potential second gen jaguar xf caught testing in the wild

Now that Jaguar bestowed the XE upon the world, the automaker’s engineers and designers are turning toward updating the XF as the first generation draws closer to the end.

Autoblog reports the second-gen XF will likely be based upon the same iQ A1 platform used for the XE, along with losing a few pounds and gaining some new tech.

Under the bonnet, firepower will mostly remain the same, from four-pot diesels to supercharged V8, as well as the introduction of a PHEV variant. Rear- and all-wheel drive should still be around, as well as the choice between sedan and wagon.

Whatever happens, the new XF has some stiff competition waiting outside the assembly line, including the Audi A6, Infiniti Q70 and Volvo S90. Until that day, however, a few spy photos shall suffice.

Bout time they ditched the original XF. It doesn't look current anymore, and I was never bowled over with the original styling. It looked good, but seemed to be a really big car they had to chop to not steal from XJ sales. The kids born when this thing came out are in second grade now.

Well, at least Jaguar are doing something. De Nysschen has to fit out his Manhattan penthouse before Cadillac can figure out what to do with the XTS and its cheap V6, while Jaguar is bringing out a whole new line of gas and diesel engines, and are replacing all old models by the 2018 model year.

SCE to AUX The market always has a say.
VoGhost "While we could argue all day about whether or not EVs are actually cleaner or more ethical,..." Yes, we can also argue over whether gravity exists or if chickens have feathers. But when something is established fact, there's really no reason to waste time on the obvious.
MaintenanceCosts These latest standards can be met with relatively minimal EV adoption by hybridizing nearly all ICE cars. Regardless of what you think of BEVs, hybridizing ICEs (except in small specialty segments) is something that should happen as soon as possible. They are quite a bit more efficient for no significant downside.If we hybridized all the full-size pickups and truck-based SUVs alone it would be a massive reduction in fossil fuel usage.
SCE to AUX These were today's equivalent of $49k new. I don't know if $32k for a clean, low-mileage one is reasonable, but I lean toward yes. Cheaper ones will likely have been abused or absurdly modded.
