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

• Rear valance and tailpipe
o The XF and XF portfolio retain the prior model year black rear valance, however the tail
pipe finishers are now oval
o The XF Supercharged receives a black sculpted valance (no vanes)
o The XFR receives a new sculpted rear valance in gloss black with
three vanes.
XF & XF Portfolio rear valance with oval tailpipes
XF Supercharged and Sport pack rear valance
XFR sculpted rear valance with vanes
Other Exterior Changes
• The rear trunk is now fitted with a power cinch which provides powered final closure of the
trunk lid. This makes the closure easier and ensures the trunk is always closed. Note that it is
not a full power trunk lid as in the XJ.
• All 12MY XFs are fitted with hydrophobic glass to the front side windows. This feature will help
improve the movement of rainwater and enhance visibility through the window
1.2 - INTERIOR FEATURE CHANGES
Further building on its status of Ward's Interior of the Year Award winner, the 12MY XF gets a complete
interior refresh, one that will continue to make it stand apart from its more staid competition.
New Seat Style – All except XFR
A completely new seat style is being introduced for 12MY for all models except XFR. The seats have
more profile, with a more pronounced bolstering that offers enhanced support. They feature a "hoop"
design on the seat squab and on the backrest. The "hoop" is monotone to the seat on XF,
but is in
contrast color for XF Portfolio and XF Supercharged, instantly signaling premium differentiation.

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

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

to be R branded on the
lower spoke
