According
to multiple reviews, the 2012 Jaguar XF is a strong performer in the luxury
sedan category of automobile.
U.
S. News ranks this vehicle as 5th among a field of 15 cars in this
class, and some reviewers seem even more taken with the vehicle than that. It
would appear in the U. S. News review that elements taken into account to keep
this model from getting above 5th place include the availability of
other models in this class in all-wheel drive and a lack of safety testing of
this model. Another reviewer also notes
that Jaguars in general have had reliability issues in the past.
While
the Jaguar XF has not been crash tested by either of the two automobile safety
testing organizations in the United
States
Decidedly,
it is not a vehicle for those who are not in the market for a luxury car, with
a starting price of about $53,000 new.
However,
the 2012 Jaguar XF is, at that price, rated a value by reviewers because of
what the vehicle has to offer.
The
Jaguar XF’s features attractive to the potential buyer of this vehicle include:
- Xenon and
LED headlights, for superior illumination while driving in dark or
inclement conditions
- Keyless
entry system
- Keyless
ignition system
- Heated
leather seats
- A 385
horsepower, 5.0 liter V-8 engine which offers more power than some other
vehicles in this class; and at a similar cost to some vehicles [such as BMW
535i] with lesser engine power.
- Standard
equipment includes interior technological tools, such as navigation and
Bluetooth features.
- Fuel
economy of up to 23 miles per gallon [highway]
Multiple
reviewers have reported being impressed with the changes made by Jaguar to the
XF model between the 2011 and 2012 editions of this vehicle model. The changes made by Jaguar to the vehicle
model are subtle, but overall according to multiple reviewers these small
changes add considerably either to the technical capabilities of the car such
as acceleration and cornering capabilities, or to the “style” or “look” of the
car that buyers in the luxury car market so covet.
Further,
for those in the market for even more power, in addition to the base XF model,
a “supercharged” model that delivers 470 horsepower is also available on the
market.
Generally,
the Jaguar XF is rated an overall excellent value in its vehicle category by
multiple reviewers.
