XF

As the sole sedan in Jaguar's increasingly SUV-heavy lineup, the 2024 XF serves up executive transport with a distinctly British accent. The XF's alluring design serves as a reminder that above all else, Jaguar knows how to properly style a car. All models are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but that engine comes in two strengths: P250 models get 246 horsepower, while the P300 has been boosted to 296 ponies. Its performance is adequate but far from class-leading, especially in this segment, where competitors often offer a six-cylinder engine as an upgrade. The Jag's road manners are refined, though. To complement its surefootedness, its ride is nicely balanced with just enough comfort tuned in. The XF's interior is just as lovely-looking as its exterior, and there's a reasonable amount of tech baked into the design, but it's here where the XF shows its age. Rivals such as the BMW 5-series, the Genesis G80, and the Mercedes-Benz E-class all sit closer to the cutting edge.
