Jaguar has given its mid-size XF saloon a face-lift and a brand new engine to bring it up to speed with the competition as well as the rest of the Jag range. Introduced in 2008, the XF was the first serious step by Jaguar toward shedding its traditionalist image and becoming truly competitive in its segment.History has shown that, given these two cars’ respective target demographics, the smaller, cheaper, sportier XF should really be more contemporary looking than the loping (but ultimately quite sporty) limousine that is the XJ. The front end now benefits from the sleeker

headlamps and upright grille that made their conceptual debut on the C-XF in 2007, but disappointingly only made production on 2010’s XJ. This is allegedly because then-owners Ford had rather lopsidedly already completed the production XF’s design before creating the striking CX-F concept to wow customers.This too is an expression of the brand’s independence as, under Ford ownership, horizontal vents were the strict reserve of Jaguar’s posher stable-mate, Aston Martin. The XF’s range was thus far limited to just three engines – a petrol V6, a diesel V6 (in two states of tune) and the petrol V8, either naturally aspirated or supercharged. With eco-consciousness becoming a major concern in the executive and luxury segments, Jaguar has answered the call with the XF’s first four-cylinder engine.

All models get an engine stop-start feature and have their six-speed automatic replaced with a far more advanced eight-speed unit as standard.
