[@SylphzEdge]

Great review! You guys are seriously much more detailed than any other studio out there.

[@autogefuehl]

+sylphz thanks appreciated!

[@TheRastapimp]

I agree! Excellent review. Thinking of getting one of these in Jamaica and all that was pointed out and demonstrated in this review were my exact thoughts and experiences, this is spot on!

[@Abdulla77]

Your style of reviews with in-depth detail is by far the best I've seen on KZbin.. I don't generally comment on videos but this has to be said!

[@autogefuehl]

+Abdulla Al-Khalifa thats very nice! Enjoy more of our reviews!

[@TheCarxpert]

Interior looks classy. I'm sure that the fit and finish will be right up there, after a few months of production. Overall the best car in it's class, a few tweaks here and there and it will be close to perfection.

[@autogefuehl]

+TheCarxpert lets hope that!

[@pablor6809]

Best car reviewer out there,there are some car reviews that you watch when you want to confirm your bias or consolidate your choice when the decision has already been made in your mind, then there are reviews that give you the full honest review, warts and all. He gets across the fact that this is a great car for design and driving dynamics but some of the fit and finish isnt quite up to standard.Then leaves it to you to make your own decisions on what you actually want in a car.Its like having a knowledgable friend giving you advice, pointing out the good and bad bits.

[@MyRandomReviews]

Great review, it's really nice to hear some informed opinions instead of the typical reading off the spec sheet!

[@autogefuehl]

+MyRandomReviews thats Autogefühl ! Hope to see you at more of our reviews

[@th3coupl3]

I'm an Audi guy, but the intro with the music and shots makes me want to switch

[@catarinatrindade3257]

it's a great looking car, but in my opinion fail in most important in that class, the quality of the interior. Congratulatios for a great review, once again.

[@autogefuehl]

+Miguel Trindade thanks Miguel!

[@RBBBBBBBBB533]

Excellent Review! Exquisite attention to detail! You really are a connoisseur.

[@autogefuehl]

+Raghav Baijal thanks so much, please spread the word for us !

[@RobinHansen882]

Another premium-car review! Good job Thomas! To bad the Jaguar lacks a little bit on the interior (leather and plastic) and build quality part compared to the German rivals. I would really like to see an episode where you show us more of Autobahn. How to drive and how not to drive with tips and tricks. And what to be careful about etc. :)

[@rajpillay67]

I just purchased one it is the Jaguar XF 20d R-SPORT 2019

[@justalekd733]

nice!!

[@unions100]

Hope u are enjoying your new xf as I am 👌👌👌

[@henson2k]

Thank you for interesting video! I'm considering new Jaguar XF for great exterior, promising dynamic (V6) and modern electronics (digital dashboard). Had a chance to seat in it when was visiting New York Auto Show this year and found cockpit rather small. Trunk is strange: narrow and deep. Overall I like it but don't want build quality ruin all that. Frankly speaking pretty much all brands have problems with interior though.BTW in different review I saw much better video quality from cameras. I believe with Full TFT cluster you're also getting improved hardware that handles video much better.

[@DanielSadjadian]

Awesome review. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new V8 Supercharged XFR will be like.

[@paulalexander4477]

If you value beauty, a great drive, reliability and low cost the XF is a class leader. It just gets better and better. Look and admire that profile. Nothing compares. Great job JLR.

[@mickadatwist1620]

indeed...next year will be mine

[@AkioWasRight]

I think the new rear quarter glass makes the car look a little less sleek and sexy than before. IMO, now it looks more like a Ford Fusion.

[@AkioWasRight]

+emdec55 Err, Ford Mondeo for non-Americans.

[@gbriank1]

+emdec55 So true... Fighting for the Aston Martin look

[@davidhamilton506]

+emdec55 ....The Ford Mondeo was experiencing slack sales, so they planted a Jaguar body on it's drive train, called it an X-type and it sold like hot cakes. That's what I'd heard....

