If you are looking at a midsized sedan, you need to know the Premium and Prestige editions of the 2016 Jaguar XF. Offering comforts with few compromises, each model is enticing and luxurious.

Performance

The Jaguar XF Premium and Prestige editions are powered by a supercharged V-6. This powertrain kicks out 332 lb.ft. of torque to assist 340 horsepower. The result is a true performer. Jaguar Driver Control has three modes for a more individualized driving experience. Torque vectoring and cornering brake control help the XF really hug the curves. The 8-speed ZF electronic automatic transmission helps ensure accurate shifts, while the car's four-wheel independent suspension ensures excellent ride quality.

In addition, the Jaguar XF Prestige offers adaptive dynamics. This suspension system adds a real-time correction to smooth the bumps in the road. Working actively to improve control and reduce chassis stress, adaptive dynamics help the driver stay in charge of the drive. Both models offer the unique all surface progress control. With the push of a button, it can take over a low-speed drive in order to create the traction needed on snow, ice, wet grass or other tricky surfaces. Both models come in rear-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations as well.

Appearance

The XF Prestige edition adds bigger wheels and a heated front windshield. The interior comes with a variety of color choices featuring Taurus leather. Trims include a gloss black and a gloss burl walnut. The power seats gain power-heat and four-way power lumbar. The XF Prestige trades grained leather for soft grain leather on the multi-function steering wheel. It's also heated for driver comfort. A package can add ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. The XF Prestige InTouch system includes navigation, InControl Apps, and InControl Wi-Fi.
