Overview

2022 Jaguar XF

The 2022 Jaguar XF presents a blend of luxury and performance, but used car shoppers should approach with caution. While its All-Wheel Drive and Automatic (S8) transmission offer a capable driving experience, a high number of recalls (29) and critical complaints regarding steering, engine, and powertrain issues warrant careful consideration. Fuel economy is respectable for its class, achieving 25 MPG combined. However, the vehicle's below-average reliability verdict and potential for costly repairs, particularly concerning the steering and powertrain, are significant factors for prospective buyers.

Critical Failure Risk

Customers report a significant pull to one side, requiring substantial driver effort to maintain a straight line. This suggests potential issues within the power steering system or alignment.

Early detection can help you avoid a $800-$2,500 repair.