[@gbriank1]

David Hamilton True.

[@musclerent]

+David Hamilton Ford who owned Jaguar at the time needed a new smaller car (X Type). Because Ford was short of money shortcuts had to be found hence the use of the Mondeo platform which was cheap because yet already had it and it was pretty good. So Jaguars use of the Mondeo platform had nothing to do with slow selling Mondeo's and everything to do with finding a cheap solution to building a new Jag which of course operates in a more premium segment.

[@punkyinthebrain]

Hello Thomas, your reviews are so good! At first I always think "what can he talk about for 38 minutes, but you spend the time very well. Your reviews are also not too formal- they talk to me, the common man as well....Regards, Jon

[@autogefuehl]

+punkyinthebrain thx jon! Keep supporting us!

[@Projectprohonda2009]

Xf is amazing I want one 👍

[@JonathanHealy-o7k]

Another excellent, comprehensive review. Having owned both the X250 and the X260, I concur with your views. The build quality is poorer and it is clear that corners have been cut on some materials and parts used in the new model. However, the interior is roomier, more modern, despite the glitchy infotainment, and the handling is sharper. One thing I would emphasise about the X260 is the road resonance which is definitely worse than the X250. The Ingenium engine sounds nicer for sure than the old PSA 2.2D engine, but is is known for major reliability issues, unlike the PSA engine.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks for the feedback!

[@rohankhurd784]

Great review as always. Was looking forward to an honest one and I believe this one is. I think I will stick to my 2014 XF until they sort the quality issues out. Should be a winner if they are addressed.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

Autogefühl does not care about road signs forbidding to enter roads by car at all. :-) Busted! Good review btw.

[@autogefuehl]

+Ronald de Rooij The road signs like Autogefühl.

[@Marko_Horvat]

Design looks very menacing (in a good way)

[@Olliebobalong]

Love these reviews. My go to source for proper car reviews. It seems if Jag paid as much attention to the detail quality of the build as they did for the driving dynamics and exterior design, this would be a pretty flawless car, although there are elements of BMW's which are cheap. When you next review one, pay attention to the boot lid, and the fact they only spray primer there, with exposed spot welds. Is see even on this jag they have covered most of the metal with plastic, and under the parcel shelfs, thats pretty common. Audis certainly finish their cars off the nicest. I looked around an XE a couple of weeks ago and the exterior finish, as in the panel gaps and paint work, to my eyes was the best i have ever seen on a car bar Bentleys. Many Beemers and Mercs with orange peel lately.

[@autogefuehl]

+Oliver Newell indeed!

[@stevezephyr]

A thing of beauty and a joy to behold.

[@joako2706]

Hi Thomas , excellent and through review as usual I guess is the standard of this channel. Mind , when are you going to test the BMW 5 Series ?

[@autogefuehl]

+joako2706 thanks buddy! Next BMW will be 6-series facelift in about 2 weex!

[@Chris-fw2mc]

Great review. I think the leather and stitching on the dash look cheap even before feeling them and some big panel gaps on the exterior look quite bad. Overall I think the design of the exterior and interior is really nice and if Jaguar decides to increase the quality of these things next gen then I think it will be a really nice car (and update the computer system).

[@xdragosx]

your reviews are great

[@autogefuehl]

+Dragos pirvu thanks Dragos!

[@kevinn1158]

Very frustrating seeing all those little details not being addressed. It's such a good looking car. That hood gap on the driver's side and those rear seat release mechanisms are really bad. The XE has these same releases. I wonder how the F pace will fair. standing by for the verdict by "judge Thomas"!

[@autogefuehl]

+kevin n judge thomas I like that ;-)

[@musclerent]

and the thing is the hood could be adjusted in about 20 seconds.

[@tacosr]

The only problem with the XF is at the higher ranges of this model you cant ignore the heavy weight German competitors from Mercedes-benz, BMW, and Audi; from what I see, it just isn't as good.

