The Jaguar XF, launched in 2007 as a 2008 model year, is a mid-size executive saloon that marked a significant departure for the British luxury carmaker. It replaced the aging S-Type and aimed to establish Jaguar as a modern and sophisticated competitor in the segment dominated by the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The XF’s design, penned by Ian Callum, was a bold statement, with sharp lines, a sloping roofline, and distinctive “J-blade” daytime running lights. It was a departure from the classic Jaguar aesthetic, showcasing a more aggressive and contemporary style. Under the skin, the XF employed Jaguar's lightweight aluminum architecture, offering a blend of performance and efficiency. It was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the supercharged 4.2-liter V8 and the potent 5.0-liter V8, each delivering a potent combination of power and refinement. The interior featured a driver-focused cockpit with high-quality materials and advanced technology, including a rotary gear selector and a dual-screen instrument cluster.
