2019 Jaguar XF Review

Jaguar also uses designations to indicate which engine a particular car is equipped with: 20d, 25t and 30t. The 20d has a diesel-powered four-cylinder (180 horsepower, 318 pound-feet of torque) that gets up to 35 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The 25t (247 hp, 269 lb-ft) and 30t (296 hp, 295 lb-ft) have gas-powered four-cylinders. An eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard, and all-wheel drive is optional.

Standard Premium features include 18-inch wheels, xenon headlights, a sunroof, heated and auto-dimming side mirrors, simulated leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with driver-seat memory, power-adjustable steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, push-button ignition, a 40/20/40-split folding rear seat, a 10-inch touchscreen, a rearview camera and an 11-speaker sound system.

The Prestige adds 19-inch wheels, keyless entry, leather upholstery, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, blue ambient cabin lighting, a navigation system, smartphone-enabled onboard apps, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and front and rear parking sensors.

The new 300 Sport shares many of the Prestige features, but it adds a sport-tuned suspension, dark satin gray exterior trim, and active driver safety features including automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keeping assist and a drowsy driver warning system.

The Portfolio Limited Edition dials up the tech and luxury with adaptive LED headlights, auto high-beam assist (which dims high beams for oncoming traffic), a hands-free-opening trunklid, premium leather upholstery, upgraded power-adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated front seats with seat position memory, heated rear seats, four-zone climate control, rear and side window shades, customizable ambient interior lighting, a head-up display and a more powerful 17-speaker sound system.

Finally, the S trim comes with a supercharged V6 (380 hp, 332 lb-ft), 20-inch wheels, an S-specific body kit and an adaptive suspension. Feature-wise, it's similar to the Prestige, though it also comes with sport front seats and a few extra safety features.

A few optional packages include the Vision Assist package for Premium and Prestige trims, which has adaptive LED headlights, auto high-beam assist, front and rear parking sensors, emergency braking, forward collision mitigation, blind-spot warning and lane departure warning. There's also a Driver Assistance package that has upgraded driver safety aids and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality.

The Comfort & Convenience package, available for most trims, includes heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a hands-free-opening trunklid and a soft door-close function. The Tech package bundles the 17-speaker sound system with a customizable digital display that replaces the driver's analog gauge cluster, while a Cold Climate package offers heated front and rear seats, steering wheel, and front windshield and washer jets.