[@ghostinthemachine76]

+TacoSeniour Nowhere near as good as an Audi, Benz or BMW. And never will be.

[@gbriank1]

+John Taylor They might get close, but with a huge infusion from TATA.

[@Wolvesq]

+TacoSeniour You'd take the German competitors only if you value luxury over sport. The XF is more fun to drive than the comparable 5 series, A6, or e class. The germans have more tech and shiny stuff but lack the soul of the jag. Priorities.

[@tacosr]

Wolvesq I agree, but if i'm about to be rear ended by a lorry I'd rather have the high tech german instead of the passionate Jag.

[@eMKeaL]

+Wolvesq This so called "soul" is about the most overused excuse for every flaw and lacking in any term when compared to competition, it was always the same for Alfa or Lancia enthusiasts. The new Jag dissapoints in terms of quality and attention to detail, and if no change from previous models - reliability will also be an issue. If you are so focused to go against the market trends a then I would pick Lexus GS over this XF anytime or Infinity Q50 over XE.

[@10pinbowling]

nit picking for the sake of it.... this is a beautiful car, simple!

[@neutronstar44]

great review as always. Btw which do you think would be the ideal color for the new model. In my eyes, the silver color seemed to suit the old car the best.

[@autogefuehl]

+Suman Nayak Always love a strong blue :)

[@yiorgospapadopoulos3795]

Do a Mini Cooper review please, and take it on green color with black stripes if possible :)

[@flakronsinani3895]

can we have those days any AMG epissode dear Thomas ?

[@raduteodorpetrica2344]

Such a pity the interior lacks in built quality, because the car is superb on the exterior and I suppose it's a good choice also from a driving and motor point of view. Also the trunk was very disappointing, with those two yellow hooks for flipping the seats. I thought Jaguar was a more refined high level car. Hope they will keep the exterior and improve the interior, because then it will be a serious competitor for the other models in its class. Also that GPS was pretty annoying...Reminded me of my 2013 Samsung mobile which barely let's me access social media apps.

[@autogefuehl]

+teo p yes indeed. See another XF review from us right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2i9q4SvZdSZh9k

[@traquakuppler]

old one looks a lot better in my opinion...

[@oxwich100]

Another good review, but I think you are too critical on some parts of the interior e.g. no lining on the upper part of the boot (trunk). How do the leather seats compare to the German competition? I place handling high on the list of what a sports sedan should have, and would therefore choose the Jaguar over the competition.

[@autogefuehl]

+Chris X yeah handling is really great. For seats I would take the R-Sport standard (technical mesh cloth on the inside, faux leather on the outside) or the S standard (alcantara on the inside) without the leather option. That should do better

[@Hattonbank]

You refer to the Taurus leather as faux leather. Taurus leather is genuine not faux. The Taurus leather supplied on this vehicle is all supplied by the Conceria Pasubio tannery in Vicenza, Italy. Jaguar does to sell pvc as real leather. If you want faux leather, buy a Mercedes with Artico “man made leather”

[@pamandrobtrust7624]

Great review that unearthed a car that is simply not ready for the market. So many stupid little faults that have not been seen nor ironed out before its release. The car looks great. However? Its simply below par for the money as it is. Its a shame that nobody at JAGUAR saw the many petty FLAWS IT definitely has. Quality control and feed back to engineers needs sorting. Jaguar cars are not cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@autogefuehl]

+Rob Trust thanks Rob! I agree. Check out our newer XF review here where they have improve some of the parts, that was interesting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2i9q4SvZdSZh9k

[@TK-mh8dn]

Beautiful car! Looking more exciting than the a6, 5 series or the e-class. But the quality seem to be very poor.

