2015 Jaguar XF: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Jaguar XF’s biggest change is a reshuffled trim lineup: XF Portfolio is the renamed continuation of the prior XF, while XF Premium and XF Sport join the range. Standard equipment also expands, but the engines, platform, and overall design largely carry over.
About the 2015 Jaguar XF
1st generation XF (X250), facelift era, final model year before the all-new 2016 second generation.
Jaguar positioned the XF as a midsize luxury sport sedan with a sleeker, more emotional look than the usual German choices. The core appeal was a coupe-like shape, a rich cabin, rear-drive-based dynamics, and a broad engine range that stretched from a turbo four-cylinder to supercharged V8 performance models. For most shoppers, the XF’s differentiator was style and character: it aimed to feel more distinctive and more driver-focused than a typical executive sedan without giving up comfort.
The XF Premium is the simpler, comfort-focused entry point, with a 240-hp turbo four-cylinder engine and luxury basics such as a sunroof and Meridian audio. The 340-hp V6 range splits into the softer, leather-lined Portfolio and the darker-looking Sport with sport seats and 20-inch wheels. V8 performance runs from the 470-hp XF Supercharged through the 510-hp XFR to the 550-hp XFR-S.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The XFR-S changes from flexible-fuel capability to gasoline-only. The broader engine range otherwise carries over with turbocharged four-cylinder, supercharged V6, and supercharged V8 choices.
Styling
The new XF Sport brings black exterior trim, piano-black cabin trim, sport seats, and 20-inch wheels, while Portfolio takes a warmer, comfort-focused approach. The XFR also gains standard red brake calipers.
Safety
Automatic high beams become standard on the XF Supercharged rather than optional.
Tech
Standard equipment expands across much of the lineup, with the largest increase on the entry-level four-cylinder XF Premium. Portfolio also gives the middle of the range a more comfort-focused equipment package.
