Jaguar launches Black Edition models with extra kit

XE, XF and F-Pace Black Edition models get black-themed options, including painted alloys, privacy glass and styling kit

Jaguar has launched Black Edition models for the best-sellers of its range, the XE, XF and F-Pace, with optional extras included as standard.

Black Edition trim adds black alloy wheels, a Black Pack exterior styling kit, parking sensors and a reversing camera, privacy glass and metallic paint.

R-Sport models also get a heated front windscreen, heated washer jets and heated front and rear seats, features that are usually part of the optional Cold Climate Pack.

The F-Pace R-Sport Black Edition also features a panoramic roof. Jaguar claims this takes the F-Pace R-Sport Black Edition's savings to £2675 over a regular F-Pace R-Sport with the same options added.

Jaguar is offering the models as high-spec trim levels with reduced pricing; they are being offered at prices bolstered with half the value of the options fitted.

Confusingly, Black Edition cars are available not only in black, but also grey, red, white, and blue, with their name being a reference to the American tradition of 'Black Friday' discounting.

Although only available for a limited time, Black Edition models will remain on sale into 2018 and are not limited by number. There are no plans for an E-Pace Black Edition.

Jaguar is later to the Black Edition game than many, with Audi, Honda, KTM, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche, Skoda, Vauxhall and Volkswagen all having dallied with such cars in the past.

During Jaguar's Black Event, which takes place between 24 and 26 November, boosted PCP finance contributions of £6500 and £12,088 are available on the F-Type and XJ, as well as up to £5300 on the XE, up to £6400 on the XF and up to £3500 on the F-Pace.

Jaguar XF Sportbrake 25t R-Sport 2017 review

Should I buy one?

The petrol XF Sportbrake is no express wagon but, instead, majors on practicality, comfort and tidy handling – this makes it all the more of a shame that it isn't going to get 3.0-litre petrol unit found in the saloon S. Nonetheless, if it is a petrol engine you must have in your wagon, then the Sportbrake is dynamically the best out of its rivals, although the 5 Series Touring is a better all-rounder and has a much more tactile interior.

Jaguar confirms XF Chequered Flag edition for South Africa

Jaguar has revealed the new XF Chequered Flag special edition model as part of the latest updates to its XF sedan range, confirming it will launch in South Africa in the second quarter of 2019.

Much like the F-Type derivative unveiled in 2018, this special XF will come fitted with a number of unique details and some extra standard equipment.

The Chequered Flag edition boasts unique badging on the side vents, a sportier front bumper, body-coloured side sills, a boot spoiler and 18-inch “Chalice” alloy wheels finished in gloss-black. The special edition model can be specified in Yulong White, Santorini Black or Eiger Grey paint.

Inside the XF Chequered Flag edition you’ll find branded treadplates, a “Dark Hex” aluminium instrument panel and R-Sport leather upholstery with black or red stitching. Standard features include navigation with live traffic updates, a 12,3-inch digital gauge cluster and keyless entry.

The Chequered Flag edition will be available with the 184 kW and 221 kW turbocharged 2,0-litre four-cylinder petrol engines or the 132 kW 2,0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel.

As for updates to the rest of the range, the XF will now feature Android Auto and Apple Car Play as standard thanks to a new smartphone pack.

Jaguar XF Sportbrake 300 R-Sport 2019 UK review

Should I buy one?

If you want a fast XF Sportbrake, you might also consider the top-spec diesel. You can't get it in the same R-Sport trim as the model tested here, so no sports suspension, and it's £5000 more expensive, but it is a V6 and packs a monstrous 516 lb ft of torque. It's also rear-drive only – arguably it's the firmer, more vivacious 300 that should be offered without the front driveshafts while the V6 diesel better lends itself to four-wheel-drive versaility, but there you go.

If diesel if off the menu, this line-leading petrol XF Sportbrake costs just under £45,000 in R-Sport guise. That makes it less expensive than its closest premium-grade rivals: the marginally quicker BMW 540i xDrive (£51,475) and the more economical diesel Audi A6 Avant 50 TDI (£49,525). Two fewer cylinders than either rival does mean the Sportbrake isn't quite as cultured on the move, however, even if strong performance is present and correct.

What isn't present is a cabin with the materials quality and digital brilliance to match those rivals. It's a familiar story for Jaguar, which seems to get within touching distance of the best interior in the class just in time for a new generation of 5 Series, E-Class et al to move the game on.

