The second-generation Jaguar XF, codenamed X260, debuted for the 2016 model year with an all-new aluminum-intensive architecture. This platform, shared with the XE and F-Pace, made the XF up to 265 lbs lighter than its predecessor, improving both efficiency and agility. Powertrains included Jaguar's 2.0L Ingenium 4-cylinder engines in gasoline and diesel forms, alongside the desirable 3.0L supercharged V6 from the F-Type, offered with up to 380 hp in the XF S.
The X260 is an appealing modern luxury car for its sophisticated styling and engaging driving dynamics that feel sharper than many of its German counterparts. The supercharged V6 models are the clear enthusiast choice, delivering strong performance and a satisfying soundtrack. Available all-wheel drive and a Sportbrake wagon variant add practicality, making the XF a versatile and stylish choice for a daily driver.
Market values reflect typical modern luxury car depreciation, making the X260 a strong bargain. With an average sale price around $26,000 for 2016-2020 models, these cars offer a lot of performance and luxury for the money. The wide price range from $13,000 to $44,000 is driven by year, mileage, condition, and powertrain, with later V6 S models commanding the highest prices.
Buying Tips
- Check the infotainment system's responsiveness. The early InControl Touch system can be slow; the upgraded InControl Touch Pro with its widescreen is much better.
- The 3.0L supercharged V6 uses plastic coolant pipes under the supercharger that can crack with age. Look for service records showing they've been replaced.
- Test all electronic features thoroughly. The pop-up gear selector, motorized vents, and other accessories can be prone to failure.
- Inspect the aluminum body panels carefully. Dents and accident damage are more expensive to repair correctly than on a steel-bodied car.
- Listen for any clunks or rattles from the suspension on a test drive, as worn control arm bushings are a common issue.
Prices for traded examples range from $13,000 for early models to $44,000 for newer, high-specification variants.
