup comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and a 12-speaker Meridian stereo.
