Jaguar XF R (09 on) - Review Review by Dan Harrison on 11 March 2009 Last Updated: 03 June 2011 The XFR is designed to appeal to the kind of car buyer who previously would have bought a powerful German saloon like the BMW M5 or Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. It offers a tantalising blend of performance, luxury and cutting-edge engineering. At its heart is an all-new 5.0-litre V8 engine with 500bhp that powers the XFR to 62mph in less than five seconds and onto a top speed of 155mph. It's good to drive and is as happy to soak-up motorway miles as it is on cross-country B-road blasts. The package is completed by the stylish, modern interior that's not only beautifully crafted, but also matched to some of the latest in-car technology. 4.5 out of 5 Other Jaguar reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £65,380 View all new prices Used price range: £25,758 - £47,630 View all used prices See 2 new models for sale from £54,086 Get a Jaguar XF R (09 on) information pack Next steps Jaguar XF R cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
