About the 2009 Jaguar XF
1st generation XF (X250), first U.S. model year.
Jaguar positions the XF as a sportier, more design-led alternative to the established German midsize luxury sedans. The core appeal is a sleek four-door shape, a distinctive cabin with modern controls and materials, and strong V8 performance rather than a conservative executive-sedan feel. For most shoppers, the XF stands out because it feels more dramatic and more style-focused than many rivals from the same period.
The XF arrives as a sleek midsize luxury sedan with a coupe-like roofline and a cabin centered on touchscreen controls, blue ambient lighting, and touch-sensitive details. Luxury and Premium Luxury use a 300-hp V8, with Premium Luxury adding navigation and richer materials. The Supercharged pairs a 420-hp supercharged V8 with navigation, heated and cooled front seats, blind-spot monitoring, a rearview camera, and premium surround-sound audio.
