Handsome styling; excellent interior; comfortable seats; fine handling; great new technology.
Design not drastically different from that of the previous generation; rearview camera should be standard throughout the range; advanced safety aids only available in higher trims.
A second generation debuted for 2016, so the only significant development is the addition of a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine. See the 2017 Jaguar XF models for sale near you
Take a midlevel Prestige, add a few choice safety and technology options, and it becomes a well-equipped, high-tech Jaguar for around $65,000 -- not bad for a brand-new luxury car. By all means, get the more powerful V6, but the difference in real performance is negligible. Find a Jaguar XF for sale

Standard items include side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control. As mentioned earlier, a rearview camera would have been nice in the base model (if anyone actually buys a basic premium car), and the advanced safety features only become available at higher trim levels.
The options list includes many advanced driver aids, such as rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beams, LED headlights, an automated parallel-parking system, lane-keeping assistance and a 360-degree camera system.
The XF has not been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

2017 Audi A6 -- The A6 or the A7 both offer optional all-wheel drive, a comfortable ride and handsome designs inside and out.
2017 BMW 5 Series -- A new generation debuts for 2017. The 5 Series is traditionally at or near the top of this class, so the 2017 model is a serious contender.
2017 Cadillac CTS -- Anyone checking out a Jaguar is undoubtedly looking beyond Germany for their next car, and their time would not be wasted by test driving a CTS.
2017 Lexus GS -- Surprisingly fun for a Lexus, yet stays true to the usual qualities of excellent build and generous standard equipment.
2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class -- Also new for 2017. Plenty of new technology on board, including semi-autonomous driving assistance. Plus the usual E-Class attributes of style, space and sophistication.
Used Mercedes-Benz S-Class -- The S-Class is far more than a luxury car -- it's a statement. For new XF money, an S-Class version from the generation before the current model is totally affordable.
These are the best used midsize luxury cars under $25,000.
