Start with what the Jaguar XF (X260) is: a 4-door sedan (car) / saloon / 5-door Station wagon / estate with Petrol engine, built from 2015 to 2024, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Ian Callum.
The story
The Jaguar XF (X260) is an executive/mid-size luxury sports saloon manufactured and marketed under the Jaguar marque of Jaguar Land Rover from 2015 to 2024, in saloon and estate body styles. Following the first generation steel-bodied X250 XF introduced in 2007, the second-generation XF sedan/saloon debuted at the 2015 New York International Auto Show, noted for its aluminium bodywork.
In 2020, the XF received a facelift that mostly improved the XF's interior. As of 2022, the XF Sportbrake has been downgraded to compete in the D-segment while retaining its E-segment exterior dimensions. Production of the XF ceased in mid-2024.
What is underneath
The engine is Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. On the scales it comes to 1545 -. Drive goes through a 8-speed ZF 8HP transmission#Jaguar / ZF 8HP45/ZF 8HP70 automatic transmission / automatic / 6-speed ZF 6S-45 manual transmission / manual. The wheelbase is 2960 mm / 3100 mm (XFL). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
In the Jaguar line-up the Jaguar XF (X260) has a clear place: it replaced the Jaguar XF (X250); the factory was Birmingham. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Ford Escort, the Chevrolet Camaro, the Ferrari 488. Nearby in the Jaguar catalogue sit the F-Type and the Vanden Plas.
Owning one today
Buying one now means $15,900–$42,400 for a typical example, 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.
