Jaguar has released UK pricing for the 2016 XF, with the new generation saloon now available to order starting from £32,300. The entry-level model is powered by a 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engine producing 161bhp and 380Nm, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox in Prestige trim. This makes the XF a direct competitor to premium executive cars such as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6, and Cadillac CTS.

Engine and Trim Options
The 2.0-litre diesel is the most economical in the range, with official figures of 71.7mpg and CO2 emissions of 104g/km. Buyers can opt for the eight-speed automatic transmission for an additional £1,750, which increases emissions by 5g/km. The higher-powered 2.0-litre diesel, producing 178bhp, is priced £500 above the base engine. For those seeking more performance, Jaguar offers a 3.0-litre V6 diesel with 295bhp, as well as a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol engine. Both range-topping models are listed at £49,950. The petrol V6, shared with the F-Type and XE, brings the 0-62mph time down to around five seconds.

A 17-speaker sound system and Jaguar’s InControl Touch Pro suite are also available, depending on trim. These features aim to enhance comfort, connectivity, and safety for both driver and passengers.
Market Context and Availability
The XF’s pricing and specification put it directly against established rivals such as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6. With a focus on efficiency and technology, Jaguar aims to attract buyers seeking an alternative to the German saloons. Orders are now open in the UK, with first deliveries expected later in 2015.
The new XF made its public debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show, following an online reveal. Jaguar’s updates to the XF aim to strengthen its position in the competitive executive saloon segment. The inclusion of advanced technology and a range of efficient engines is intended to appeal to both business and private buyers. For those interested in recent premium saloon launches, coverage of the Jaguar XFR Speed Pack at the Moscow Motor Show is also available.
