Jaguar XF FULL REVIEW test driven R-Sport 2.0d 2nd generation MY2016 all-new neuer

[@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.

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!

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 .

[@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

[@tenti1524]

Great review , i too own the previous generation 3.0d and was very interested in seeing the new model , jaguar seems to be following a lot of the makers now by offering a ' sportier ' option without the real perfomance .... I e RSport , like volvo Rdesign , where you get the looks without the power , but in this day and age economy is probably at the heart of most peoples minds and i think the introduction of a 2.0 d for this car will prove to be a winner

[@SteveWright148]

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.

[@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 !

[@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. :)

Amazing review as always, very detailed and informative. Thank you.

[@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.

[@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!

[@stevezephyr]

A thing of beauty and a joy to behold.

[@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.

+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.

[@ScottZ370]

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

[@nhprman]

Previous exteriors for the XF (2009-2011) actually looked generic - or more accurately, like bits and pieces of other cars. A Volvo-like grille, 1990s-era rounded Chrysler headlights, and from the side resembling a Lexus, and a BMW "Hofmeister kink" rear-quarter window. But this 2016 model actually seems far more evolved, and has a bit of its own DNA now. The headlights do indeed look more beautiful. I like the new lower bumper work. The front section chopped off from the rest of the hood is, actually, kind of odd looking. I agree with the reviewer. The side is far more rounded, which is traditional. The leaping Jag - missing from earlier models early on - is a welcome addition.

[@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!

[@musclerent]

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"

[@rolfbakaitis3886]

Thanks Thomas for a really interesting and detailed review. I really enjoy your reviews, the subjective mention of the cars styling and interior and then how you go into details with the cars controls and how they are to use and feel in material quality. I really like the styling of the new generation Jaguar models, I am a fan of the 1st gen XF, it to me had a fine combination of sleek looks and novel interior styling features. I prefer the new XF to the XE. I sat in an XE at the Qatar Motor Show and then sat inside all its rivals (BMW 3 series, Infiniti Q50, Lexus IS, Audi A4 (old shape), Cadillac ATS and Mercedes C-class) and was so shocked its build and material quality was worst than all those cars, except perhaps the Cadillac. I also thought the styling looked too much like the 7yr old XF and back lights abit too much like the Audi A5. This Jaguar XF looks like another disappointment interior wise. If you have seen the new W213 E-class interior you would say the Jags looks so cheap and outdated.

[@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.

[@timand859]

I think looks wise the old model is preferable... would like to see same rear headlight led styling as xe and f type, plus more modern looking wing mirrors. Agree with him on interior quality.

[@photopulse321]

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

[@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).

[@tiga8032]

Great review Thomas. Definitely that plastic underneath the air con module needs to be secured :) A small note, the volume button didn't appear to have any light on it, first time I saw that on a vehicle. Does it make a difference? Perhaps I am too picky. Hopefully F-Pace will be better! I'm hopping for that :)

[@g00dfeeling]

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

[@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"!

[@petersymonds1920]

Great review as ever and very thorough. I tend to agree with most of what you say about the styling etc. The Interior quality seems to be lacking and Jaguar have lost their interior richness which made them lovely places to travel inside. I also agree about the annoying traffic update suddenly cutting in a giving you a heart attack. Also maybe some of the undecorated areas just don"t need to be trimmed and bolted down in a heavy manner such as the boot ceiling and the bonnet catch? It wouldn"t bother me but those horrible seats would as I think they are tastless and very un-Jaguar.

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Bravo! Another excellent review, Thomas! Beautiful exterior styling. I'm not a big fan of the interior as it reminds me somehow of a Dodge/Chrysler interior styling. The inferior quality as you nicely pointed out is disappointing for this category. As for priorities - hm, I think I want it all! Driving feel/dynamics, styling and quality. Btw, I vote for seeing the navigation unit etc in the German language even though I don't understand German. When in Rome, do as the Romans... 👍🏻 One question: I'm curious as to why you chose a Jag for your personal vehicle ?? Care to share with us ? Ciao! A presto. Danke.

[@autogefuehl]

+Mario Dalla Riva heh =) Recently we had a lot of comments asking for switching it to English :) I picked that Jag because design and details are the most emotional to me. Had the most "wanna get it" feeling to me. Plus I have been fan on the brand since the XK8 came out :)

[@The69cool69]

Another great review. I have a 2011 XF Premium Jaguar which I love, But I have been planing to buy a 2016 in March, but I want the 10.2 inch GPS, which I hear is much better that the 8 inch screen you were driving. I am wonder if you seen and tested the larger screen and what you think about it in comparison to the slow small screen? Also I am wonder about the sound of the exhaust. I love the roar of my 385 HP exhaust. I have heard the newer Jaguars have tone down the exhaust sound too much. Did you notice this?

