2024 JAGUAR XF | SAJB64FX5RCY95601

Body Styles

The XF is offered in two primary body styles: a four-door executive sedan and a five-door Sportbrake wagon. The sedan presents a long, sweeping roofline with coupe-inspired proportions, featuring a short front overhang, muscular rear haunches, and a taut, almost feline stance. It measures just under 5 meters in length, with a wide track and low-slung profile emphasizing its dynamic purpose. The Sportbrake variant extends the roofline in a subtle arc toward a power-operated tailgate, blending estate practicality with unmistakable Jaguar flair. Both versions retain a refined silhouette with flowing surfaces, slim LED lighting signatures, and a distinctively shaped grille and air intakes, reinforcing the brand’s luxury-sport identity.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

“XF” stands for “X” as a continuation of Jaguar’s executive saloon lineage (following the S-Type), and “F” as a reference to the brand’s modern design language introduced with the F-Type. Together, it signals an evolution in both form and philosophy—a luxury sedan reshaped around dynamic aesthetics and advanced engineering.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The XF was offered in a restrained yet sophisticated palette of exterior paints, reflecting Jaguar’s preference for timeless elegance over flashiness. Core metallics like Indus Silver, Yulong White, and Santorini Black were joined by deeper tones such as British Racing Green, Portofino Blue, and Carpathian Grey. More expressive finishes like Firenze Red and Caesium Blue gave the car a sportier presence in S and R-Dynamic trims. Each color was designed to accentuate the XF’s subtle surfacing and crisp panel transitions, often paired with either chrome accents for Luxury trims or gloss black for sportier variants.

Inside, the XF combined traditional British craftsmanship with modern materials and technology. Base trims featured Ebony Luxtec upholstery, while Prestige and Portfolio models introduced grained and Windsor leather in shades like Light Oyster, Siena Tan, and Ebony with contrast piping. Real wood veneers in Gloss Figured Ebony or Satin Burr Walnut alternated with Carbon Fibre and Aluminum Weave for a more contemporary look in R-Dynamic variants. Ambient lighting, stitched dashboards, and rotating air vents added visual drama. The 2021 facelift introduced a new curved-glass touchscreen, tactile rotary dials, and improved material quality, enhancing the cabin’s sense of precision and serenity.

Wheels ranged from 17-inch multi-spoke designs on base trims to aggressive 20-inch diamond-turned or gloss black alloys on performance variants. Jaguar’s wheel design philosophy emphasized elegance with purpose—whether in turbine-style, twin five-spoke, or split-Y layouts. Finishes varied from Satin Grey and Silver Sparkle to Gloss Technical Grey and Chrome Shadow, each selected to pair cohesively with the vehicle’s proportions and trim-specific accents.

vs Competitors

Against rivals like the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and Audi A6, the Jaguar XF carves a distinct niche through emotional design, lightweight agility, and a driver-focused ethos. While the Germans emphasize digital precision and broad drivetrain offerings, the XF trades on its heritage of analog charm and tactile elegance. It may not match the latest infotainment systems or plugin hybrids in variety, but its unique blend of ride comfort, rear-wheel balance, and high-speed refinement appeals to those who want to stand apart from the corporate mainstream. Its Sportbrake variant also offers an answer to Audi’s Avant and Mercedes’ Estate, but with sleeker styling and a more engaging drive. For those prioritizing individuality, the XF remains a rare and rewarding alternative.

Fun Fact

Despite declining global demand for sedans, Jaguar continued offering the XF Sportbrake in select markets, making it one of the very few performance-luxury wagons with a supercharged V6 and rear-biased AWD. With over 565 liters of cargo space, optional air suspension, and a 5-second sprint to 100 km/h, the XF Sportbrake S remains one of the most overlooked and desirable wagons of the 2010s.
