Jaguar XF 3.0 Diesel S Updates

Friday, 22 March 2024 07:36 AM The Jaguar XF 3.0 Diesel S is no longer part of the 2024 lineup, as Jaguar has simplified the XFs engine options to only include 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. This move marks the end of the V6 diesel engine in the XF series. I think this change might disappoint some fans of the V6s power and smoothness.

Friday, 15 March 2024 07:41 AM Jaguar has announced that the production of the XF, including the 3.0 Diesel S variant, has ended early in 2024. This decision is part of Jaguars shift towards a more SUV-heavy lineup and an eventual all-electric future. Its a sad day for those who loved the executive saloon.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 08:33 PM In a recent review, the Jaguar XFs interior quality and connectivity were highlighted as significant improvements, but these updates do not apply to the discontinued 3.0 Diesel S model. The new interior features, such as the 11-inch infotainment system, are now standard in the remaining XF models. I believe these updates would have been a great addition to the 3.0 Diesel S.

Thursday, 25 January 2024 10:32 AM The 2023 sales figures for Jaguar showed a continued decline in XF sales, which contributed to the decision to discontinue the 3.0 Diesel S and other variants. The market trend is clearly shifting towards SUVs and electric vehicles. I think this trend is here to stay.

Friday, 15 December 2023 07:53 PM Jaguars design team has praised the exterior makeover of the XF, which included a punchier front end and redesigned rear bumper, but these changes were not applied to the 3.0 Diesel S as it was phased out before these updates. The new design elements have been well-received by critics.

Thursday, 10 November 2022 09:36 PM In 2022, Jaguar reduced the number of XF derivatives from 64 to 28, signaling a move away from complex model hierarchies. This simplification did not include the 3.0 Diesel S, which was already on its way out. I believe this simplification was a necessary step for Jaguar.

Tuesday, 20 September 2022 05:07 PM The 3.0 Diesel S was known for its exceptional handling and ride balance, which were often praised by critics. However, with the rise of newer models and engine options, this variant became less competitive in terms of interior quality and connectivity. I think its a shame that such a great handler is no longer available.

Thursday, 15 July 2021 04:24 PM In 2021, Jaguar introduced a mid-life update for the XF, which included revisions to the engine lineup but did not save the 3.0 Diesel S from eventual discontinuation. The update aimed to address interior quality and connectivity issues but came too late for this specific model.

Tuesday, 25 May 2021 07:49 PM The Jaguar XF 3.0 Diesel S was once a favorite among company car drivers due to its low CO2 emissions and lower benefit-in-kind (BIK) category. However, with the introduction of newer, more efficient models, its appeal began to wane. I think it was a great option for its time.

Tuesday, 10 March 2020 08:26 AM In 2020, Jaguar announced a significant price reduction for the XF lineup, including the 3.0 Diesel S, in an effort to boost sales. Despite this, the models popularity continued to decline. I believe the price cut was a last-ditch effort to save a model that was already on its way out.