[@antoniocurylo3344]

Nice XF but i would go for BMW 535d with M Sport package , like the interior more in BMW and it is posible to have towbar Thomas if you reading this please saw in the rewiev if it is posible to have a towbar beacuse thats really needed for some people like me

[@USASPORTSCARDS]

I believe he was much harder on this car because he previously owned a Jaguar. I have seen many quality issues in the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 series has tons of cheap materials and plastics. The Germans, at least here in the U.S. Are not of higher quality than this XE.

[@autogefuehl]

+USASPORTSCARDS thanks for the feedback, we will keep that in mind when we review the competitors.

[@coolsdon]

So much more desirable than that soul less German trio ..

[@Matwiej19]

review it self cool and very detailed. nice car but bmw 520d still nicer :)

[@Evilsork]

+Lukasz Matwiejczyk noone would buy a bmw 5er now, because there is a facelift soon.

[@rodakorn]

I'm not saying it's a bad car, but for that price you get better value for money with a premium german brand like mercedes audi or BMW.

[@rodakorn]

+Kayserili38ification If I compare the base models of a Bmw 5 series with this jaguar XF they have pretty much the same equipment (really shitty both by the way, I agree with you in that), at least in my country.

[@keremcavlak3113]

araba süper denilecek kadar çok iyi sadece arka dolgun luk ve yükseklik ayarı one eğimli sportif vermeleri doğru olacaktır.

[@yigalgoldfarb2097]

You seem not very impressed with the interior quality and finish? Love the XF, on my 3rd one now - I drive now the 2014 XF 3.0 AWD Portfolio, before that I had the 2011 V8 5.0 S/C Portfolio, before that the 2010 V8 5.0 Portfolio and I was always impressed with the XF all around, and certainly their interior quality and class. So as we both drive an XF, I'm curious how would you compare the interior quality, fit, finish of the new XF to the current 2014 XF for example??

[@autogefuehl]

+Yigal Goldfarb Exactly, I have also driven the previous XF myself as a private car and was very satisfied with it. As I stated in the video, the new generation drives much better but does keep up with the interior quality, quite sad. But let's hope they improve that build quality over the next months

[@jdesmo1]

+Autogefühl, I also noticed JLR showing increasing the prices of the new XF here in the US on their website. That would be really stupid way to gain any hope of increasing sales. On the other hand, I noticed in your F-Pace reveal video, you were much more impressed with the interior, fit , finish, quality.

[@OldVillain]

Looks are extremely subjective and one opinion can vary so much from another. Personally, I prefer my Mk 7 Golf SE in terms of looks, interior design and definitely build quality. If you gave me this Jaguar, I would trade it in for a Golf or Passat. Jagaur are living on past "glory" (if you can call sporty design, abysmal build-quality and disasterous reliability, glory) to attract those who want that "Englishness" in there marques. As usual Thomas, thank you for the review and drawing attention to the tacky quality of the seats and switch-gear; these things matter - that's why I enjoy living with and driving a VW Golf.

[@musclerent]

Jaguar are currently one of the most reliable brands and sales are the highest ever

[@gardenafterrain]

In addition to the full digital instruments, I thought the new xf also features a brand new large digital navi system, no?

[@autogefuehl]

+gardenafterrain yes, I have mentioned that in the interior part, its optional

[@gardenafterrain]

Thank you for the reply Thomas. Would you be able to review either XF or F-pace with fully digital instrument/navi equipped? Curious to know your thought of it.

[@paulrodger3115]

Hi from Toronto Canada. XE, S60 ( the S90 I think will be too large). I am city driving , 5,200 km/ y. 1 or two passengers. I have to purchase pre-owned. Suggestions

[@soundseeker63]

Nice looking car but I agree the interior is a disappointment. The XJ has such a beautiful interior, its a shame they didn't carry more of that over into this car. 9/10 for exterior styling, 4/10 for interior. Everybody is raving about the ride/handling though.

[@autogefuehl]

+soundseeker63 agree

[@gardenafterrain]

Jaguar always have good looking on the outside, but inside is rather disappointing. Not to the design, but all those little things. Don't they know it's the details make all the difference when people choose cars?

