- Last year I drove a newer XF 2.2 and loved it, so will this one be significantly better?

Had mine (a 2012 facelift S) for 10 years now. Put around 80k on it in that time. Utterly reliable, economical, very quiet and comfortable, and when provoked, a total lunatic. Even puts out a fantastic V6 howl at full chat. Fabulous car.
A nice looking Car but well out of my budget lol. Although I think I would like a shot of one. The Dpf is the one thing that puts me of the newer diesel car's I would consider myself a diesel geek lol. I have owned a lot of them. Having said that the 530D I had did have a Dpf and I never had a problem with it. The pressure sensor on Dpf went. Merry Christmas to You and your family buddy.👍
That's an early 250 model which had the same floorpan as the S-Type (Lincon LS). The "upraised eyebrows' were a result of the headlight manufacturer not being able to supply a unit the right size to keep the bonnet line and they went in the 2012 update. A couple of years on the car got a new floorpan and aluminum body (260). Tata bought Jag in 2007.
I have recently bought a 2010 Jaguar XF S 3.0 v6 twin turbo diesel. Previous to this, I had a 2008 Jaguar XJ 2.7 v6 twin turbo diesel for five years. Prior to that I did have a 2006 Jaguar S type with the same 2.7. All three cars drive differently. The S type is softer than the XF and less sporty. The XJ is very comfortable but can be fun to drive on a B road.
The XF definitely has that wonderful mix of refinement and sporty characteristics. Put it in Dynamic mode with track DSC and Sport on the gearbox changes the feel of the car.
It can easily munch away at motorway miles comfortably one day and give you an engaging drive on a B road the next. It definitely doesn't drive like a Mondeo in any way. The closest would be a BMW 5 series. The difference is the BMW wants to be driven enthusiastically all of the time. Whereas the Jag can do either.
One of my all time favourite cars beside Rovers and other Jaguars, I’d definitely love to own one of these one day. If there is any car that succeeded the 75/ZT it was definitely the XF, Rover has definitely lived on in Jaguar, this could have been the next Generation Rover 75, apparently the car that became the XF was on Rovers Board and then the project was took over in 2005 by Jaguar. I’d definitely say it feels more of a successor to the 75/ZT than it does to an S-Type Personally.
That can't be true, BL sold Jag to British Aerospace before Ford bought it and never Rover belonged to either.
@@davidpeters6536 What can’t be true, use sense for goodness sake, If there are any cars like Rover and that have succeeded Rover it was Jaguar and you know it’s a fact that Rover and Jaguar worked together in a number of projects including the XJ220 which had a Rover Engine and Back Lights. It’s normal for another car company to take over a project when the other one goes. Who bought the Rover Marque to copyright Land Rover oh it was Ford and who also wanted the K-Series Engine so bad, oh wait that was Ford too.
No, XF has the same Jaguar developed architecture as S-type which has lots of parts from XK and XJ. Nothing, and I mean nothing to do with Rover apart from Jaguar as a company being distant cousins in BL a very long time ago. Please, do research and you will find the same conclusion.
@@christianolsson834 and you use your sight and sense, the XF looks nothing like the S-Type, the shape of the 75 and XF are very similar, I think I know everything about Rover and Jaguar as they’re both my Favourite Car Brands, I don’t need some keyboard warrior questioning me. Yes the XF did use the S-Type Platform but it literally says Ian Callum Designed it in 2005, so where did Rover get a sketch from in 2002 and even people mistaking the heavy facelift of the Rover 75 in 2006 for the XF. If any car succeeded the 75 it was the XF they were both alike British Executive Saloons. Even if it was based on the same platform and share same parts as the S-Type after 2005 and when it entered production in 2008 it looks nothing like the S-Type and more similar to a 75 in it’s overall shape. How do you not know that Jaguar took from one of Rovers potential designs because Rover was a forward thinking company they certainly had a lot of new potential concepts and sketches.
Great review & very nice car. They have plastic rocker cover’s, which warp. Customer has a very high mileage one, loved it, now upgraded to a XJ, which is extremely nice, even got massaging seats
I just saw an XJ this past Thursday, it is gorgeous. I prefer that model with a V8.
@@frothe42 yes & for Uk they are huge, the one I saw had the same diesel as Mustard demonstrated
I’ve just finished breaking one , the amount of fasteners and weight added to those panels is ridiculous, glad I’ve kept my 2.7 S Xf
Chops Garage channel has one he did sell it then he bought it back he is not fussed if he sells it as he loves the drive.
Never thought of John Nettles as being smooth - more an asthmatic - especially in MM. Nice motor though.
U are the Yorkshire Jesus from now on. Congratulations 🎉
Thank you 😊
I just bought one of these, what a car, in sport they proper shift!
Easy to break the speed limit in no time. Lovely car, much better than my e92 330i.
Great video Captain. The last 5 cars I have owned have been twin turbo 3.0 diesels - of the German variety. I genuinely believe these are the best everyday cars in the world. The benefit of twin turbo is that the first smaller turbo gives good initial acceleration. These cars will do 0-60 in around 5 seconds yet return over 55 MPG on a run. The Police use BMW 335D as their motorway cars, and up to legal speeds the torque means they are a match for a M3.
My current car is 3 litre twin turbo petrol, and whilst the increased rev range makes it fun, I don't drive it hard enough to appreciate it. The road isn't a racetrack!
What did you think of the auto box? I appreciate you are old school but modern 8 speed autos are effortless. I wouldn't drive a manual these days
Great video again!
