2019 Jaguar XF: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The most important change for the 2019 Jaguar XF is that its 10-inch touchscreen became standard across the lineup. This was a light update rather than a redesign, with cabin improvements, revised trim choices, and some engine-lineup changes.
About the 2019 Jaguar XF
2nd generation XF (X260), pre-refresh model year; fourth U.S. model year for the sedan and second U.S. model year for the Sportbrake.
Jaguar positions the XF as a midsize sport sedan and wagon that blends sharp handling with a more elegant, less conservative look than its German rivals. The model’s identity is a long-distance luxury car that still feels driver-focused, with lightweight construction, rear-drive-based proportions, and a cabin that emphasizes design as much as technology. The Sportbrake adds real cargo usefulness without losing the XF’s low, sleek shape.
The 2019 XF ranged from understated Premium sedans with diesel or turbocharged gas engines to better-equipped Prestige models with leather, heated seats, navigation, and parking sensors. The 300 Sport added dark gray exterior details and yellow cabin accents around a 296-hp turbo four, while the XF S paired a 380-hp supercharged V6 with AWD and sport-focused suspension tuning. The Sportbrake wagon combined a long roof and practical cargo features with standard AWD.
