Jaguar XF S 35t REVIEW | A Luxury Sedan To Make Benz And BMW Worry
THE 2016 JAGUAR XF S IS THE RANGE-TOPPING MODEL. IT'S BIG, LUXURIOUS, AND DELIVERS ON THAT TRADITIONAL JAGUAR PREMISE OF SUMPTUOUS COMFORT.
But under the bonnet beats an athletic supercharged heart powering a sedan with a genuine sporting intent. So, thoroughly British with a stiff upper lip and all that? Hardly.
The distinctive style of the XF S stands out among large premium sedans, it commands attention in the carpark, but exceptional dynamics and a modern luxury feel is also deeply embedded in its character..

OVERVIEW
Underneath the XF’s svelte bodywork is Jaguar’s new aluminium-intensive architecture - light, but strong, it provides a thoroughly modern platform eons advanced of Jaguars of old.
On the inside, there are a few familiar elements from the smaller XE range, but that car, like this one, is about as fresh as you’ll find, sharing features like the instrument cluster and climate control panels across both models.
