2014 Jaguar XF: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2014 Jaguar XF is the arrival of the limited-production XFR-S, a 550-hp performance flagship with track-focused chassis tuning. The rest of the range receives only minor equipment and option-package updates.
About the 2014 Jaguar XF
1st generation XF (X250), in the facelifted 2012-2015 phase; late-cycle year before the all-new 2016 XF.
Jaguar positioned the XF as a sporting mid-size luxury sedan that mixed sleek, coupe-like styling with a dramatic cabin and a broad range of engines. The appeal was personality as much as performance: rear-drive balance, distinctive interior details like the rotary shifter and opening center vents, and a lineup that stretched from an efficient turbo four to very serious V8 performance. Compared with German rivals, the XF sold more on style, character, and driving feel than on a long checklist of gadgets.
The 2014 XF ranges from a comfort-focused luxury sedan to several increasingly serious performance models. The XF Supercharged has a 470-hp V8 and a richly equipped cabin, while the 510-hp XFR adds sport seats and more aggressive bodywork. At the top, the roughly 100-car XFR-S pairs a 550-hp supercharged V8 with carbon-fiber aerodynamic parts, upgraded brakes, and specially tuned suspension.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The new XFR-S brings a 550-hp supercharged 5.0-liter V8 and an eight-speed Quickshift automatic to the top of the range. Flexible-fuel powertrains join the XF and XFR-S offerings for 2014.
Styling
The XFR-S receives its own more aggressive bodywork, including carbon-fiber aerodynamic parts designed for stability at high speeds.
Safety
A new Vision Pack groups blind-spot monitoring with adaptive lighting features. There is no model-wide safety-suite overhaul.
Tech
The regular XF gains standard proximity keyless entry. Jaguar also revises the Premium Pack with voice control.
Structural
The XFR-S receives a retuned adaptive suspension, recalibrated active differential, upgraded brakes, and other chassis changes aimed at track use and high-speed stability.
