2009 Jaguar XF Starts at $49,200
Jaguar's latest sedan, the XF, will start at $49,200 for the base, Luxury trim. Stepping up to Premium Luxury costs $55,200, while the 420-hp XF Supercharged runs $62,200. All prices exclude a $775 destination charge.
Standard features include power seats and a power-adjusting steering wheel, a moonroof, leather upholstery and a 320-watt stereo. The Premium Luxury adds a navigation system, heated seats and more, while the Supercharged caps the lineup with 20-inch wheels, higher-grade leather and a Bowers & Wilkins stereo. Naturally, most of the higher-end features are optional in lower trims.
Fifty large might seem like a hefty price for a midsize luxury car, especially when competitors like the BMW 5 Series and Infiniti M start at thousands less. But the XF comes standard with a V-8 engine; others have V-6s. Are the Jag cachet and engine worth the cost? Sound off below.
Looks nice, but does it have the quality and durability to go with the price?
With a possible takeover by an Indian company, the future of Jaguar is unknown.
Pity that Ford waited so long to come out with such a potentially nice design and then dump the company.
I have always liked Jags (except for the current S Type) but I think Jags are overpriced and they depreciate as fast as a speeding bullet.
Perhaps Ford should have been less ambitious on price and positioned Jags as bargains in their respective class to get market share, as Lexus did with the LS400 back in '89.
Perhaps they would have been more succesful.
