We Recommend

The base 5.0-liter engine in itself is very much powerful, thus we would recommend you to opt for the base trim. It does provide good standard features. But if that is not satisfying, you should go for the XF Supercharged trim with a more powerful engine and much better features than the Base trim. But for us, the base trim has more than enough punch and comfort to be a value for money offering.

The 2012 Jaguar XF is available in three engine options. The base 5.0-liter V8 engine provides a power output of 385 hp along with 380 lb-ft of torque. The other two engines are the same 5.0-liter supercharged V8 but have different outputs.

The first provides 470 hp along with 424 lb-ft of torque, while the second provides 510 hp along with 461 lb-ft of torque. All the engine options are mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission and deliver the power to the rear wheels as standard. The base engine setup accelerates the vehicles from 0-60 mph in 5.3-seconds, while the quarter-mile is covered in 13.7 seconds. 

The 2012 Infiniti M56 is the most powerful in this comparison with a maximum power output of 420 hp, while the Mercedes-Benz E550 provides a power output of 402 hp. The Infiniti is also the quickest in this comparison with 0-60 mph reached in 4.4 seconds, while the Mercedes-Benz E-Class reaches the 60 mph mark in 5.3 seconds. All the vehicles have a higher top speed limited to 155 mph.

The massive 5.0-liter base engine is powerful but is lower on the fuel economy. It provides a mileage of 16 mpg in the city, which improves to 23 mpg on the highway. Thus we get a combined mileage of 19 mpg from the Jaguar XF. The more powerful engine options further reduce the fuel economy of the vehicle. The XF has a fuel tank capacity of 18.4 gallons, which results in a maximum range of 423 miles. 

The E-Class is slightly more efficient with a combined mileage of 20 mpg, while the Infiniti M56 provides a similar mileage of 19 mpg. The E550 also has the biggest fuel tank capacity, which leads to a maximum range of 611 miles, while the decent 20 gallons of fuel tank in the M56 provides a maximum range of 480 mpg. Jaguar stands at the back with a range of 294 miles in the city, 423 miles on the highway, and 350 miles combined.
