All of this is well and good, but the best part of having a Jaguar is exactly that, having a Jaguar.
My uncle has a British Racing Green Jag X-Type â€" not the most famous or brilliant model in the marque’s history, and a product of a brand that lost its way for a while. It may have more in common with an old Ford Mondeo than a Mk-II or XK120, but there’s still a leaper on the bonnet and a key that says Jaguar â€" and for my uncle, that is what is important.
On paper too, the 2015 Jaguar XF might not be the ‘best’ car in the segment, but it too has the one thing that other brands simply will never have â€" the Jaguar name.
While list prices of the XF range start at just under $75,000 for the 2.0-litre petrol, and considering our car as tested should cost $103,000 before on-road charges, some impressive deals can be had.
To put the V6 Jag’s bang-for-buck into perspective, to get similar power and torque from a BMW 535d M-Sport (230kW/630Nm) would see your shopping start at $127,000 before options and on-road costs.
Jaguar is officially bundling drive-away pricing at the moment and we even did a ring around a few dealers to find that a car like our XF V6 Diesel here could be had on the road for around $90,000. That is a lot of value for a car that ticks many of the boxes you need from a luxury, executive saloon, combined with the personal statement that only a Jaguar can make.
