Default Considering leasing a XF AWD - options I should think of?

Coming off an Audi S5 lease and need a slightly bigger sedan. Love the styling on the Jags compared to the boring styling on the BMW, Audi, Lexus etc.

AWD is a must.

Given I am getting a lease and I don't know much about Jaguars as this will be my first, I am asking the forum for a few "must have" options...

My search turned up
-Heated steering wheel - probably will go for that. The wife will love that option (if and when she gets to drive it https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/i...es/biggrin.gif)

Any other options to consider?

Thinking I would get the nav/backup camera/Sirius XM radio

If you think you need awd then the winter package is a must. The Portfolio package is really a no brainer also. I added two other packages to get a rear sunshade and front parking sensors. The fold down rear seat with ski pass through is also a must have option for any awd car.

Not sure if they made changes to the Portfolio package from 2012 V8 to 2013 V6SC AWD model, but i personally love mine.

You can opt-in for heated windshield as well, but some, including myself, find it extremely annoying - especially on a sunny days.

sensors, camera, nav, heated seats/wheel, upgraded stereo are all important (for me)

you can skip the heated windsheild...its no big deal.

The view out the back screen is very poor because it is so small, so you might like the reversing camera.

Yup, I have the reversing camera and the front parking sensors. Both are good options.

Oh, btw this car has the F Type engine. It really does. It really goes.

However, if you don't need the awd don't get it. The non awd is very quick indeed.