[@dontuno]

Thanks Thomas, as ever a well rounded review. Entirely agree with your observations and indeed Jaguar should have given much more thought to the interior. It's always the tiny detail that makes the difference. The XE also suffers in the same way but in fairness the driving experience is where these cars redeem themselves and for me that can partially excuse the interior. Jaguar (and others) really ought to run their designs past your critical eye and take note of what you find and correct before mainstram production.

[@Igalsr]

just seen one on the road I was sure it's a cheap remake of Audi A5 when I looked at the rear of the car in white color

[@AlexA-ts8sq]

In profile, XF looks like Auudi A6

[@jack1109]

Currently have the old 2.2D R Sportbrake version. 2013 model year. Just about to swap out for this new model. Biggest improvement should be the new 2l Ingenium 180hp engine and fact that this model is 200kg lighter. I am buying a saloon version so even more weight saving over my Sportbrake. Have been disappointed with the fuel consumption on current car. Averaging 35mpg overall but do get over 42 on a long motorway drive. Hope the new engine is above 40mpg overall and has less turbo lag than the old car.. Reliability has been first rate. Agree about the infotainment system - slow and not the best graph graphics! This new one still not the best. Build quality is .... OK.. Not as good as my old Audi A6 but nothing has actually broken in 70,000 miles and all the lights work! (How many cars today -even newish ones - do you see with failed lights!). As you say, a fun drive and very comfortable long distance cruiser. I have driven 350 miles non-stop and felt fresh at the end of the journey. Love your reviews, Thomas.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks for the report!

[@miguelribeiro7202]

Hi, I want to buy a Jaguar. I like the Jaguar XF but there are also the Jaguar XE and I was thinking about the Kia Optima 2016. Can you tell me with Car it's the best? I mean, Kia have 7 years garanties....how about the Jaguars? Thanks

Thank you! I saw your videos already. But I would like to know your personal opinion. Thanks:)

[@kw.7142]

seriously? the rear seat folding mechanisms are held in by tape and roughly insulated by foam? the build quality of this car looks much worse than the 3 series by a long shot. Considering the price of this car, it is quite unacceptable...

[@gphillimo]

Is the American version different Cause i like this one a lot better

[@autogefuehl]

+gphillimo No they shouldnt differ. This one is the all-new generation, maybe you mean the past one

[@gphillimo]

+Autogefühl I looked at an America one and it had the 2 tailpipes as one on each side instead of 2 on one side like this one

[@autogefuehl]

[@Hattonbank]

How can you tell from a film? Honda leather is supplied by Eagle Ottawa, big supplier to Ford. Jaguar leather is supplied by Conceria Pasubio, same supplier as to Bentley, Porsche and other premiums.

[@rares9480]

[@merlin1346]

Why cant British car manufacturers get it right first time instead of always taking the bumb ass attitude "we can put that right after", then 3 versions later its still the same old attitude. The Jaguar XF could be stupendous machine to rival the Mercedes C220 diesel that produces more power, economy and attention to detail, but then again, isnt it bad workmanship what the germans know us best for?

[@DeineVadda1]

Will you have this new one?

[@autogefuehl]

+DeineVadda1 It is a desirable car, however there is no need to buy a new car for me in general right now

[@DeineVadda1]

+Autogefühl thanks for responding so quickly 👌 … so what is your personal car at the moment ?

[@autogefuehl]

+DeineVadda1 you re welcome. You are seeing the cars I drive - considering the amount of reviews you might understand that there is no time to drive any more vehicles :)

Amazing good looking car. Realy poor build quality. Too bad there isn't an Jaguar XF Audi Edition.

[@autogefuehl]

+Rui Alves LOL =)

[@TDC2024]

Looks far too much than the XE... If I saw one in the street I would easily mistake it for the XE unless I studied this car really well...

