Jaguar XF 2010 - AutoWeek Review...Jaguar XF 2010 - AutoWeek AutoWeek News and Reviews AutoWeek Associate Publisher, Dutch Mandel takes us on a tour of the Jaguar XF. The XF is Jaguar's new luxury sport sedan. 2010 Jaguar XF Supercharged Base Price: $68000 As-Tested Price: $68000 Drivetrain: 5.0-liter supercharged V8; RWD, six-speed automatic Output: 470 hp @ 6000 rpm, 424 lb-ft @ 2500 rpm Curb Weight: 4306 lb Fuel Economy: (EPA/AW) 17/19.8 mpg Even after being around for a couple of years, the XF hasn't lost any of its street appeal.

Maybe it was the beer goggles that made the car look 300 pounds lighter, but he stood in front of the car stunned and continually told me how beautiful it was. He asked about the price, how it drove and how much horsepower it had. Speaking of horsepower, this test car is packing a more potent punch compared to our long-termer. For the 2010 model year, Jag slid in a new engine under the hood of the XF. Replacing the previous 4.2-liter supercharged V8 is a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 for an increase of 50 hp to 470 and small bump <b>...</b>
