CharlesYang 1st Gear August 1, 2017 Share August 1, 2017 Actually I oso cant differentiate between the old XF and new XF......LOL It's evolution but not revolution. Most importantly can differentiate between XE and XF. But good if can't differentiate between XF and XJ. New XF looks longer and has a XJ like protruding prominent grill. And has a small window in the c pillar. Nowadays these badge designers sibei lazy. Either do 1 design then cookie cutter for the whole range or use past generation just cut n paste. Audi is moving away from this cut and paste practice according to them. Hope others will follow. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic August 1, 2017 Share August 1, 2017 Have been driving the new XF for more than a year with no incident. The drive is better than the 5 series and inside is quiet as any E class. It's a head turner compared to new E as nobody can differentiate between the new E and C. The old jags got a bad reputation but that's decades old reputation. Jag employs lots of BMW staff so it's essential German nowadays. The new 5 looks small and bland as well. Give the new XF a chance if you want a unique car which looks more than it costs. Pic attached. I can't differentiate between a C and E till I look closer. The new Jag XF beats 5 series in reviews. Don't let the reviews of the old XF affect your decision. I like jags too. Just that the current 2L ford engines are a little underwhelming. The XE looks great outside but bland inside. XF is better but I cannot afford 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic August 1, 2017 Share August 1, 2017 I think they have switched to their own Ingenium engines. that's good! when i bought my car last year, only the diesel Ingeniums were available. @Odyssey2011 have u booked ur car already? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged August 1, 2017 Share August 1, 2017 Good that the latest XF has pure Jaguar genetics, unlike the previous model that was was essentially a rebadged Ford Mondeo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_DEW_platform Ford's use of the platform ended in 2006, but Jaguar continued to use DEW98 after Jaguar was sold to Tata Motors in 2008. Jaguar's use of the platform ended in 2015, with the introduction of the second-generation XF model, built on the Jaguar iQ[Al] modular platform Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Turbocharged August 2, 2017 Share August 2, 2017 Coz u jag fan mah. For the rest of us mere mortals, it's a game of spot the differenceActually TBH.. Wasn't even looking at the Jag until CnC gave me all those BS and low balling. Just taking the selling price when I enquired. 18xk for bare C class vs 15xk for XE, it's a no trainer. Overtrade not counted, as it's a gimmick. And even when we compare the repair costs, XE it's already having a $30k headstart with its lower selling price..
