The Jaguar XF (X250) is a 4-door saloon / 5-door estate from Jaguar, built from 2007 to 2015, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Under the bonnet: Petrol. Ian Callum (2005) drew it.
The background
The Jaguar XF (X250) is an executive luxury sports saloon car that was manufactured and marketed by the British automobile manufacturer Jaguar Cars. The XF was available as a four-door saloon and a five-door estate marketed as the Sportbrake. Launched in Autumn 2007 as a replacement for the S-Type, the XF was designated internally as the X250. The X250 was succeeded by the X260 in 2015. X250 was the first of the new styled Jaguars.
The engineering
Power comes from Petrol; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1850 kg. It shifts through a 6-speed ZF 6HP transmission / ZF6HP26/ZF6HP28 automatic transmission / automatic / 8-speed ZF 8HP transmission / 8HP70 automatic transmission / automatic. The wheelbase is 2909 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Jaguar S-Type; its successor was the Jaguar XF (X260); assembly was at Birmingham. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Nissan GT-R, the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Hyundai i30 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Jaguar stablemates include the F-Type and the Vanden Plas.
What it costs now
The money question first: $15,900–$42,400 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,780–$7,730 a year. Insurance sits around $1,580–$3,220 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
