First off, you get the traditional mesh grille expected from a Jag, but instead of being silver, like on the 2011 model, the 2012 model boasts sleeker black grilles. On the front end, you get a slightly revised grille system. The center bar connecting the two taillights is also brand new, and actually looks like it is a part of the taillights instead of an awkwardly placed chrome strip. Now the entire taillight assembly flows into the trunk lid, giving it a sleeker and less manufactured look. The taillights were also tweaked just a bit, as Jaguar eliminated the awkward looking upper section of the taillight that was integrated with the trunk lid.

The true test is how does this luxury performance sedan actually stack up to its competition, like the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG?Ĭlick past the jump to read our full review and see exactly how the 2012 XFR stacks up. At the top end, you have the XFR, which is a completely different animal that really ties together luxury and performance, and wraps it all with a nice little bow. The 2012 Jaguar XF is a key example of how Jag has been rebuilding that image.Įven at the base level, it is obvious what Jaguar’s intentions were with the XF, as it not only boasts luxurious features, but also a 385-horsepower, 5.0-liter V-8 engine that sends the sedan to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds.Īs we said, that is just at the base level. For the better part of the last decade, Jaguar has been slowly rebuilding its image, eliminating the cushy luxury car image it has had since the mid-1980s and replacing it with a more performance-based luxury image, much like it had in the 1960s.
