Jaguar is the luxury vehicle brand of Jaguar Land Rover, a British multinational car manufacturer with its headquarters in Whitley, Coventry, England.

The 2018 Jaguar XF is a luxury midsize sedan that combines elegant design, sophisticated technology, and a range of powerful engines. Known for its refined interior, engaging driving dynamics, and upscale features, the Jaguar XF competes in the premium sedan segment. Here's an overview of the 2018 Jaguar XF:

Engine Options: The 2018 XF offered a variety of engine choices:

A 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 247 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque.

A 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine with two power outputs: 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque or 380 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque.

A high-performance 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine with 575 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque (available in the XFR and XFR-S models).

Rear-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive: The XF was available with both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations, providing flexibility to buyers based on their driving preferences and needs.

Trim Levels: The 2018 XF was offered in various trim levels, including the base Premium, Prestige, R-Sport, S, and the high-performance XFR and XFR-S models. Each trim level offered unique features and performance characteristics.

Interior: The XF featured a luxurious and well-crafted interior with high-quality materials and attention to detail. It offered comfortable seating for passengers and a range of premium options, including leather upholstery and wood trim.

Infotainment and Technology: The vehicle came equipped with Jaguar's InControl Touch Pro infotainment system, which included an 8-inch touchscreen display, navigation, smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility), and available upgrades such as a 10-inch touchscreen and a premium Meridian sound system.

Safety: Standard safety features included multiple airbags, stability control, anti-lock brakes, and a rearview camera. Advanced driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision warning were available on higher trims.

Performance: The XF's performance was a highlight, with the supercharged V6 and V8 engines providing strong acceleration and dynamic handling. The adaptive suspension system offered a balance between ride comfort and sporty handling characteristics.

Fuel Efficiency: Fuel economy varied depending on the engine and drivetrain configuration. The base 2.0-liter engine typically achieved around 20-25 miles per gallon (MPG) in the city and 28-33 MPG on the highway, while the more powerful V6 and V8 engines offered slightly lower efficiency.

Luxury and Style: The 2018 Jaguar XF was known for its striking design, both inside and out. It combined British luxury with a sporty and elegant flair, making it an attractive option for those seeking a premium sedan.

The 2018 Jaguar XF offered a blend of luxury, performance, and technology, making it a competitive choice in the midsize luxury sedan segment. As with any used vehicle purchase, it's essential to research the specific trim level and options of the vehicle you're interested in and consider having a trusted mechanic inspect it before making a purchase decision.

Product Reviews:


I have a 2018 f-pace diesel purchased in 2019. Not a day goes by that I don't break out into a smile while driving it. Yes, fit and finish could be not high end, after all it is a Jaguar, but all cars nowadays are built with compromises. My wife had a 2018 Jeep Wrangler, and if you want to see horrifying build quality buy one. How a big v6 can be so gutless is unexplainable. Back to the F-Pace, 2 liter diesel weighing only 300lbs... Takes you to 80mph very quickly and had returned up to 40mpg. This is the best looking SUV on the market, and the lay flat rear seats make cargo space INCREDIBLE, it fit a 65" tv no problem. So far I'm loving it... Knock on wood... NO ISSUES! I would recommend this car to anyone, service so far has been great.

I have a 2013 Jaguar Premium Edition. I leased it brand-new from Heritage Jaguar. The car has 3700 miles on it. My brake pads' low warning light came on at 3600 miles. I took it to Jaguar of Freeport and they claimed my driving was the cause of my brake pads needing to be changed. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. They refused to change the pads which were barely worn. The sensors are placed very close to the pads. This will definitely be my last Jaguar. My lease ends in September of 2016, so I'll have to put up with it until then.