[@andrisromanovskis9363]

It's a pity to see that an icon dies like that. Legend it is no more, but a weak fart. This XF is a sorry disappointment and Thomas is obviously aware of this, as we can see in the film. Cheap materials and cheap tricks used to pretend to be bigger than it is. "Adding value" is one big lie. Material cost of a car is~ 10% of it's price. Previous gen XF had closer to 13%. No wonder the sound insulation sux, lids fall off or fail to close... Now I wonder which car maker will take the definitive step to give a buyer a badge, a helmet and ask them to drive around on brand value only.

[@musclerent]

I can assure you Mercedes use some pretty poor materials too. The A class is easily beaten by a Ford Focus for cabin quality.

[@andrisromanovskis9363]

+musclerent Thanks for your comment! Agree! One bloke commented privately that new Merc C-klass looks pretty un-mercedesish if taken bare.

[@PaulHojda]

This car pretty much lives up to the stereotypes of British build quality. Disappointing

[@BaybieK]

Other than the exterior styling it has nothing going for it. Its an unreliable slow car with poor interior build quality... That pretty much sums it up! I'm a 2.0d R-Sport owner and I can say with my hand on heart that its the 2nd worst car I've ever owned.

[@MrRea112]

Dreadful panel fit and boring and disappointing interior quality. The interior of a Golf GTi & R beats this roundly and that’s a serious shame because I like Jaguars.

[@bjarnegehmeyr1379]

Where you come from???

[@autogefuehl]

+benz fan Germany!

[@bjarnegehmeyr1379]

[@autogefuehl]

+benz fan Ja kann ich verstehen, in der Tat ist es ja so, dass wir viele Zuschauer aus Deutschland haben, die aber das Englisch auch gut verstehen können. Und somit schließen wir den Rest der Welt dann nicht aus :)

[@atlantikav5902]

The old XF has much more character, this just looks dull.

[@Tednessful]

This car is a total disappointment, really. I haven't seen it in person yet but this video reveals major flaws (huge hood gap, upper dashboard 's humongous gap on the left side, shameful finish inside the trunk, crappy leather, outdated nav system, etc.) But mostly, the interior looks cold and cheap. Even Hyundai (Genesis) does better these days, not to mention recent Lexus sedans and crossovers displaying way more emotional and warmer designs. Who would have thought so only 15-20 years ago? And that awful rear design... it looks like a 1994 Euro Honda Accord! Only positive aspects I see are the razor sharp front end and the dynamic driving experience but definitely not worth that noble badge.

[@MrCarGuy]

Agreed. The production tolerances seem to be low.

[@gbriank1]

+John McCann Trying to turn around a British make is going to take years. Ford couldn't do it...will TATA succeed?

[@Tednessful]

gbriank1 I hoped they would as Range Rovers are indeed in better health than ever. But what will kill the brand is that, contrary to i.e. RR with the Phantom, they tried to start from scratch instead of updating tradition. If you kill the tradition that made you great, you kill your future. It's as simple as that.

[@musclerent]

+gbriank1 They already have, sales have soared.

[@gbriank1]

musclerent Depends on the market in question. Manufacturing is one thing, having a limited dealership network is another.

[@snowcountry322]

so awful…the new XF. saw one in person in Korea .

[@papoopa5800]

Um, what's not awful in Korea?....

[@gaffnaldo1]

Love this gentleman's reviews, he really knows his stuff and is not scared to say what is not so good

[@autogefuehl]

Thx pls recommend 🤗

[@pitthepig]

Nice video as always. These are indeed very deep reviews! By the way, are those release bars at 22:45 hold simply with duct tape and foam? Well, this is really cheap...

[@autogefuehl]

+pitthepig thanks, appreacited! Yeah indeed...

[@kobbetop]

That really is duct tape, unbelievable! Design is awesome but ductape doesn't belong in any new car, cheap or expensive...