Lovely car v8 is better 🎉🚗🚙🚘👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
V8, yes
John Nettles had them all. A Mondeo, a Jag (well OK, an X-Type), and a Rover 75 (always the best) in Midsummer Murders. And he ate twenty Walnut Whips for lunch every single day.
I like the light wood trim. I think the R type would have a supercharged V6 petrol, I could be wrong.
I thought the XF came out under the current owners, who shall remain nameless at this time.
All the "R" designated Jags had the V8.
@@davidpeters6536 Thank you for the correction, I wasn't sure!
Sorry, but I’d prefer a Rover. Maybe a mk1 800 or a pre-93 R8 200. Far more interesting 👍
They're not that comparable though are they? The 800 is wonderfully built though
This could have been the next 75, apparently Rover did have the car that became the XF on their board and Jaguar took the Project over in 2005 and tbh if there is a car that succeeded the 75/ZT it is the Jaguar XF.
The ford comment at 8:11 is factually wrong these XF's are TATA Jaguar.
I have a silver 2011 5.0 xf na. 250 000 km. In Canada. I have 19 in xk wheels black on it.... a tad wider. Had it since 2015. It's been pretty reliable. Big maintenance cost were spark plugs and a egn coil. Water pump and pipes. Mina gallery exhaust for perfect sound... not too loud. But I have a nagging ambient temp sensor... that keeps failing. Original one worked on and off... new one lasted 2 days. Tried everything except another sensor now codes are off with new water pump.
Oh and. Leather dash is shrunk... not sure if or what I will do. If anything.
I also put on black grill. Black hood vents. Xfrs rear diffuser and front air splitter .
And lastly. A v deck spoiler.
Got one with 150K on it. Brutal Quick. Only gave £1500 for it so smoke about in it.
I've had a 4.0 V8 s type and I've now got the XF-S. The s type was trouble free until it threw it's timing chain and destroyed the engine. The XF however, faulty connector in the fuel sender unit, faulty interior lights, all fixed now. But now the dreaded alternator failure 🙈 Still a lovely car though.
Restricted performance is typical on Jag XF’s 3L engine, after replacing throttle body it was actuator to turbo causing this issue. Since fixed resolved problem and lack of info on line how to fix
I had one of those it was fab. I want another one.
Have to say I'm not sure what you're seeing when you say you like the S-Type. As a J. May said, "it has a face like a smacked bottom". The X-Type facelift looks pretty ace though, especially as an estate.
These are a nice looking well appointed car , but very affordable for a reason:- They will constantly be chucking up EML's and when you need to replace something it'll cost you an arm and a leg.
They're a JLR product, which means fashion over form. Fine if you've got deep pockets , but for most folk an absolute bag of worry as a daily driver.
I'm with you Captain , S-Type every time. It might be a dressed up Ford like the X-Type , but that's make it fixable my more people at less extortionate prices.
Tempting as they are, I'd run a mile, then get a taxi to take me further away from the temptation of buying one!
I helped set up the ride and handling on that. Very capable machine, and if I ever had another Jaaaaaag it'll either be another XJ6 or an XF, as it still felt like a Jaaaaagg. PS, did you forget your wallet? Its Jag law!
Roger Moore with two raised eyebrows looks alarmingly like Mr. Bean.
get a cheap Bluetooth obd scanner like i have and then you just leave it plugged in and connected to your phone so you can reset it in 10 seconds mine only does it in race mode but i have mine de cat and mapped to 330 bhp so i don't need race mode its about 1 sec faster to 60 than a normal one in race
Lovely car though I do prefer the pre-facelight model.
I own an alfa romeo 159 and they kind of share the same presence
I would love to drive one
@@ProjectNigel is nice but, selesspeed is an old transmission, it has a kind of hesitansion on the first gears...and it lacks an engine like yours for sure , mine is 2.2 n.a. 0-100 8.x seconds.
Cat with Diesel?? Or Diesel with 'Cat?' 🚗🇬🇧
Would you test a V8 petrol-engined XF?
Of course
Does anyone know if the 2012 model has the option of having bluetooth music streaming?
Yes my 2012 has Bluetooth music streaming as standard with the meridian sound system
Agree, except there’s NOTHING special about the xtype abomination Mr Boucket
Until like the cam covers split giving limited performance and it’s two days work to replace them where EVERY bolt is total basted to get to , and ulez bills
It seems as though these cars drive smoothly and go well. However, with absolutely no disrespect to the owner or anyone who has one, to me this shape just doesn't say 'Jaguar'. You mentioned that it felt a bit like a Mondeo and I think it looks somewhat like one too! I also prefer the S Type, which I think had a touch of the Rover 75 about it!
Funnily enough, in about 2009 when the XF first came out, my sister looked at my boss's then-new XF and she said in front of him, "is this the new-shape Vectra my brother looked at yesterday?" He was not-at-all impressed. Though to be fair, it does look a bit Vectra-like from some angles, like around the side-window area and the doors. The Jag most definitely would not feel like a Vectra though. Any Mondeo would be a far better car.
Insignia, yes I can understand that - they all seem to be a similar generic shape. Perhaps its the way of the world but with these cars I'd need to look at the badge to know the make whereas previously Jaguars were distinctive and instantly recognisable.
f you took the badges off it would be hard to guess it was a Jag. Interior wood needs to be bur walnut, not this IKEA type stuff.
What year was This car
It's not a turbo, it's twin superchargers, developing about 285 bhp, it's why when you remap the engine you can get up to about 330bhp depending on the map Edit, Superchargers on the petrol, turbos on the diesel
No it's 2 turbos. Petrol xfr is super charged.
Definitely twin turbo. It's the diesel S model
@@JeanTheron-cf8zl definitely :)
