A new 300 Sport model grade is the sole Jaguar XF variant for Model Year 2023, with more of some features as standard – but less of others.
The 2023 Jaguar XF range has been revised with a new 300 Sport variant, and a $9000 premium over the outgoing model – but a longer list of standard features.
The new XF 300 Sport – distinguished by black exterior styling elements, with a carry-over petrol engine – is priced from $115,360 plus on-road costs, equating to $8984 more than the previous sole model grade of Jaguar's largest sedan, the P300 R-Dynamic HSE.
Compared to the R-Dynamic HSE, new features for the 300 Sport include adaptive suspension, configurable drive modes, the Black Exterior Pack (black exterior trim), wireless phone charging, and a black contrast roof.
A set of 16-way power front seats with heating and memory (previously $2885 extra) replace 12-way power seats without heating, while the black headliner is now made from suede, rather than fabric.
However, the 12-inch digital instrument cluster has returned from standard equipment to an $845 option, and the previously-standard Clear Exit Monitor – which alerts occupants if they’re about to open their door into oncoming traffic – is no longer available, even as an option.
The Activity Key and HomeLink garage opener – previously $910 and $700 options on Model Year 2022 vehicles – are not available for 2023.
A full list of standard features, option packages, exterior colours and standalone options is included at the bottom of this story.
Powering the car is the same 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine as the R-Dynamic HSE, routing its 221kW (or 300 metric horsepower, giving it its badge) and 400Nm outputs to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
A zero to 100km/h time of 6.1 seconds is carried over from the 2022 model – but Jaguar now quotes combined fuel consumption of 7.4 litres per 100km, up 0.2L/100km on the old model.
The 2023 Jaguar XF 300 Sport is available to order now.
Note: The price above excludes on-road costs.