I Just bought a 2011 XJL which still had some remaining warranty but I also got extended warranty as well. Same week the car went in to the shop, engine vibrations, weird idling, seems it's going to shut off when I'm in reverse, XM radio was cutting out, speaker was cracked. I took it into the dealership at Newport Beach Jaguar, a few days after I bought it because the massage on driver side was making a loud noise. They replaced it and I told them about the cracked speaker but they couldn't hear it and I also complained about a rough idling with vibration and a check engine light came on. Well they, God knows what they did but supposedly they fixed it. I picked up my car and drove it home and two days later the same problem came back check engine light and the vibration. I drove it back to Newport Beach and left it with them for 12 days. They said they changed the spark plugs as they noticed there was some leak from a compressed washer that sits around the spark plug. I said ok whatever just give me my car back already I miss it. Everything seemed normal until I took and I drove it for max 2 weeks and back again. Now a different dealership got involved and they worked on the fuel injectors saying that they looked bad, changed 4 supposedly and car picked up again. Seemed fine then The idling issue pops up again. I take it in and asked a Jaguar lead mechanic to take in on a ride with me. He did and noticed a slight hesitation and vibration but said close to normal but let's keep it overnight and see. They did and when turned it on next day the engine light came on and the noticed what I was talking about. It's been at the dealership now for 15 days testing and bringing a field service engineer and towards a few days ago I'm starting to get hints that there is a possible engine replacement. I'm out of words after I heard that and I'm not sure how to go about this right now. I've made 2 payments on the car and the dealership had the car more than me. I'm beyond frustrated as this was my next car on the list to get and I got it and so far I have regretted the day that I made that decision.

I purchased a 2002 Jaguar XJ8 2 years ago with 70k miles that has been owned and driven carefully by 1 owner in near-showroom condition. I purchased the 2002 Jaguar XJ8, believing I would be buying a vehicle of quality, a car that would last me at least another 70k miles. Sure, I knew the purchase of a Jaguar came with a hefty upkeep bill, but I would've never even begin to think that the Jaguar transmission would be of such poor quality.Since my purchase 2 years ago, I have put a little under 18k miles of love in it under the warm Florida sun. One day, while driving my 2002 Jaguar XJ8, I had a "Gearbox Fault" appear at a green light. Along with the message came a jolt, as if I have been hit from behind. When I turned my car off and on again, everything was fine for a day or 2, until the message and jolt repeated again after driving on a bumpy road. Long story short, this happened randomly over the course of 2 weeks about 3 times until I decided to take it to the local Jaguar dealership for a computer diagnosis. That day, Jaguar happened to be booked up with appointments, so I made an appointment for the following Friday. The transmission situation was getting worse. By the following Friday, my Jaguar XJ8 was barely accelerating (at about 1 mph until the 4th gear, accelerating slightly faster than when you let go of the break in Drive). However, after an hour drive, I still made it to Jaguar.After 30 minutes of biting my nails and wondering whether the problem was due to transmission failure or something electrical (driving experience felt like a sensor was corrupt), I was told that I have slippage at both gears 2 and 3 and this was due to the Jaguar transmission failure. They happily threw me a quote of $5,500 for a new jaguar transmission and $1,000 for their labor. I kindly declined their generous offer and asked them when does a Jaguar’s transmission usually break down on a 2002 xj8? To which they replied, "usually around 190k-240k miles." I find that hard to believe, being that it was serviced regularly and have never been thrifty on premium oil, premium oil filters, premium gas.etc. I would've understood if the transmission died at 130-170k miles, but at 87,500, almost 3 times less than the expected life!? I have looked around the net and have found other Jaguars that have had their transmission fail at around the 45,000 mile mark. For Jaguar, which at first I took for a brand that produced quality, 45,000 and 88,000 is truly embarrassing. I have had friends that had original Honda transmissions last over 250,000 miles, Three times as much as my prestigious Jaguar XJ8 transmission lasted.My options? Sell the car for scraps (seeing that as of this moment it does not drive at all, only drives in reverse) or have jaguar fix it for $6,500 or pay $2,000 for a used transmission with 10-20k more miles on it and sell it for reduced value or drive it until that transmission is faulty too (which could be at any given moment, knowing Jaguar).One thing's for certain, I will never be purchasing a Jaguar again, nor will I be recommending it to friends. I have owned a 2002 BMW 525 before this and I can't even begin to tell you how much more of an impression the BMW made on me over the Jaguar. Bear in mind my BMW had 130k miles when I sold it.I will be ridding myself of this junk soon and will be purchasing something of quality, something of higher or equal caliber, like a Honda or Kia or something.