This is more easily forgivable in the smaller XE. In the luxurious class the XF inhabits, handling polished to a shine that matches the swoopingly handsome exterior metalwork will suffice for only a small number of potential customers. They will love this quickest of XF Sportbrake models for those qualities. For the majority, however, Jaguar's likeable wagon remains a left-field, and increasingly aged, option.

Nearly-new buying guide: Jaguar XF

Less than £11,000 is enough to buy a roomy and luxurious Mk2 XF. Tempted?

The XF saloon under the microscope here plays the evolutionary card better even than a BMW 5 Series, being almost indistinguishable from the original XF of 2008-15 that preceded it. Look harder, though, and under its stylish body it marks a genuinely new chapter in the model’s story.

Its aluminium-rich structure is lighter and stronger, its engines are a new generation of powerplants named Ingenium, the cabin is roomier and it features smarter infotainment and better materials.

Prices for the first 2015-registered cars open at around £12,500 for the lowest-powered diesel, the 161bhp 2.0-litre, with around 60,000 miles. If mileage isn’t a worry, you can buy cheaper still, with a 112,000-mile 2016-reg example we found costing just £10,800.

That’s from an independent dealer, by the way. At the time of writing, the cheapest official Jaguar approved used XF was a 2014-reg 2.2 TD, a Mk1 model, with 50,000 miles for £12,500.

Given how similar the two generations look, it helps to know, when searching for an early Mk2 car, that its dominant engines are 2.0-litre diesels, whereas Mk1 cars are 2.2s. As with the Mk1, the Mk2 XF is bought new as a business tool. It’s why the 2.0-litre diesel engine – in 161bhp, top-selling 178bhp and, launched in 2017, 237bhp outputs – dominates the used car classifieds.

New Jaguar XF: 2020 facelift to get interior overhaul

Jag's Audi A6 rival will receive a raft of technological improvements, first prototypes seen on the road ahead of likely launch early next year

Jaguar is expected to reveal an updated XF before the year is out, and disguised prototypes have finally been caught testing on UK roads.

Following the recently updated XE and tipped to arrive before similar revisions to the F-Pace SUV early next year, the executive car will benefit from design updates along with a raft of technological improvements aimed at restoring its competitive edge to the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6.

Speaking to Autocar earlier this year at the new XE’s unveiling, senior product planning manager Wayne Darley said the XF was “the next priority”.

Jag's Audi A6 rival will receive a raft of technological improvements and new look to match the smaller XE

Jaguar is readying an extensive mid-life upgrade for its XF range, and we've now seen the Sportbrake variant testing with minimal disguise.

Following the updated XE and tipped to arrive before similar revisions to the F-Pace SUV in the coming months, the executive car will benefit from design updates along with a raft of technological improvements aimed at restoring its competitive edge to the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6.

These new images reveal that the facelift will bring new bumpers at the front and rear, as well as slimmer headlights in line with the recently facelifted F-Type.

Nearly new buying guide: Jaguar XF Sportbrake

Since 2016, the second-generation Sportbrake has been a fine alternative to an SUV

It might look a million dollars but you can pick up a good example of the handsome second-gen Jaguar XF Sportbrake for around £18,000, which seems like an exceedingly healthy return. What you’ll be getting is a fine-handling, well-equipped and practical estate that’ll cut a dash on your driveway for thousands less than a dynamically compromised SUV of a similar age.

Under the elegant bonnet, there’s a choice of six engines. The petrols on offer are 247bhp and 298bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder units. Propping up the diesel range are 161bhp and 178bhp 2.0-litre engines, while a twin-turbocharged version produces 237bhp. Topping the range is a silky-smooth twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6.

Jaguar XF

The dynamic new Jaguar XF Saloon and XF Sportbrake feature enhanced exteriors, an all-new interior incorporating luxurious new materials, and seamlessly integrated, connected and future-proof technologies. New XF showcases contemporary British design and engineering at its best.

A next-generation, 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium turbocharged diesel engine featuring Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology and the latest 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine power the new Jaguar XF, providing enhanced efficiency with strong performance.

The exterior features a new front bumper with larger and lower air intakes for increased visual width. This visual width is enhanced by a wider front grille featuring a mesh design detail inspired by Jaguar's heritage logo. The side fender vents now feature the iconic Leaper emblem, demonstrating the exceptional attention to detail found right across the vehicle.

New super slim all-LED quad headlights with 'Double J' Daytime Running Light (DRL) signatures are available with optional Pixel LED technology. With Adaptive Driving Beam capability, which evaluates the road ahead and automatically adapts the high beam light to mask oncoming traffic or traffic signs, the system can create varying light beam patterns by selecting different LED segments to optimise visibility without distracting other drivers.

