The Jaguar XF's Sedan interior is a gallant step ahead for both the conventionally frumpy British emblem and the whole luxury sedan segment. The console climbed on start button pulsates red like there's a genuine feline heart drubbing deep inside. Pressing it blazes the motor to life, and then the circular equipment selector increases into the driver's palm as the four air vents open and rotate into place. Some might find this output a bit gimmicky, but the XF backs it up with supple cowhide, tastefully directed timber and a satisfying design. Overall, it's a standout in a segment normally renowned for cautious cabins.
There are two some ergonomic missteps, though. Most of the audio, weather, navigation and Bluetooth telephone purposes are controlled by a centered feel computer display, and while the meal lists are logically organized, some of the virtual buttons are too small. Also, the needlessly swoopy graphics make processing times too long. The center stack's physical buttons are greeting for modifying the weather scheme, but those dedicated to audio controls are redundant, and usually this genuine land parcel could be better utilized. Rear outward visibility is furthermore poorer than average.
In provisions of space, those in front will find an plentiful allowance, but bigger folks seated in the back may find their heads grazing the top covering the XF is not as commodious as the 5 Series or E-Class. The trunk, although, is rather roomy at 17 cubic feet.
