2017 Jaguar XF: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2017 Jaguar XF’s biggest change is a new 180-hp turbo-diesel four-cylinder sold across four 20d trims. This is otherwise a light trim-and-powertrain update to the second-generation sedan introduced for 2016.
About the 2017 Jaguar XF
2nd generation Jaguar XF (X260), second U.S. model year after the 2016 full redesign; pre-refresh year.
Jaguar positions the XF as a midsize luxury sport sedan that mixes elegant styling, a roomy cabin, and lighter-weight aluminum construction with a more driver-focused feel than many comfort-first rivals. In Jaguar’s own launch language, it blends design, technology, and refinement, while reviewers highlight its sharp steering, generous trunk, and distinctive cabin atmosphere. For most buyers, the XF is the stylish alternative to the usual German sedans, with a stronger sense of personality and road feel.
The 20d range is the efficiency-focused side of the 2017 XF lineup, while the 340-hp 35t models emphasize stronger V6 performance. Prestige trims add leather, heated front seats, parking sensors, and navigation, while R-Sport models pair sportier trim with lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. The XF S remains the performance flagship with a 380-hp supercharged V6, configurable driving settings, and 20-inch wheels.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A 180-hp turbo-diesel 2.0-liter four-cylinder joined the U.S. lineup with an eight-speed automatic. It powers the 20d, 20d Premium, 20d Prestige, and 20d R-Sport.
Trim lineup
The four 20d trims and XF 35t Premium joined the range. Three gas trims received simpler names: 3.5t Premium became 35t, 3.5t Prestige became 35t Prestige, and 3.5t R-Sport became 35t R-Sport.