Premium LED technology is fitted as standard across the range and is available with Auto High Beam Assist on SE and HSE models. The technology uses the forward-facing camera to automatically switch between high and low beam, ensuring that oncoming drivers aren't dazzled. Animated Directional Indicators are also available as an option upgrade.

Jaguar announces new strategy to grow XE and XF sales

Brand’s two saloons receive significant price cuts and new buying process

Jaguar has significantly reduced the price of its XE and XF models, as it targets increased retail sales while creating a more “open approach” to pricing.

The XE and XF saloons have long been the weakest link in Jaguar’s line-up as demand turned to SUVs. However, the brand is committed to the models - at least for now - and this move is intended to help rejuvenate sales and better compete with rivals such as the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6.

Jaguar sales director Scott Dicken said: “This is one of the more competitive segments of the automotive industry especially for premium. Taking on BMW and Mercedes in these segments is a really big challenge which is why we’re looking at it more holistically in terms of strategy.”

The starting price of the latest XF has been cut from £34,995 to £32,585, an 18% reduction, while the updated XE will cost £29,365, down from £34,600, a 16% reduction. XF rival, the BMW 5 Series, starts at £38,600 and the XE-rivalling 3 Series begins at £31,110.

The price reductions have largely been achieved by streamlining the number of derivatives for both models: the XF’s options have decreased from 64 to 28 while the XE’s have dropped from 24 to 13. The move is intended to “reduce manufacturing complexity and retain the most popular features loved by customers”, said Jaguar.

Refreshed Jaguar XF sedan revealed ... and SA engine range confirmed

The facelifted Jaguar XF has been revealed, while the British firm’s local arm also confirming the engine range for South Africa.

Expected to arrive on local roads in “early” 2021 as a rival to the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the updated XF has received updates inside and out. However, the company appears to have dropped six-cylinder power.

So, which engines will be included in the SA range? Well, three powertrain options will be available, each displacing 2,0 litres, using four cylinders (and turbocharging) and employing an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The diesel-powered D200 offers 147 kW (up 15 kW) and 430 N.m to the rear axle, while the petrol options include the likewise rear-driven P250 (with 183 kW and 365 N.m) and the all-paw P300 (with 221 kW and 400 N.m). The D200 will hit 100 km/h from standstill in a claimed 7,6 seconds, while the P200 completes the sprint in a claimed 6,9 seconds (the P300, meanwhile, has a listed time of 6,1 seconds).

Jaguar XE And XF Sportbrake Wagon: Dead

Just last year we were happily shocked to hear that the Jaguar XF Sportbrake, a stunning, supercharged sleeper power wagon most people probably don’t even know they can buy in America, was returning for another year. Well, that was fun while it lasted.

We only got the Sportbrake for three model years, starting in 2018, and it will now end with the 2020 model year. The car is dead in the U.S., but not in its home market over in Europe, of course. It’s just us that suck at buying enough cool cars to keep them relevant.

The first clue that the Sportbrake was headed for the door was this week’s reveal of the lightly updated 2021 Jaguar XF sedan, on which the Sportbrake is based. Since Jaguar didn’t say anything about an updated wagon in the U.S. press release, it seemed like an unfortunate clue, especially as a new European model had already been revealed.

And then the automaker confirmed the wagon’s American demise to Roadshow:

“We will no longer be offering the XF Sportbrake in the US,” a Jaguar spokesperson told Roadshow via email.

Refreshed Jaguar XF sedan range: prices for South Africa revealed

The facelifted Jaguar XF range is scheduled to touch down in South Africa early in 2021 but we can already share pricing with you.

The line-up kicks off at R1 032 622 and runs through to R1 212 184, before options. Check out full pricing at the bottom of this story (hat-tip to the folks over at duoporta.com).

Again set to take on the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the updated XF has received a host of updates, inside and out. Interestingly, though, the company has dropped the 280 kW supercharged 3,0-litre V6 petrol engine from the range.

That means there’s now a choice of one turbodiesel unit and one turbocharged petrol mill (though the latter is offered in two states of tune), each featuring four cylinders, displacing 2,0 litres and employing an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Pricing:

Jaguar XF D200 S: R1 032 622
Jaguar XF D200 R-Dynamic SE: R1 115 222
Jaguar XF D200 R-Dynamic HSE: R1 162 022