Never buy a Jaguar! It is a piece of junk! I will only list the problems I have had. I have already spent enough time and money on this piece of metal. I l0ost all of its internal lights at night on a three hour trip (including odometer and gas gauge). The next morning, they magically work again. I lost air conditioning and other internal electric.When I took it to the shop, they could not fix it. The mechanic said, "Get rid of it; it has too many gremlins running in it." The car only had 40,000 miles on it. Both front door handles have broken off; water would drain down the door panel, and kill the solenoid to open the door. I get in through the back door. I removed the interior panel on the driver door because I could not get out from inside the car.Now I physically have to operate the solenoid. The sunroof is screwed up. The trunk does not lock; anyone can walk and open it. The doors lock and unlock when it rains, or if they feel like it. The kids from our softball team call it "the car that won’t let you out". The battery on the key died, and the only way to get in was to use a slim jim. I have carried the slim jim for almost a year now. I’ve had to use it about eight times--very embarrassing.The transmission is getting ready to go out. I fear taking my 3-year old son in it because it may break down at anytime. The brakes are horrible; I cannot tell you how many times I’ve replaced them. One speaker in the back works; none of the others work anymore. At this moment, it sits in my mother’s garage, two hours away because it won’t stay running. I cannot even get it home to work on it. It has less than 100,000 miles, but most problems started before 40,000 miles. I would literally give it away, if my conscience would not kill me.

2007 XK Convertible AC - Drain hose is plugged and it is a very costly repair. I do not understand after all the complaints to Jaguar, known issues like this are not placed in recall. When a company that charges nearly $80k for a car, do they really need to nickel and dime customers for an $8 part and a repair cost of $1,000? Sad day for customer service.

Purchased my car January of 2020. Brought it in several times throughout the next few months for other repairs. Brought it back in January 2021 for a no heat situation. I was made to feel like I was making it up and that I was a "silly woman" because they couldn't find the problem. Made me drive a vehicle that had no heat in -45 degree weather back home on the highway for over an hour. I then proceeded to bring the vehicle back with the car running the next day to show them that the car indeed had no heat.The car was with them for 3 and a 1/2 months and they still could not fix the problem but the heat started to work so I took the car back. Now it's November of 2022 and I had to bring my vehicle back to a different dealership (Royal Oak) for no heat again as I did not want to deal with that dealership (Glendeer Circle) any longer. I was assured that I would not have the same experience that I had at the other dealership and that they would fix the problem. I have had things shipped broken, in wrong boxes etc. I have had promises made, solutions presented and all have been lies. My car has now been there for an additional 3 months and they still cannot fix the problem. Jaguar has now had my car for a total of 6 1/2 months in a 2 year span with no end in sight.I have tried to resolve this with their head office to no avail. They are absolutely horrendous and just want your money. They have basically told me they can keep my vehicle for as long as necessary until the part/problem is fixed. Which could mean months or years who knows. They have no problem keeping my car for an extended period of time. They have however given me a loaner car so at least I have something to drive but I am paying for a car that I do not have, I am losing sleep, having anxiety attacks and missing out on work because I cannot concentrate on anything other than this situation.The people in charge of dealing/rectifying situations cannot be right. I am wondering how this is ok? How can a dealership do this? I understand we have warranty for a reason but at what point is this not ok? I know we in Canada don't have a lemon law here but come on, 6.5 months is beyond my comprehension. I feel trapped, defeated, taken advantage of and exhausted. I need help in sorting this out as this cannot be ok. Please help.