***** danke für die Antwort 😉

[@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”

[@MrThangzable]

Thomas, did you get ACC with your XF? If so, how are you finding it?

[@autogefuehl]

Hm, did I test it in the driving part?

[@MrThangzable]

No, the car in the video didn't have the ACC (Adaptive Cruise). :-) I recall you saying that your own car is also an XF, and that maybe if it has ACC on it, you could give your opinion on it.

[@autogefuehl]

Actually the one I had was the generation before :)

[@MrThangzable]

Ahh, I see then. My previous car was also a 2010 XF 3.0 DS. :) Beautiful cars. I now have an XE S with ACC, but haven't been able to test it due to weather conditions. Loving your reviews of all cars, by the way!

[@TheRTPatriot]

This is my take on this car: exterior is attractive especially in the front where I am being reminded of BMW. The interior is somehow boring especially that infotainment center. It fits more to Toyotas than something competing with the 5 series or the A6. My final verdict for the midsize luxury sedans is that the 2016 A6 rules them all in and out.

[@yiorgospapadopoulos3795]

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

[@gbriank1]

Which displacement do you own? Looks like that honey bee (6:50) was a Jaguar fan too! Is that the DEF filler port in the trunk to the left? Navigation screen delay is not good for a car this price. At this price point, JLR could have outsourced the system to Blackberry or Alpine. As for the seats, I'm assuming Europe has options for cloth, vinyl (V-Tex) or leather. Overall, a satisfying step forward for Jaguar...but, still needs more work. TATA needs to budget them more for R&D.

[@autogefuehl]

+gbriank1 yeah it was an I think it bite me... got a big forehead later that day. Yeah the filler for AdBlue is in the left of trunk. I was driving the 2.2 Diesel with the XF MY2012.

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.

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

Great resolution, let’s not do a wide angle, also, shoot from the level angle.

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:)

nice interior

[@michaelxie4563]

Has Jaguar improved their reliability?

[@autogefuehl]

+Michael 谢 Yes, they recently scored _very_ good ratings in the past few years, especially at JD Power

[@bfcfan2739]

Sat in one of these and then a 5 series f10 straight after. Love the design but couldn't hold a candle to bmw build wise which is a shame .

[@andrewgay7529]

Anyone know what colour this car is in ?

[@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

[@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

I am crazy about wood trim, I need big chunks of wood trim in my car.

[@jdesmo1]

On my third XF. (2010 5.0 NA portfolio, 2011 5.0 SC, 2014 3.0 AWD Portfolio). Drove the 2016 XF-S AWD. Comparing to 1st gen: The good - -car looks good, well proportioned all around (except dual exhaust tips a little weak) -Much quicker, pulls hard -feels noticeably lighter and more agile - handles better - ride is very-very good with less road noise even on the 20". -car feels rock solid -sport seats are good -more of a driver's car The not-so-good- -Interior design and layout - meh, nothing special -interior not the understated elegance expected in a Jag / not as rich looking / not as high quality / not as nice to the touch compared to 1st gen. -noticeably lower grade leather -hard, cheap looking plastic compared to better plastics used in 1st gen. -some ergonomic mistakes and too many small buttons on steering wheel and elsewhere -WAY OVERPRICED -steering is quick, accurate, feels OK and not as over-boosted, but not as communicative or as delicate as 1st gen. hyd. system -even in Dynamic mode, still no sporty exhaust/engine sound. The best sounding of the bunch was my first 2010 5.0 NA in dynamic mode

[@autogefuehl]

Good observation think so too as stated in the vid

[@petitflocon647]

sad you never tryed the final version 2021

[@autogefuehl]

Jaguar is dead. Sadly.

[@milosone]

Am liking your channel.... but can we maybe have English subtitles please?

[@autogefuehl]

+Milo O'Neill Thanks! Oh you think that's necessary? Sorry but manual subtitles are really a lot of work we dont have the budget for that :/

[@milosone]

+Autogefühl shame, we need a good motoring channel, and although I have no idea what your thoughts are.... it looks like you give decent reviews

[@autogefuehl]

+Milo O'Neill I dont know what you mean - what language are you talking ? Or do you mean that we should offer this service for non-hearing? There is an automatic function with youtube, you could try that out, I think its not th best yet, but better than nothing

[@milosone]

+Autogefühl I have to make an apology. I was using a pc w no sound and made an assumption that you were speaking in German/Dutch I didn't realize you were reviewing in English. great job , thank you

[@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 :)

[@DeineVadda1]

+Autogefühl i did not expect that but it makes sense … must be pretty cool
