Jaguar XF R (09 on) - Review

Review by Dan Harrison on
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.

Equipment

The XF range is well equipped, so it's no surprise that the flagship XFR model gets a high level of standard kit. This includes 20-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, cruise control, xenon headlights, heated and cooled seats, leather sports seats with adjustable bolsters, silver painted brake calipers, red speedo and rev counter needles, touch screen sat nav, climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, iPod/MP3 connectors and suedecloth headlining. Optional extras include a rear-view parking camera, TV tuner and a heated steering wheel.
