2010 Jaguar XF Review
Now in its second year of production, the 2010 Jaguar XF continues to be a game-changer for the struggling British luxury maker. Recent Jags were seemingly designed to cater to what people think a Jag should be, namely, a quaint motorcar that looks just like the quaint motorcar that came before it. They were built for the people who think of England as a nation filled with yarn-twiddling grannies sipping Earl Grey and telling tales about the War. The XF leaves those people in its dust, establishing a bold new stylistic direction for Jaguar. Traditional virtues like powerful engines and a sumptuous cabin remain, but the XF's contemporary shape sets it apart as a Jag for the 21st century. Despite receiving a warm welcome in its first production year, when an XF Supercharged defeated segment stalwarts from Audi, BMW and Mercedes in an Edmunds comparison test, the XF lineup receives some notable changes for 2010. The base model's 4.2-liter V8 stays the same, but the 420-hp supercharged 4.2-liter V8 and its corresponding trim level -- the victorious car in the above-mentioned shootout -- are no more. In its place are two new trim levels. The XF Premium comes with an all-new, naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 that pumps out 385 hp, and the 2010 Jaguar XFR storms onto the scene with a supercharged version of the 5.0-liter V8 that delivers a towering 510 hp and 461 pound-feet of torque. Along with the gutsier engine, the XFR also boasts quicker steering, bigger brakes, 20-inch wheels, unique exterior and interior styling and trim and automatically adjustable suspension damper settings for optimized ride and handling. While we did think highly of last year's Supercharged model, the two new models should fill in nicely for a car that's established itself as a class standout. The XF Premium will hold strong appeal for the typical luxury car buyer, and the XFR is clearly meant to give cars like the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG a run for their money. Any 2010 Jaguar XF deserves a place on your "to drive" list if you're considering a sedan in this price segment. It's not without its quirks and detractors, but nothing can match the XF's blend of sophisticated road manners, high-tech features and signature British interior ambience.

Walkaround
The 2010 Jaguar XF is a midsize luxury sedan available in three trim levels: base XF, XF Premium and XFR. Standard equipment for the base XF includes 18-inch wheels, rear parking sensors, a sunroof, automatic headlights, automatic dual-zone climate control, keyless ignition, leather upholstery and heated 10-way power front seats with driver memory functions. Also standard are Bluetooth, a navigation system, voice-activated controls and a nine-speaker stereo with a six-CD changer, an auxiliary audio jack, an iPod interface and satellite radio. The Vision package adds front parking sensors, a rearview camera and a blind-spot warning system. The XF Premium includes Vision package items and adds a more powerful V8 engine, 19-inch wheels, bigger brakes, bi-xenon auto-leveling headlamps, heated and cooled front seats, leather-trimmed dash and door trim, wood trim choices and keyless ignition and entry. The Portfolio package adds 20-inch wheels, 16-way driver and 12-way passenger power seats, contrasting stitching, ebony wood trim, a heated steering wheel and a power rear window shade. The latter two items are stand-alone options on the base XF.

Summary
The 2010 Jaguar XF's smooth and hushed demeanor allows for comfortable long-distance journeys, yet there's also an unexpected level of performance for a Jaguar sedan. Around corners, the XF has considerable grip and surprisingly high limits. The steering is a little light and numb, but the XF is still more fun to drive than many competitors. Acceleration from the base V8 is swift and smooth. We haven't had the chance to drive the new naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 yet, but we suspect it'll provide a suitable amount of thrust -- just not as much as the lusciously smooth supercharged V8 found in last year's XF. However, for those who desire a Jaguar with real claws, the 510-hp XFR will no doubt satisfy. It generates heroic power as well as capable and entertaining handling.
