The SE trim of the 2022 Jaguar XF should be given priority in the lineup. Though the S trim has a long list of standard features but it lacks the additional ones, unlike the SE. The optional 16-speaker Meridian Surround Sound System and 16-way power-adjustable seats with heating, ventilation and massage functions are also advised to be opted for to justify the actual stance of this luxury sedan.

"The only sedan in Jaguar's current model lineup, the XF is a car of many talents, balancing the luxury and comfort of a large four-door sedan with agile handling and a sports car's soul." TureCar

The S trim costs $45,300 and beholds assets such as Pivi with 11.4-inch touchscreen and 12-speaker Meridian Sound System for an enriching experience. It also gets Grained leather front seats with heating functions. And the Blind Spot Assist with Rear Traffic and Clear Exit Monitor make up for the safety unit.

The SE trim has been priced at $48,200 for which it further extends the standard list with Adaptive cruise control in safety unit and Pivi Pro in infotainment. Moreover, the optional 16-speaker Meridian surround sound system can also be integrated into this over the standard one.

"As the lone sedan in Jaguar's lineup, the XF is satisfying to drive and appropriately luxurious." - Car And Driver

Throttle the pedal of the 2022 Jaguar XF sedan and its 2.0L Turbo I-4 will pump in 246 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain comes coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth power transition in an RWD layout.

Considering the 0-60 MPH acceleration, the XF takes 6.5 seconds while the top speed is limited to 155 MPH. However, to curb that performance it has been equipped with 13.8-inch front and 12.8-inch rear vented disc brakes along with ABS and Brake Assist as standards. 

As per data, the 2022 XF is 0.6 seconds slower than the 5 Series in 0-60 MPH sprint but the latter costs $9,000 more. Even Audi A6 is 0.7 seconds faster in the acceleration run, however, is $11,000 more expensive. On the other hand, the XF leads the pack with a 25 MPH higher top speed than the rest.
