Originally released in 2015, the second generation of Jaguar XF it has now been the target of the “typical” middle age restyling, thus reinforcing its arguments to face the ever fierce competition from models like the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 or the also revised Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
On the outside, the renovation was somewhat discreet, with Jaguar betting on an “evolution in continuity” rather than a total revolution. Thus, at the front, the XF received a new grille, new headlamps with a luminous LED signature that forms a double “J” and also a new bumper.
At the rear, the changes are limited to the new bumper and a pair of taillights whose design has also been revised.
