Jaguar XF SV8 4.2 Review: The comeback Cat
We're the first local auto press to sample the Supercharged V8 version of the new Big Cat on local roads, and we love it...Really, we do!
The XF provides Jaguar a new beginning (other than the sale to Tata of course).
There is that unmistakable style – make that drop dead gorgeous style. What other four-door saloon looks as beautiful as this? Even the Italians haven’t given us such a sexy saloon since the Maserati Quattroporte, from five years ago.
The distinctive style continues inside - the pulsating start button, the rotary gear selector and the light blue lighting might put off some traditional Jag fans, but heck, they not only look good – they all work rather well too.
In SV8 guise, the only rivals out there are the Mercedes-Benz E500 and the BMW550i, both available only on an indent basis. The SV8 is quick, but it won’t be he quickest of the XF models though – Jaguar is expecting an R model in the near future. Hopefully it will have enough power to hustle the likes of the M5, E63 and the Audi RS6!
With the XF, there finally is a Jaguar that has the style, substance and character a Jaguar should have a long time ago. Well, better late than never…right?
