2023 Jaguar XF: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2023 Jaguar XF is standard adaptive cruise control across the full lineup. Otherwise, this is a light update with the same three trims, engines, and overall design as 2022.
About the 2023 Jaguar XF
2nd-generation XF (X260, 2016-2024); 2023 is the third US model year after the 2021 exterior/interior refresh.
Jaguar positions the XF as a stylish midsize luxury sedan that stands apart from German rivals with a calmer, more design-led cabin and a distinctly British look. The appeal is not sheer screen count or maximum performance; it is a roomy, elegant sedan with a wide 11.4-inch touchscreen, upscale materials, and a smooth, composed driving character. For most shoppers, the XF is the choice for style and cabin atmosphere first, with solid everyday comfort and useful driver-assistance tech built in.
The P250 S is the straightforward luxury version, pairing rear-wheel drive with heated leather seats, a panoramic roof, and an 11.4-inch touchscreen. The P250 SE adds convenience features such as driver-seat and mirror memory, while the P300 R-Dynamic SE is the sportier model with 296 horsepower, all-wheel drive, black exterior details, and sport seats. Every trim has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
