We've been looking forward to driving a Jaguar for quite some time now, although we've had a number of them booked over the years we've always missed out when it was time to get behind the wheel, but not this week. This 2018 Jaguar XF 2.0d Prestige AWD is the affordable diesel Jaguar that might fit the bill for your next luxury daily driver. This vehicle was sort of the middle trim sold here in Canada, with many of the features and tech we'd want to find at the price point, while keeping the overall bill easy enough to swallow. We have full LED lighting, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, rear cross traffic alert, power folding mirrors, a high quality backup camera, and large sunroof. We go over the technical specifications for this 2.0d diesel engine and how it compares to some of the other options sold here in Canada.

We jump inside to go over the features found in this mid-size executive car including the full leather seating, heated front seats, driver memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, 8.0" InControl infotainment system, 17 speaker Meridian Surround Sound Audio system, and the different features available depending on your packaging. We discuss some of the design traits and how they differ from other luxury brands we've driven, including the heartbeat start button, rotating heat vents, and power lifted gear selector.

We then take the 2018 Jaguar XF 2.0d Prestige on a real world road test to talk about how this 2.0L Ingenium diesel engine performs, including a 0-100km road test, our independent fuel economy numbers, and some of the driving characteristics we've found while driving this Jaguar. We discuss why you'd be interested in this over some German luxury vehicles, and how even a lower-trim vehicle with a diesel engine can perform and handle beautifully on the road. We go over our impressions on the overall interior space and how practical it might be for your needs.

We then wrap up our episode on the 2018 Jaguar XF 2.0d Prestige AWD with our buyer's guide of common problems and complaints to look out for if you're in the market for a used XF Jaguar, including some sensors that can fail over time, electronic gremlins that can pop up, and the details we've found about the overall reliability of these vehicles.
