Jaguar XF Diesel S Portfolio with Aerodynamic and Dynamic Pack
What is it?
THE fastest diesel-engined XF you can buy, with the looks of the flagship XFR thanks to a new £1,500 optional Aerodynamics Pack. Buyers can also specify a £1,250 Dynamics Pack which brings 20-inch alloys and adaptive suspension. We’ve tested both packs on a top spec Portfolio car taking the total price to a whopping £48,350.
What’s hot?
- Aero kit adds front spoiler, black grille, side skirts…
- …only misses out on XFR’s bonnet louvres. Looks subtly muscular
- Dynamics pack’s 20-inch wheels finish things off nicely
- New cabin for 2010 brings even more supportive seats
- Smooth, quiet 271bhp 3.0-litre diesel is stormingly rapid…
- …with 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds
- Yet returns 42mpg and emits 178g/km
- Beautifully balanced and involving handling
- Big wheels add road noise but adaptive suspension keeps ride soothing
- Portfolio trim brings awesome Bowers & Wilkins stereo
- Real feeling of quality throughout
What’s not?
- Even in Portfolio trim, the XF is expensive, never mind the option packs
- Rivals have more rear headroom
- If we’re nit-picking the steering could have a little more weight
- Only 10% corporation tax writing down allowance
