The standard seating is bond-grain leather, there is satin-finish walnut and aluminum trim, a 320-watt, eight-speaker stereo and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The standard-equipment list is extensive and includes everything you would expect in a Jaguar, including rear park assist, passive keyless entry and start and a power glass sunroof.
The XF Premium ($56,150) is powered by the 5.0-liter normally-aspirated Gen III engine rated at 385 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque.
Its standard-equipment list adds a GPS navigation system, soft-grain leather on the seats, dash and door panels, three-stage heated front seats and 19-inch wheels, among other things.
