2013 jaguar xf review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-wheel drive and new engines. introductionthe jaguar xf is a solid, stylish sports sedan about the size of a bmw 5 series. The jaguar has elegant, flowing lines, more interesting than those of the bmw, and the 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. With a range of powerful engines, the xf delivers strong performance along with responsive handling. As with most sports sedans, the jaguar xf uses rear-wheel drive for sporty handling and serious performance. new for the 2013 jaguar xf, however, is the option of all-wheel drive. All are outstanding in their own way and all come with new zf 8-speed automatics. jaguar's new instinctive all-wheel drive system brings needed winter capability to the lineup in the form of the 2013 jaguar xf 3. 0 awd. According to jaguar north america, 82 percent of luxury cars in the northern two-thirds of the u. Canada also needs awd. Jaguar's instinctive all-wheel drive is a fully automatic on-demand system that engages instantaneously when needed and provides a slight rearward bias carefully tailored to suit jaguar's traditional chassis and handling tastes. All other xf models use traditional rear-wheel drive. the new supercharged v6 that comes with the 2013 jaguar xf 3. 0 awd as well as the rear-wheel-drive jaguar xf 3. 0 delivers 340 horsepower. That's 45 horsepower less than the normally aspirated 385-hp 5-liter v8 it replaces, but its performance is far from disappointing, and the new v6 improves fuel economy to an epa-estimated 28 mpg highway. Two liters or not, it's a true jaguar. we found the new zf 8-speed automatic sequential transmission, present in all 2013 jaguars, to be excellent. It's yet another example of jaguar's respect for the driver's judgment. for 2013, jaguar continues to offer two wickedly speedy 5. 0-liter v8 xfs: the jaguar xf supercharged with 470 horsepower and the jaguar xfr with 510 horsepower. one of jaguar's most winsome traits is its resistance to technology for technology's sake, as found at bmw, mercedes-benz, and audi. Jaguar's strategy, instead, is to reduce complexity to benign usefulness. Instead of being needlessly confusing, driving one to the owner's manual, the primary precepts of the xf's controls are convenience and usability. One exception is the jaguardrive selector pop-up knob for selecting gears, but it's more straightforward than bmw's electronic gear selector. the jaguar xf interior is dignified but a good bit plainer than the deluxe xj. The v8 models come standard with the cold climate package. jaguar xfr 83,200) features the 5. 0-liter supercharged v8 with 510 horsepower, 20-inch seven twin-spoke alloy wheels, r exterior trim, 18-way/14-way front power seats side bolster adjustment and r-embossed trim. options for xf 2. 0, xf 3. 0, awd: cold climate package for 700) with heated steering wheel and heated windshield. Convenience package 2,500) includes blind-spot monitor, voice command, keyless entry, electrochromic exterior mirrors, automatic high beam, electric rear sunblind. Premium package 4,250) includes hard-drive gps navigation with traffic message channel, 380-watt meridian 12-speaker audio, rear camera, front parking air with touch-screen visual indicator, and adaptive front lighting that rotates the headlights during turning. Xfr speed package 3,900) removes the top-speed limiter, adds front bumper aero splitter, rear spoiler with integrated brake light, modifies engine and transmission calibrations, modifies the speedometer to display a top speed of 174 mph. safety features on all jaguar xf models includes six airbags: front impact, front-passenger side impact and head-protection curtains for outboard seats. Rear park sensing is standard, as are a tire-pressure monitor and a full range of active safety features: including electronic stability control (esc) with an understeer management and advanced antilock brakes (abs) with cornering brake control, which proportions brake force from side to side to keep the car balanced while braking through a curve. Optional safety features include a rearview camera, blind spot warning, automatic headlight dimming, front park sensing system, and all-wheel drive. walkaroundthe 2013 jaguar xf's exterior styling is carried over virtually unchanged from the freshened look of the 2012 model, giving little indication of the added mechanical choices lying beneath. we parked a 2013 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 than a nice-looking car. It has about it that intangible element, dignity. In spades. the jaguar xf applies a host of high-tech metals like high-carbon steels, dual-phase, bake-hardened steel and hot-formed boron to create a vertical safety ring around its occupant cell. This careful structural engineering pays dividends in everyday driving. Jaguar claims that the xf is the most torsionally rigid car in the class, meaning that it flexes less from end to end under pressure. This overall stiffness and rigidity is one of the factors that separate luxury sedans from less expensive, higher-volume models. It's the foundation for minimizing noise and vibration inside an automobile, and the starting point for dynamic capabilities such as good handling and ride quality. 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, uni.
