Choose Your XF

The XF´s choice of four outstanding engines means the perfect powertrain for every driver preference. It offers everything from one of the most refined diesels in its class, the 2.7-litre V6 turbodiesel, through a choice of 3.0-litre V6 and 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 petrol, to a 4.2-litre supercharged V8 petrol with 416hp. And whatever the choice, they all offer refinement, flexibility and outstanding performance.

The XF is available in three trim levels: Luxury, Premium Luxury and SV8.  Luxury is available with either petrol or diesel V6 engines, Premium Luxury with petrol or diesel V6 or the naturally aspirated V8, with the supercharged V8 reserved for SV8. 

2.7 Litre V6 Diesel

Offered in Luxury and Premium Luxury models the Euro IV compliant 207hp 2.7-litre 24-valve V6 turbodiesel with 435Nm of torque, combines ultra high-pressure common rail direct injection with multiple-phase piezo-electric injection control.

The result is smoother, quieter delivery of power, improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions - including 37.6 mpg combined Fuel Economy and a CO2 output of 199g/km.

3.0 Litre V6 Petrol

Also offered in Luxury and Premium Luxury models, the XF´s superb 3.0-litre V6 petrol produces 238hp, with more than eighty per cent of its peak torque spread across almost its whole speed range.

Continuously variable camshaft phasing and variable geometry intakes speed responses and improve performance at all engine speeds.

But the same features also reduce emissions, while class-leading torsional stiffness minimises noise and maximises reliability.

4.2 Litre Naturally Aspirated V8 Petrol

The XF´s 4.2-litre petrol V8s, with or without supercharger, are the same highly regarded engines that power Jaguar´s XK and XKR sports cars.

Compact and light in weight, but big on performance and refinement, both feature all-aluminium construction, variable camshaft phasing, four overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. The naturally aspirated version in the Premium Luxury XF develops 298hp and 411 Nm of torque, with wonderful refinement, deep character and effortless performance.

The V8´s exhaust system has been completely retuned to remain quiet at cruising speeds but deliver a substantially more purposeful V8 roar under hard acceleration.

4.2 Litre Supercharged V8 Petrol

The beauty of mechanically-driven supercharging is massive torque and instant, linear responses.

The XF´s supercharged V8, available only in the SV8, uses a rotor-type supercharger, driven from the crankshaft,  with helical rotor gears for low noise and coated rotors for high efficiency.

It develops 416hp, and up to 560Nm of torque, with at least 86 per cent of that mighty torque peak available all the way from 2000rpm through to maximum engine speed.