[@pitthepig]

It's really amazing. I guess there's a guy at Jaguar factory whose job is to put a couple of strips of duct tape on the trunk of the car. Not exactly a high qualification job XD

[@The-Other-Guy]

LOL, Old sofa of your grandma at 21:20, you are hilarious Thomas.

[@autogefuehl]

+TubeMeUpp =) For your pleasure, I ll repeat that one in the next review if an equal effect will come into play =)

[@The-Other-Guy]

+Autogefühl I appreciate your frankness but be careful, if you say such a things very often, no car company would like to offer you a brand new car for reviewing.

[@autogefuehl]

+TubeMeUpp I appreciate your concern m8. I am only obligated to honesty. Every car manufacturer knows that we fairly point out the good and bad sides of each car. And if people can trust us, that is also in favor of the automotive brands. Advertisement they can do on their own, but not authentic reporting. If you follow the comments, you see that so many cars have been sold because of our reporting and recommendation (without us having any benefit), and the reason is that people know we are honest and they know what to expect of their car.

[@The-Other-Guy]

+Autogefühl Sie absolut richtig sind

[@mrmementofinis]

Pls connect interior quality Audi and exterior Jaguar style and we will get perfect car:D

[@davideselvi3906]

You mean BMW interior quality

[@rocket78able]

Very good review. l own a 2013 xf here in New Zealand. Looks far better than the new one. Hate the join in the bonnet, the fussy c pillar, exhaust pipes too close together on the twin exhaust models and the interior is a backward step. I suspect a case of function over style with this one. What a pity.

[@autogefuehl]

+Barry Brett thanks 4 the feedback !

[@Lolman240]

I thought the new XF would feature the fully digital instrument cluster like the F PACE...I guess I was wrong.

[@MrCarGuy]

It is available on higher trim levels.

+Lolman240 Don't be disappointed, it would only go wrong. Jaguar have never been very good with electronics.

[@ghostinthemachine76]

+MrCarGuy20 I'd much prefer an analog.

[@autogefuehl]

+Lolman240 It does optionally, I am explaining that part in the interior review part

[@ScottZ370]

Optioned it on my car and hugely regretting it because it's impossible to see with the sun out

[@g00dfeeling]

It looks pretty much the same like XE. I would go with Maserati Ghibli in this class as it is more distinctive.

honest and clear review, keep up the good work always love jaguar indeed the little things have to change to make them a typo premium car builder it's the detail

[@tomaskovarik404]

Now that's what I call a review! Thanks for such a detailed video.

[@autogefuehl]

+Tomas Kovarik thanks tomas!

[@russellstuart8654]

Extensive and detailed review , thank you . I had the previous version of the XF before changing to my Range Rover Evoque . Obviously a very different car but still enjoyable. That said , it’s time to change again and having retained a warm feeling for my old XF , the combination of your review and a great deal has persuaded me to buy a 3 month old 2020 Xf R sport . Hoping to take delivery soon when the awful Covid19 crisis is over . Meanwhile the car reviews on KZbin help with the lockdown we all have to suffer ! Thanks again for a very good and honest review .

[@autogefuehl]

thanks Russell! Enjoy! :)

I think this is an early production vehicle, hence the issue found. The car has had some rave reviews elsewhere and something I didn't know and that it's CO2 emissions are class leading (and that's without cheating!!) "Jaguar says this is the lowest CO2 figure in the class for any non-hybrid vehicle. It’s well down on today’s BMW 518d, which has an official rating of 114g/km, as well as a lower-powered, 141bhp engine"

Great review including assessments of the cars impact on the user in daily actuation of all controls. Thank you so much for your in-depth thought and work!

[@autogefuehl]

thanks daniel and join us for more reviews !

[@Lawrence5987]

What a great review...probably one of the best car reviews out there. By the way, I love this new XF, what a great looking car!!!

[@autogefuehl]

+Lawrence5987 thanks !!

