Ratings & reliability

Customer ratings

4.8 out of 5

5 customer reviews
The 2012 Jaguar XF impresses with its powerful engine and nimble handling, delivering an exhilarating driving experience. Its elegant design and quiet cabin enhance comfort, though some find cargo space and seat adjustability lacking. The luxury feel and reliability are widely praised, but fuel economy can be a drawback in city driving.