If you're thinking of a Jaguar, forget it. My wife wanted one for years so in 2015 got her one for her birthday. What a horrible experience and like others have written there isn't enough space in this text block to write all out. Did the online sales. Scheduled a test drive - dealership couldn't even find the car at the appointment. Wife had to return the following day. Salesmen jacked the price by ~4K higher than what was agreed to by email. Plus sold my wife an extended warranty. Car was good for about a year - we learned it's very expensive to maintain. Dealership charged us $170 for an oil change. Most Oil change shops will not work on Jaguars. Car broke down. Timing chain cover gasket failure. Oil squirted on the alternator and battery causing both to fail. Car towed Dealership never called us, We called them numerous times.I called the service desk, service manager and general manager several times each progressively. No one returned my call. Wife had to go to the dealership as I was starting to worry perhaps the car had been stolen. Parts took a week to arrive. Total time in the shop was about two weeks. No loaner. Dealership said no loaner was available - another common complaint. Mechanic's workmanship was a joke. Reinstalled the hood incorrectly causing vibration and bouncing which chipped the paint. Numerous fasteners not reinstalled in the engine compartment. Over the next 8 months we had these issues; Signal light indicating the trunk (boot) was open. Headlight low beam pointed at the ground directly in front of the vehicle - very dangerous condition. Dealership said the soonest appointment was 30 days out. If we wanted a loaner it was 45 days out. The AC started turning itself off and on. Entire car would turn itself off while stopped. Had to use the started to restart the car. On restart it was more like a reboot - systems all had to be reset including radio station and climate control. Fuel filler tube had a recall the dealership never correct. Eco mode stopped working. Another oil leak at the timing chain cover - another two week repair job. Tire monitoring system erroneously signaling a flat tire. Cigar light was fake, order one from the dealership waited a month. New one arrived. Opened box - it was another demo fake one. One door handle was a slightly different color than the rest of car. Logged a complaint with Jaguar HQ customer service - they're a joke. I called the number they provided at least a dozen times over the course of two weeks leaving my case number, name and return phone number. NEVER spoke to anyone. Filed a complaint with Jaguar parent company TaTa Motor. Never received a word from them either. Took the car to another authorized service center - discovered we did Not have an extended warranty. Called the dealership numerous times. No one called back. My wife went to the dealership and they left her waiting for two hrs and she finally got mad and left. This issue is still not resolve, Have zero help from any customer service so guess I'll have to find a consumer/contracts attorney to sue them for the 5K we paid for an extended warranty. Summarize Worst car buying experience I ever had - bar none. Worst quality car I have ever purchased - bar none. A wrecked Yugo would have been better. Do Not buy a Jaguar. They have absolutely lost any resemblance of the Jaguar of days gone past. They're doomed for bankruptcy.

Jaguar XF tires: I currently have my 8th and last Jaguar. Never had a problem until I made the mistake of going to Jaguar of Birmingham. I've had to replace the same tire 3 times. The gearbox failed as well causing my car to stop in the middle of traffic. It was towed to Birmingham Jag. Since that was covered under warranty, I suppose they needed to "find" something that I'd have to pay for. It left Florida with no tire problems, but I was told there was a hole in one that couldn't be patched. Ended up buying a new tire. Within 9 mos I've had to purchase 3 new tires. The last one exploded with such force it damaged the back panel of the car and blew a hole out of the steel wheelbase. I DID NOT run over anything.I contacted Jaguar corporation since the staff at Jag Birmingham are rude, uncaring and useless. Even the manager, Lily. I wasn't offered a loaner either time. After the explosion, the car was once again towed to Birmingham. I get a call telling me I have to pay over $1300 for the damage and another tire! Jaguar Corp wasn't any help, so don't waste your time. I advised them I was driving a death trap, but they don't care. A lot of unreturned calls and emails. Do yourselves a favor and stay as far away from Jaguar. Most specifically Jaguar of Birmingham. You take it there for something under warranty, but I guarantee they will find something you'll have to pay for. Don't throw your money away and don't put yourself in a luxury death trap. If I could give them zero stars, I would. There are other luxury cars that I'm sure are safe and most likely have good customer service. #lastjagforme! #youllgetscrewed

I had an existing XF that I was very pleased with and didn't expect to change, save for some bargains around in the current stressed climate. Mine was a diesel and I knew I needed a petrol some time. I investigated used XF petrol and was looking when Jaguar Cardiff suggested I could have a pre-reg XF for £5k more. Needless to say I was interested! It's a portfolio 2.0 250hp Petrol. It has BAGS of power (my brother's 3.0 petrol is OTT powerful and exp to run) and I am totally DELIGHTED.The tech has taken a HUGE boost from 2012 to 2020 and now is just quick, easy and intuitive (it was fine previously). Comfort is also far better, especially rear comfort and space. My previous car was used so bums had touched the leather before mine! Ride is responsive but not Audi hard. Overall I am blown away by HOW MUCH BETTER the 2020 car is than the 2012 (which I already liked a lot!). It's so much worth going for the new motor. THANK YOU Jaguar for an amazing product!
