For 2012, the Jaguar XF undergoes trim changes, which further differentiate the trim lines and adopt the company’s signature styling. These include revisions to the grille, hood and front fenders, trunk lid trim, and taillamps that now use LED for all functions. Bi-xenon headlamps and a power-latching trunk are standard on all models. Inside, all models received revised seats, black-paint-finish buttons and switchgear, new trim, and improvement infotainment systems. The 5-year/80,000 km warranty introduced for 2011 has been decreased back to a 4-year/80,000 km warranty.
