Hi,

I'm considering a 2010 or 11 supercharged or xfr. I see the portfolio edition coming up a lot in the supercharged versions and, at times, the portfolio interior looks like it comes in a more modern (non-wood) version than the XFR.

Bottom line is, if whether I'm after a Supercharged or XFR version, what trims included the 'sport' type interior that eliminates the wood? Don't get me wrong, I love wood but I'm preferring the 'sport' interiors.

Also, what body differences exist between the XFR and Supercharged versions.

Sorry for the questions that look like research should solve it, I've been looking for a bit and between the US, UK and Canadian info I'm left very confused. I would likely purchase the car in the US.

Thanks!

 

Far as I know the SC versions get all the Portfolio level trims. I have the nice headliner, stitching in the leather dash etc etc. and the B&W stereo. Missing interior are the sport seats and the XFR dash bits like the badge and the black instead of wood. I believe the only model without the wood is XFR.

You also get the same suspension, e-diff, brakes and exhaust as the XFR. What you don't get are the hood scoops, badging or the more racey lower body kit. Everything else is the same. This makes the SC a great value in my opinion.

Also note that the 2010 SC was not available in Canada so unless you see in imported car they are not something you will find (why I imported).

 

Here's a thread to look at - https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-xf-xfr-63368/

 

I am not sure that the XFR in 2010 or 11 was available with anything other than wood. Piano Black only made it into the 2012. Maybe carbon fibre was an option, but it will be a rare one. I can't recall seeing one. The XFR had a grey ash wood as standard. I am not a fan of wood in cars in general, but I can live with it in mine. It doesn't look very woody at all.

 

Do you get the diesel XF-S in Canada?
It is worth a try as it pulls harder especially around town, compared to the XFR

 

No diesel in Canada, only the 5.0L V8.

 

and 4.2 pre-2010

 

I drove both 2011 XFR's and 2011 XFSC during my 7 month search for a clean low miles late in service date 2011. The XFSC in my opinion looks better, I don't like the hood vents on the XFR or the R stiched into the seats.

Also you might note the XFSC somehow puts down nearly identical performace number to the XFR even though it is rate 40 hp less.

It came down to appearance for me and the XFR looks like a racecar the XFSC looks like a sporty sedan but puts down racecar performace.

 

I was torn when deciding to buy a S/C or the XFR.
