2022 Jaguar XF

The SE trim of the 2022 Jaguar XF should be given priority in the lineup. Though the S trim has a long list of standard features but it lacks the additional ones, unlike the SE. The optional 16-speaker Meridian Surround Sound System and 16-way power-adjustable seats with heating, ventilation and massage functions are also advised to be opted for to justify the actual stance of this luxury sedan.

The 2022 Jaguar XF sedan introduces itself in two configurations namely S and SE. The S trim costs $45,300 and beholds assets such as Pivi with 11.4-inch touchscreen and 12-speaker Meridian Sound System for an enriching experience. It also gets Grained leather front seats with heating functions. And the Blind Spot Assist with Rear Traffic and Clear Exit Monitor make up for the safety unit.

The SE trim has been priced at $48,200 for which it further extends the standard list with Adaptive cruise control in safety unit and Pivi Pro in infotainment. Moreover, the optional 16-speaker Meridian surround sound system can also be integrated into this over the standard one.
