2015 Jaguar XF 3.0 AWD Test ? Review ? Car and Driver
All-wheel-drive sports sedans are a prerequisite for any manufacturer serious about racking up sales in markets where the weather can get frightful.

When I received this 3.0L XF as a loaner I was hugely surprised at it's acceleration capabilities. Although it did not provide a shove in seat feel as my old 2004 XJR, it seemed that it was accelerating at nearly the same pace.
The numbers Car and Driver recorded confirms this!
