Vehicle Overview

The 2014 Jaguar XF has a distinctive British flair with conservative design elements that stand up over time. Equipped with standard leather seats and calming blue ambient lighting, this midsize luxury sedan provides an oasis of comfort on your daily commute. Or you can dial it up with a supercharged engine and dynamic rear-wheel-drive handling. New performance and vision packages add extra technology features and performance upgrades, depending on the trim. If you're looking for a little luxury and some modest tech upgrades, the coupe-like XF sedan is a great option.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 Jaguar XF

1. Get supercharged 

The 2014 Jaguar XF offers a supercharged 5.0L V8 engine that's tuned three ways: fun, really fun, and really super fun. At a base level, this engine delivers 470 hp on the XF Supercharged trim. Upgrade to the XFR, and you'll see 510 hp. If you're lucky enough to find one of the 100 XFR-S models built, you'll get a knock-your-socks-off 550 hp. These models are all rear-wheel drive only. 

2. Drivetrain options 

The base offering for the 2014 Jaguar XF is a 240-hp, 2.0L four-cylinder model with rear-wheel drive. The benefit here will be the EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of 30 mpg.

 But if you're looking for more power and better handling, keep an eye out for the level-up 340-hp, 3.0L V6 with all-wheel drive. As a heads up, the XF 3.0 is the only model in the lineup that has both RWD and AWD available. 

3. Pampered interior 

The 2014 Jaguar XF is a luxury sedan with a sporty ambience, and you have a nice blend of the two inside the cabin. The lush leather surfaces and multi-way power adjustable front seats pair nicely with the light iced blue ambient lighting. You can then look for the more luxurious wood trim or the sporty aluminum accents. Also keep an eye out for options like heated-and-cooled seats, suede headliners, and the premium 825-watt Meridian sound system to completely pamper yourself. 

4. Tech upgrades 

The 2014 Jaguar XF offers numerous packages with technology features people take for granted in today's new vehicles. So, be sure to look for the Vision Pack and Portfolio Pack, which will include features such as adaptive headlights that pivot as you turn corners, automatic high beams, blind spot monitoring, and heated-and-cooled front seats. Also, keep an eye out for models equipped with adaptive cruise control and advanced emergency brake assist. 

5. Select your driving dynamic 

The 2014 Jaguar XF offers drive mode options that range from comfortable to sporty. So, if you're taking a leisurely drive, stick with "Normal" mode. But when you're feeling frisky, slip into "Dynamic" mode for increased throttle response and tighter steering. In vehicles with AWD, you'll also have "Winter" mode, which offers greater capability in low-grip conditions.