Another excellent review Thomas. I have owned two Jaguar XFS 3.0 diesel portfolio cars covering a total of 110,000 miles, and the facelift version with the 8 speed ZF gearbox is a fantastic car. Unfortunately, whilst I like to support British manufacturing, I won't be buying another one. I think that the build quality has declined and they are using cheaper materials to reduce costs. The other reason is due to the punitive tax that is now payable in the UK which makes it much more attractive to buy a hybrid. Even with the new reduced emissions of 144g/km on the current XFS 3.0 D, the tax is still 28% this year, rising to 35% by 2019/20. I watched your lecture at Cologne University and you said that in Holland there was a high tax of 1% per month. For many vehicles in the U.K. Taxes are already 3% per month. This has now become a major factor for most business car drivers in the U.K. The lack of a hybrid is a serious omission in the Jaguar range and they will lose out to their main competitors as a result of this, for at least two years when they are rumoured to be introducing hybrid alternatives. After much soul searching, research (thanks Autogefühl!), and test drives, I'm just about to order a BMW 330e. Whilst it's not as comfortable as the Jaguar or as quiet due to run flat tyres, it's a nice drive and the tax is only 7% at the moment. Kkep up the good work: your reviews are the most detailed and useful I've seen to date.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks steve for the interesting feedback and stick with us !

[@autogefuehl]

@Antonio Curylo Yes, normal tow bar 700 Euro, electrically hidden one 1.300 (German prices)

[@hakikattalwar1988]

+Autogefühl why you people so narcism about your products grow up...

[@hakikattalwar1988]

+Autogefühl your are so pro to german cars and NOW VW has scandals with their diesel engine... PLz BMW and mercidiez cars and fighter planes used by hitler....so I will buy Jaguar...

[@hakikattalwar1988]

+Autogefühl DON't be FCUKING biased

[@autogefuehl]

MY stands for 'model year' btw as people are sometimes searching for that

[@tamilpride321]

for once a thorough honest car reviewed on youtube. the rest are just the same repetitive one liners, and last 5 mins

[@autogefuehl]

+tamilpride321 thanks! Glad you notice our honest effort :)

[@khw0ng_]

nice interior

[@ghostinthemachine76]

Nice car. But us Brits still can't build cars as well as you Germans ;-)

[@MrCarGuy]

...and Germans still can't build cars as well as the Japanese (only Lexus really). They (Toyota) have always had the most precise assembly methods.

[@MrCarGuy]

+VOREVOX Honda quality has never been, and will never be, close to Toyota quality. Toyota manufacturing methods have also always been so precise and perfect, really. If you look at a Lexus interior from the late 90s, for example, you won't see any drop in quality compared to a new one.

[@MrCarGuy]

+VOREVOX I have had 3 Hondas and 3 Toyotas and every Honda had a major failure (the last one had failed transmission at 8k miles. Toyota has never let me down. Not even with a minor annoyance! Lexus vehicles are certainly obtainable for any group and it's not too hard to find great used examples.

[@MrCarGuy]

+VOREVOX Agreed, but the real kicker to me will be the new LS next year. I can't wait. They are always the "top of the tech" when revealed. Current one has not been my favorite and was out for 9 model years.

[@ghostinthemachine76]

+MrCarGuy20 Yes, Lexus have very precise assembly methods, and build very reliable cars. But, does a Lexus have the interior quality of an Audi? I would suggest not. Does a Lexus have the door closing sound of a VW? Despite 200+ hours effort by Lexus engineers, I would suggest not. Don't get me wrong, I like and respect Lexus as a car company. I like their engineering, their customer service and their ethos. But their cars are dull. A Lexus is the sort of car you buy when you retire - unexciting but reliable.

[@XQUADRA1]

looks like a mix between bmw and volvo

[@gbriank1]

+Dex Max Better seats in the Volvo, better Navi system in the BMW

[@USASPORTSCARDS]

+gbriank1 best performance here.

[@gbriank1]

USASPORTSCARDS so true. wish we could combine it all together.
