8 Reasons to Buy the New Jaguar XF

Comfortable, safe, and a blast a drive the XF is a great all-around car.

The new Jaguar XF is one of the most exciting sports sedans on the market. It’s a satisfying vehicle that offers premium driving dynamics at a very affordable price. The car competes with the likes of the Audi A6 and BMW 5-Series. 

The 2022 XF is equipped with one engine option, a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine offered in two potencies – the P250 produces 246 horsepower, and the P300 delivers 296. Every XF model is equipped with Pivi Pro, an infotainment system that runs through an 11.4-inch touchscreen with curved glass. The car also comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto integration, and a 12-speaker Meridian stereo. While some competitors offer better performance, the Jaguar XF is a sports sedan worthy of consideration. That said, dive in for eight reasons to buy the new Jaguar XF.

Efficient Powertrain

The 2022 Jaguar XF features an efficient yet pleasing standard powertrain. Drivers who want more efficiency than thrills have access to the sedan’s base engine, rated at 25 mpg on city streets and 33 mpg on the highway. The vehicle’s turbocharged four-cylinder engine, tuned to deliver 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, also provides a satisfying kick.

The XF’s power is more than sufficient for buyers interested in a daily commuter. It’ll confidently drive from home to the office and back and still leave the driver feeling satisfied. The car sprints from 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds. 

Attractive British Styling

When designing the XF, Jaguar Land Rover engineer Mike Bradley made sure the striking DNA of the F-Type was transferred to the company’s new sports sedan. Jaguar did an excellent job ensuring the car was uniquely styled to stand out from the crowd. Its fascia is attractive with sleek signature headlights and a muscular grille. 

The vehicle also features clean body lines intended to bring out the vehicle’s sporty profile. And with the brand’s optional black exterior, buyers get to own an even more unique sports sedan. While all the trim levels are styled to look aggressive, the more potent SE R-Dynamic features a more muscular look. 

Sharp Handling

The new Jaguar XF is one of the best handling cars on the market. The sedan has sporty road manners and impressive agility. The latter is particularly noticeable when the car cruises on a twisty road. Additionally, the Jaguar comes with a Dynamic Stability Control to ensure drivers don’t push the XF beyond the limits. 

There’s also the available Dynamic Handling Package for drivers who prefer a nimbler vehicle. This package has adaptive suspension dumpers that make the XF feel like a genuine sports car. The vehicle’s reputation for sharp handling makes it a darling among enthusiasts. 

It’s Comfortable 

When a car comes with noticeable agility, it’s always at the expense of the vehicle’s comfort. Fortunately, the 2022 Jaguar XF is different. The sports sedan seems to strike a good balance between comfort and sportiness. Several reviews applaud it for its seamlessly comfortable freeway ride. 

The vehicle features a well-tuned suspension for absorption of bumps and rough vibrations. It also comes with a Standard All Surface Progress Control that helps the XF deliver pure driving pleasure on the road. This system also allows the Jaguar to better react to changing road conditions. 

Premium Quality Interior

The 2022 Jaguar XF comes with a starting price of $46,450, which makes it, although it’s a little cheaper than the competition, a premium luxury automobile. The car is adored for its elegant interior that offers elite comfort. Its cabin is built with high-quality materials, including grained leather seating surfaces and faux wood trim. 

The more powerful SE R-Dynamic model comes standard with sports seats with contrast stitching. Because of the vehicle’s brilliant craftsmanship, the XF’s interior provides a comfortable, quiet drive at all speeds.

Excellent Standard Safety Technologies 

It’s 2022, and safety is no longer a priority; it’s a necessity in all new vehicles. The 2022 XF comes with a good list of safety features. And while most vehicles offer advanced safety technologies as optional additions, the majority of the advanced safety features in the new Jaguar XF are standard. 

The Clear Exit Assist is designed to sense nearby vehicles and helps ensure that passengers don’t open doors to incoming traffic. The car is also equipped with a Blind-Spot Monitor to help ensure safer lane changing on the highway. Other safety technologies include the Forward Automatic Emergency Braking, which keeps drivers from colliding with pedestrians or other vehicles on the road and in parking lots. 

Large Enough for the Family

The 2022 Jaguar XF is designed to accommodate up to five people, the ideal size of the average American family car. The car is spacious, with 41.5 inches of legroom up front and 37.7 at the rear.

The family and a cousin or two can hop into the XF for a weekend family trip. Drivers who crave a more relaxing drive can opt for the vehicle’s top-of-the-line front seats with vents and massaging functions.

More Potent SE R-Dynamic Model

The 2022 Jaguar XF’s biggest win is the excellent fuel economy, but that’s only on the lower trims. Opting for the more powerful trim, the SE R-Dynamic translates to sacrificing fuel economy. Although the XF is offered with only one engine option, it’s fine-tuned to dish out more juice on the SE R-Dynamic model. Power output rises to a more respectable 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. 

The additional brawn gives the XF some exciting performance stunts. 0–60 mph now takes only 5.8 seconds. And to enhance its road grip, the 2022 XF SE R-Dynamic comes with an exclusive all-wheel-drive setup.   

Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.
