The new Jaguar XF is lighter, more efficient, and packed with technology.
I'd like to mention several features that are segment-leading for the XF, starting with the fact that the XF has the lowest emissions of any new hybrid model (104 g/km).
In addition, lightweight aluminum architecture enables class-leading weight of 176 pounds lighter than the competition.
The feature I liked the most was the rear seat space. Occupants of the second row gain 0.6-inch more legroom, 0.94-inch more knee room, and up to 1.06-inch more head room than competitors.
Admittedly, the driver’s seat was a little small for me. I was also desperate for some small open storage spaces for sliding glasses and keys, and the always-disappearing cell phone. I needed something to help control my smaller items.
I would have also preferred radio volume and station selection to be accomplished by a knob instead of touch screen. Rough roads and uneven pavement made it difficult to press accurately the buttons or icons. Placing the press points along the edges of the navigation screen demands too much precise attention and often becomes a distraction. A large clock (silver dollar-sized) with easily read numbers would have also been a real asset.
