SUBJECT: 2012 MY
I. INTRODUCTION
The 2012 model year brings a significant freshening to the multi award winning XF first launched in early
2008. Since launch, the XF has undergone several changes including the introduction of three versions of
an all new 5.0L engine.
The 2012 model year focuses on further enhancing the two time winner of the
Automobile Magazine All‐Star award f0r Outstanding Exterior and Interior. Exterior modifications bring
the 12MY XF up‐to‐date with the latest Jaguar design style to include new Xenon headlamps with LED
signatures, a bigger, bolder
grille and tail lamps that wrap around the trunk lid in a symmetrical design.
On the inside it introduces a more modern and detailed appearance. Last but not least, it enhances the
technology content of the vehicle by bringing a host of features that were first introduced on the all‐
new
XJ at 11MY.
All 12MY XF's have a more assertive look to them, but the XFR receives further differentiation with a
significantly more aggressive front and rear styling treatment allowing it to stand apart from the rest of
the range ‐‐ perfectly complementing a performance that Automobile magazine's executive editor, Joe
DeMatio, described "The supercharged XFR has a brilliant new V8 engine that churns out more than 500
hp, and the car strikes the seemingly impossible balance of being extremely fast and extremely
composed without sacrificing everyday drivability or comfort."

THE PRODUCT BRIEF
1. PROGRAM FEATURE CHANGES
1.1 - EXTERIOR FEATURE CHANGES
The exterior changes to the XF are very significant. They are apparent from all quarters of the vehicle
and keep the design leadership a step ahead of competition. In addition, the XFR gets a new front
bumper that significantly increases the differentiation between this vehicle and the
other XF derivatives.
New Front End
The revision to the front end is the most noticeable change at 12MY. It brings the vehicle more in line
with the original C‐XF concept car and moves XF closer to the new XJ.
• New thinner and more elegant headlamps – with greater use of gloss black finish in
the interior
of the headlamp, making the vehicle look more assertive.
o Halogen headlamps are no longer available at 12MY, with bi‐function HID Xenon
headlamps and headlamp washers now fitted on XF as standard
o 12MY brings LED Daylight running lamps integrated into the headlight body as standard
across
all derivatives. The LEDs run along the lower edge of the headlamp and up the
side of the light creating a "J Blade" signature. The LEDs illuminate when either Drive,
Sport or Reverse mode is engaged but turn off in Park and Neutral modes. They dim
slightly when
indicating a turn or when the headlights are on
o Adaptive Headlamps that bend the main beam in the direction of the applied steering
direction and Intelligent High Beam that turns the main beam on or off depending on
incoming traffic are new features ‐‐ optional except on XF Portfolio (Adaptive headlamps
standard) and XFR (both features standard)
• Grille
o The front grille is slightly larger and more upright than the prior model year. The grille
will continue to be chrome finish except for XFR which retains gloss black finish
o The XFR gets an "R" badge on the front
grille in addition to the existing R badge on the
rear trunk lid to help increase visual recognition

• Hood and hood louvers
o The 12MY hood has a more pronounced "power bulge". In addition to providing more
personality to the car, it helps with wind noise by deflecting airflow over the windshield
wipers
o The louvers on XFR move further up the hood toward the windshield
o The
XF Supercharged is now fitted with hood louvers with the "Supercharged" script as
standard, enhancing the differentiation of the vehicle versus the naturally aspirated XF
and XF Portfolio
• Front bumper
o The XF, XF Portfolio and XF Supercharged derivatives have new bumpers and retain a
sculpted strake
in the lower side grilles
o The XFR gets a much more aggressive bumper with very striking larger lower grille
profiles (see next page for image)
• Fenders and side vents
o The fenders are revised to fit the new headlamps profile
o New side vents are introduced. They are
broadly triangular in shape and have a much
extended horizontal chrome ingot engraved with "Jaguar" script

2. MODEL LINE UP CHANGE
At 12MY, a new derivative – the XF Portfolio – is introduced, replacing the XF Premium model and the
Portfolio package which are both discontinued.
The 12MY XF model line‐up will therefore be simplified as per below table:
Model Engine
XF 385 hp
XF Portfolio 385 hp
XF Supercharged 470 hp
XFR 510 hp
The new XF Portfolio derivative incorporates the luxurious trim attributes of the prior model year
Portfolio package with a strongly competitive level of feature content. Some features that were
standard on the 11MY XF Premium will now be offered as part of attractively priced new option
packages.

incorporates Active Seat Belts – optional on all derivatives except XF
