Large and expensive executive cars are rarely crash-tested and the XFR is no different. Even so, it comes with an impressive range of safety measures as standard. Some innovative features on the XFR are either cost options on other models or simply not available. These include a pop-up bonnet to minimise injuries if a pedestrian is hit plus a blind spot warning system (a cost option) – it alerts the driver with a light in the door mirror if you’re about to pull out on a car that you haven’t seen.
The large 500-litre boot compares well to alternatives and is larger than any previous Jaguar. Unlike other manufacturers offering similar cars, there isn’t an estate version, which limits practicality. Aside from the large boot, storage space inside the cabin is rather limited, with an average-size glovebox and just a few storage areas like door bins.
A useful rear parking camera – that shows the view from the rear of car – is optional.
