Jaguar XF Performance Overview
Jaguar’s XF served as the brand’s midsize performance sedan and wagon from 2009 to 2021, with 39 verified tests spanning that run. Early X250 models (2008–2015) established the car’s pace with gasoline power only, ranging from 240-hp naturally aspirated and boosted V6/V8 options to the 550-hp supercharged AJ-V8 Gen III in the XFR-S. The first benchmark came with the 2009 Supercharged at 4.8 seconds to 60 mph, followed by the 2010 Supercharged at 4.3 seconds. That arc peaked in 2014, when the XFR-S recorded the model’s quickest figures at 3.7 seconds to 60 mph and 12.1 seconds in the quarter-mile.
The X260 generation (2016–2021 in this data) shifted toward a broader spread of outputs and fuel types, adding diesel alongside gasoline and using both turbocharged Ingenium engines and the supercharged AJ126. Performance moved away from the XFR-S high-water mark, but remained varied: the 2017 35t R-Sport reached 4.9 seconds to 60 mph, while the diesel 2017 20d R-Sport marked the slow end of the range at 9.5 seconds. Today, the XF stands as a two-generation line averaging 5.37 seconds to 60 mph and 13.77 seconds at 104.1 mph in the quarter-mile.

How we verify Jaguar XF performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Jaguar XF trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
