Jaguar XF Saloon (08 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 21 February 2008 Last Updated: 20 October 2011 Years of criticism for being too 'traditional' and flagging sales prompted Jaguar to take a radical step when replacing the S-Type. The XF has hints of previous Jaguars in details of its design, but looks and feels every inch a modern, upmarket saloon. The interior is wonderfully stylish and despite actually containing more wood than any previous Jaguar, it's combined with aluminium to give it a contemporary appearance. It's amazingly comfortable too but also good to drive with very little body roll and responsive steering. The XF proves that Jaguar is back to its best when it comes to building luxury saloons. The model slightly was revised in March 2009 with a more powerful V8 petrol engine plus a superb new 3.0-litre diesel (available with either 240bhp or 275bhp) replacing the 2.7-litre unit. 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 Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £29,955 - £52,130 View all new prices Used price range: £13,217 - £41,580 View all used prices See 27 new models for sale from £26,148 Get a Jaguar XF Saloon (08 on) information pack Next steps Jaguar XF Saloon cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
