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

Page 5 of 17 Rear Refresh
The rear of the XF gets significant but more subtle changes at 12MY. The most significant change is to
the night time signature of the rear lamps.
• Tail lamps
o The tail lamps now run onto the trunk lid below the trunk lid finisher
o Lamp functions are all
LED for stop, tail and directional indicator. The LED night time
signature forms a continuous "race track" line around the outer edge of the lamps
rather than a solid block of light giving the vehicle a unique night time signature that will
set the XF apart from competitor vehicles
12MY XF Tail lamps with LED night time signature
• The new trunk lid finisher brings a cleaner appearance to the rear of the vehicle
o The blade is graphically thinned by adding a black area to the lower edge
o The "Jaguar" script is removed
• Badging
o The XF trunk lid badge changes to the new
font to match the font on the new XJ

Rear seating
• Starting with 12MY, a fixed rear seat will be the standard configuration of all models except XFR
• A new ski hatch (pass through) and bag is offered bundled with the split fold rear seats (60/40)
as an option
• XFR retains the split fold rear seat and
adds the ski hatch and bag as standard equipment
Revised Fascia, Center Console and Steering Wheel
•
Finisher
o
The interior of the 12MY XF is noticeably different from its predecessor due to the
replacement of the "Tungsten" color theme with an "Aurora" theme. This new theme
brings a brighter, whiter finish to the instrument panel
o
Button and switch gear have a soft feel black paint finish application, making them more
luxurious and more crafted to the touch
o
The Jaguar DriveSelector bezel has a new bright chrome finish
•
New switches
o
Two additional hard buttons for phone and navigation have been added to the center
stack under the Touch‐screen to enable customers to more easily switch between
functions rather than having t0 scroll through several screens on the Touch‐screen itself
o
An additional hard button is also fitted on the lower "climate" section of the center stack
as a short cut to the heated/climate seat screen.
• The fascia and center console also receive Phosphor blue halo light guide illumination around the
hard buttons
• Instrument cluster
o A new color TFT display with improved graphics (carried over from XK) is fitted to the
12MY XF. The vehicle also gets revised instrument cluster graphics
o The
word "Supercharged" is removed from the XF Supercharged and XFR speedometer.
The word "Jaguar" is added on all derivatives. Red pointers on the cluster dials are
retained for XF Supercharged and XFR
• Touch‐screen
o The 7" Touch‐screen graphics are revised, and are based on the new XJ
graphics
o A clock is displayed in the top right hand corner of all screens. Pressing the clock takes
the user to the time/date setting screen
• Steering wheel
o At 12MY, the XF receives a redesigned, sportier steering wheel. The XFR wheel continues
to be R branded on the
lower spoke
