End of the Jaguar sedan? XF quietly culled in SA
Jaguar South Africa has silently pulled the plug on the XF, meaning the British firm’s local range no longer features a single sedan…
Despite being known for its luxury sedans, Jaguar South Africa’s line-up no longer features this body style. The XF was the last remaining saloon in the local range, but it has now been put out to pasture.
Although production of the X260-generation XF seemingly continues for some markets, Jaguar SA has confirmed to Cars.co.za the model “is no longer available in South Africa”. We looked back at the sales figures reported to Naamsa and found just four examples of the XF have been registered locally over the past six months.
The news means the local line-up now comprises three SUVs (the E-Pace, F-Pace and electric I-Pace) along with the 2-seater F-Type, which is itself heading into a final year of production. Of course, the Whitley-based automaker has big plans to transform into a fully electric brand by 2025, so its range will change markedly in the next couple of years.
As a reminder, this version of the XF debuted in 2015 before arriving on local shores the following year, where it squared up to the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The facelifted version touched down in 2021, before the R-Dynamic Black model joined the line-up later that year.
In South Africa, the refreshed XF range included two 4-cylinder engine options: a 2.0-litre petrol unit (184 kW and 365 Nm) in the P250 and a likewise 2.0-litre turbodiesel mill (147 kW and 430 Nm) in the D200. Before it was discontinued locally, the XF had a starting price of R1 235 600.

Jaguar XF and XE back on sale as JLR chip shortage eases
Cheaper Jaguar and Land Rover models come back on stream after sustained period of restricted production
Jaguar Land Rover is gradually reopening order books on cheaper models most affected by the chip crisis, including the Jaguar XE and Jaguar XF saloons, UK sales director Paddy McGillycuddy has said.
JLR in recent months has prioritised its limited chip supply for its three largest, most profitable models: the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Land Rover Defender. As a consequence, 75% of JLR’s 200,000-plus forward orders globally are for those three models, the company has said. The same is true of the 50,000-order backlog in the UK, McGillycuddy told Autocar.
The strategy has meant customers have been unable to order certain core JLR models, or faced delivery times stretching over 12 months. “In managing our chip supply, we had to prioritise where chips go,” McGillycuddy said. “So for Discovery Sport, we restricted ordering down to a limited number of derivatives.”

Jaguar Is Killing Its Last Gas Cars To Make Room For An EV Lineup
Jaguar plans to continue selling cars that have already been built, though.
As far as legacy automakers go, Jaguar was relatively early to the electric vehicle game with the I-Pace. It was never a big seller, especially not here in the U.S., but it did exist. And the I-Pace was just the first step toward Jaguar going all-electric. Instead of continuing production of the rest of its lineup until the new EVs are ready, though, Joe Eberhardt, president and CEO of JLR North America, told Road & Track that the British automaker plans to go ahead and kill off its entire gas-powered lineup.
Speaking to the magazine, Eberhardt said:
The majority of our products cease production in June, but they will be on sale for a much longer time. We will have a production schedule that enables us to have a continuous supply of vehicles until the new cars come … We’re trying to time it so we have enough volume to take us through to the launch of the new product and have a clean handover. Whether it will be as perfectly planned as that, we’ll see – maybe we’ll sell out more quickly, or maybe it will take a little longer to sell through the current inventory. But the plan is to sunset the current product portfolio and then launch the new ones.
