Looks miles better than XE. I like it but then again I have a soft spot for Jag even after they fooled me once already.

Interior is still fully loaded economy car like.

Yes, I hear they are returning to the classic cassette deck and cigarette lighter in this model.

I think jag interiors just don't photo well. I like the redesign.

I had a '15 XF (current gen) as a loaner last week (F-Type was in for a damaged wheel and tire). For all the talk about how bad the the interior was (based on pics), I thought the interior was well laid out with high quality materials.

I suspect the same will hold true with the redesigned XF -- interior will look better in person.

I was also surprised by how light the XF felt.

I thought the XF interior was nice but it lagged behind its competitors. And I agree with you about how light it feels- that's one thing that I'm constantly aware of in my F-type. It's a heavy feeling car...but that goes well with its brutal character.

lets see whats the end weight, XE ended up being same weight as F30 I believe, they said they invested aluminium savings into more sophisticated suspension.

As to XF, we can criticize this and that but there is no denying that it will be great new entry in the class, well worth a look. Maybe interior should be flashier but it is nevertheless a good entry from Jag.

No doubt it will be a great contender in the segment.

Looks nicer inside and out in these pics. Still think its going to get owned by the G30 5-series and W213 E-class though.

Nice looking front end. Quite a contrast to the new GS being discussed in another thread.

Nicely appointed. The infotainment looks greatly improved from a 2012 trade-in I sampled.

New Jaguar XF saloon surpasses standards of its superlative predecessor – but is it a new class leader?

so many interior and exterior similarities with the XE, this is just a larger version. At least when Audi does it, the interior is completely different
