2014 jaguar xf review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Stylish luxury sports sedan in a range of models. introductionthe 2014 jaguar xf is a solid, stylish midsize luxury sports sedan with rear-wheel drive. Elegant, flowing lines make it a more visually interesting alternative to many of the better-selling cars in its class. The jaguar xf has presence, that intangible quality that allows it to stand out in any line of similar luxury sport entries. Underway, the jaguar xf is smooth, quiet, and comfortable. a range of engines is available for the 2014 jaguar xf, all of them blown: a 240-hp turbocharged 2. 0-liter inline-4; a superbly powerful and efficient 340-hp supercharged 3. 0-liter v6; a 470-hp supercharged 5. 0-liter v8; and a 510-hp supercharged v8. All are outstanding in their own way. All are mated to 8-speed automatic transmissions. new for 2014 is a limited-production, super-fast xfr-s model with a 5. 0-liter supercharged v8 that cranks out a door-blowing 550 horsepower. Xfr-s features a track-tuned suspension and many high-performance upgrades. For 2014, the vision pack adds safety features including a blind spot monitor, adaptive front lights, automatic high beams and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. A premium pack includes a voice-activated feature and keyless entry on 2014 models. A new performance pack for the 2014 xfr adds a sport exhaust, upgraded suspension and brakes. The jaguar xf was launched as a 2009 model; engines were upgraded for 2010, and the styling was revised for 2012. we found all variants of the 2014 jaguar xf pleasurable to drive. With linear acceleration, a seamless transmission, engaging steering and responsive brakes, the jaguar xf's driving dynamics are as solid as that of any of its competitors. We especially liked jaguar's all-wheel drive, which is well-suited to wet and snowy climes. the jaguar xf interior is dignified but a good bit plainer than the deluxe xj. Those looking for smartphone integration with apps like facebook and twitter, streaming internet audio, and the latest navigation system will have to look elsewhere. competitors to the 2014 jaguar xf include audi a6, bmw 5 series, mercedes-benz e-class, lexus gs. While all of these cars might boast higher sales volumes, the jaguar remains a great choice for those who want something different, provided the latest in-car technology isn't a priority. lineupthe 2014 jaguar xf sedan is available in six models.

Optional safety features include a rearview camera, blind spot warning, automatic headlight dimming, front park sensing system, and all-wheel drive. walkaroundjaguar xf's exterior styling is carried over virtually unchanged from the refreshed 2012 model. All jaguar xfs use quintessentially british wire mesh grille work, but the finish and shapes below the bumper vary with the model. The jaguar xfr has black mesh and larger openings below the bumper. The jaguar xf supercharged hood is fitted with louvers featuring supercharged script. the bi-function hid xenon headlights are slim and compact but still incredibly bright, and bordered with led running lights in jaguar's signature j-blade shape. The tail lights use led elements exclusively, which extend onto the trunk lid. the body is defined by a single, uninterrupted line flowing from the front bumper to the rear edge of the trunk lid. The beltline, or that character-building crease below the side windows, rises up into the roof while the roof drops down toward the beltline. The effect is a forward-biased wedge shape that creates an impression of speed, even when the xf is at rest. The rear deck is higher than that of any previous jaguar sedan, but this less-formal look pays dividends in excellent aerodynamics and an expansive trunk. the basic shape does more than create a high-impact presence. Aerodynamically, the xf is very efficient, with an impressive 0. 29 drag coefficient and a front-to-rear aerodynamic lift balance of zero. That means neither end of the car is more inclined than the other to lift in the airflow as speeds increase. The excellent aerodynamics keep the xf stable at high speeds and reduce wind noise inside. we parked an xf next to a contemporary bmw 5 series and were startled by what we saw. The jaguar and bmw are very nearly the same size. The 5 series is nothing if not handsome. Yet next to the bmw, the jaguar seemed not merely larger but somehow grander, more chic. Some of this impression may be caused by the xf's relative rarity compared with the ubiquitous 5 series. But bolstered by jaguar's recent extremely high quality and reliability ratings, the xf is more t.
