2021 Jaguar XF

History/Overview

Jaguar's XF sedan debuted in 2007 but has seen extensive upgrades over the years. Now in its second generation, the sedan has aluminum bodywork to help save weight. If you're looking for a departure from the usual German luxury compacts, Jaguar is here for you with this model that wears more traditional British luxury in and out.

What's New / Key Changes from Last Year

The XF has seen an extensive refresh inside and out for 2021. That includes a new grill and new LED lighting as well as new rear lamps. On the inside, Jaguar has fitted a new Pivi Pro infotainment system with 11.3-inch screen. A new cricket ball-stitch gearshift is also fitted, and Active Road Noise Cancellation helps to silence the car. Just one trim level is available this year, with one engine choice.

Available Trims

The XF is offered for 2021 in the R-Dynamic SE grade only. That model comes with a 2.0L turbocharged I4 badged P300 that makes 296 hp. It has all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic.
