Ultra-modern, gorgeous and more than a little extravagant, the XF is unlike the Jaguars before it, and there's no need for that.

Over the many years of its life cycle, the appearance of the XF has been only slightly softened - nothing more is needed. Jaguar XF 2015 still looks elegant, modern and energetic. If anything, it just fits into the luxury goods market a little easier than it originally did, as many models adopt some of the same cues and curves it first used.

Thanks to the relatively small number of cutouts and a sports stand, the design perfectly matches the brand name. The headlights are like a pair of gazes that are highlighted by a mesh grille. The design is exquisite and clean from almost all sides.

The beautiful interior of the XF is also new, but with elements of the old world. It's uniquely British, quite brilliant and a showcase of the brand's legendary attention to materials and finishes. Details such as the rotary gearshift knob and vents that open (with soft lighting) when the start button is pressed create a "wow" throughout the interior. The materials are also one step ahead of those used in more serious German sports sedans; there is a finish made of aluminum and wood (the standard finish is a walnut cap), decorated in such a way that the interior resembles furniture more than in most other cars of this class.
