The Jaguar XF came with two main engine choices in the Indian market. It offered a 2.0-litre petrol engine and a 2.0-litre diesel engine. The 2.0-litre petrol motor produced around 247 bhp and 365 Nm of torque. The 2.0-litre diesel motor produced about 177 bhp and 430 Nm of torque. Both engines used an 8-speed automatic gearbox to send power to the wheels. Jaguar used its Ingenium engine family for this model to provide good performance. The car offered smooth power delivery for city driving and long highway trips. Later, the diesel versions were stopped because they did not meet the BS6 emission rules in 2020. The petrol engine continued for some time before the entire model was eventually taken off the market. Owners liked the car for its balanced power and quick acceleration. This model provided a comfortable driving experience on different road conditions.

The Jaguar XF offered a spacious cabin with seating for 5 people. It came with leather seats that were very soft and easy to clean. The dashboard featured an 11.4-inch touchscreen for music and navigation. This screen worked with both Android and Apple phones. The car had a 12.3-inch digital display for the driver instead of old gauges. It also included a large glass sunroof that let in a lot of light. Dual-zone climate control allowed the driver and passenger to choose different temperatures. There were rear air vents to keep the back seat cool. You could find useful storage spaces like a glovebox and cup holders. The steering wheel had simple buttons to manage calls and volume. This model used many soft-touch materials on the doors and dash. It provided a quiet and calm experience for everyone inside the car.

The Jaguar XF was a long sedan with a very smooth shape. The front had a large grille and sharp LED headlights. These lights had a special J-shape design. The car looked low and wide on the road. It came with large 18-inch alloy wheels. This model had a long bonnet and a roof that curved gently towards the back. You could see chrome details around the windows and on the front parts. At the back, it had wide LED tail lights and 2 exhaust pipes. The car also had a large glass sunroof on the top. Its door handles and mirrors matched the body color. This sedan looked very fast even when it was standing still. Every part of the body was designed to help the car move easily through the air.

The Jaguar XF faced tough competition from many expensive sedans in the Indian market. Its main rivals were the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, and Audi A6. These cars were popular choices for people who wanted a large and fast vehicle. Another strong competitor was the Volvo S90. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class was a very hard rival because it had a lot of space in the back seat. The BMW 5 Series was also a favorite for buyers who liked a fast drive. Most of these rival cars were priced between 60 lakh and 80 lakh rupees. While the car had a special style, the German brands had more service centers across India. During its time on sale, this model fought for sales against these well-known cars. Constant updates from these rivals made it a very difficult market for the car.
