The Jaguar XF has been in production since 2008, following its launch at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007. It was originally launched as the C-XF concept car in January 2007.
The C-XF, which went on to become the XF was powered by a 4.2-litre supercharged V8 engine, coupled to 6-speed automatic gearbox. It was formally unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. When they went into full production, Jaguar XF cars were launched with a choice of V6 and V8 engines, like its predecessor, the Jaguar S-Type. The XF was notable for its oval mesh grille, which had been a feature of the original XJ back in 1968.
The XF was immediately made available in a variety of models, Luxury, Premium Luxury, Portfolio, SV8 and XFR, each offering different levels of performance. The base model had a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine, in addition to the 4.2-litre V8, which was used in the concept car. A 2.7-litre diesel was also available as part of the original model range.
2009 saw two major developments in the XF's history, when the 2008 supercharged engine was replaced by a 5.0-litre supercharged engine that boasted 464bhp. The second development came in the form of substantial additional Jaguar XF sales when it was selected for use by UK police forces. A special version of the XF Diesel S was developed, with the first orders being made in 2010.
Anyone hoping to trade in their nearly new Jaguar XF would have been delighted to hear the news in April 2011 when details of a new model was announced, including a new diesel engine and an 8-speed gearbox.
The XF has undoubtedly been one of the best value luxury saloons on the market since its launch. It has won numerous awards, including 'What Car?' magazine's Best Executive Car three years running, between 2008 and 2010.
