People who buy a Jaguar XF are often enthusiastic about their purchase. Since its launch the XF has been one of the workhorses of the Jaguar brand. This has always been a meaningful car, and the 2009 model is no different. A sedan for everyone in the household is what the Jaguar XF provides.

Jaguar XF Engine Specs

The restyled XF Supercharged is equipped with a Jaguar 4.2-liter 8-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 32 valves. The engine is paired with a ZF 6-speed transmission. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2008 version.

The XF uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

The 2009 XF’s traditional fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel capacity of the car is 18.40 gallons.

XF Supercharged Statistics

The XF is 195.30 inches long, 73.90 inches wide, and 57.50 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 114.50 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.

A powertrain guarantee is provided (50,000 miles/48 months), and a 50,000 mile, 48 month guarantee also comes with the Jaguar XF. This is standard for the price range.

The listed retail price in 2009 (MSRP) was $62,200, with a dealer invoice cost of $56,602. This price is in line with the industry average price for a four-door Sedan. The price and brand also make car insurance expensive for this car.

Fuel Efficiency

The XF Supercharged received a miles-per-gallon rating of seventeen in-city driving and twenty three when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was within normal parameters.

The vehicle is available in Azure Blue, Botanical Green, Ebony, Emerald Fire, Frost Blue, Indigo Blue, Liquid Silver, Lunar Grey, Midnight, Pearl Grey, Porcelain, Radiance, Vapour Grey, and Winter Gold.

In Summary

The 2008 model began the promise of the Jaguar XF. The 2009 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Jaguar hopes that the XF Supercharged will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
