2023 XF 300 Sport Arrives

A new 300 Sport model grade is the sole Jaguar XF variant for Model Year 2023, with more of some features as standard – but less of others. The new XF 300 Sport – distinguished by black exterior styling elements, with a carry-over petrol engine – is priced from $115,360 plus on-road costs, equating to $8984 more than the previous sole model grade of Jaguar’s largest sedan, the P300 R-Dynamic HSE. Compared to the R-Dynamic HSE, new features for the 300 Sport include adaptive suspension, configurable drive modes, the Black Exterior Pack (black exterior trim), wireless phone charging, and a black contrast roof. A set of 16-way power front seats with heating and memory (previously $2885 extra) replace 12-way power seats without heating, while the black headliner is now made from suede, rather than fabric. However, the 12-inch digital instrument cluster has returned from standard equipment to an $845 option, and the previously-standard Clear Exit Monitor (which alerts occupants if they’re about to open their door into oncoming traffic) is no longer available, even as an option. The Activity Key and HomeLink garage opener – previously $910 and $700 options on Model Year 2022 vehicles – are not available for 2023. Powering the car is the same 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine as the R-Dynamic HSE, routing its 221kW (or 300 metric horsepower, giving it its badge) and 400Nm outputs to all four wheels through an eightspeed automatic gearbox. A zero to 100km/h time of 6.1 seconds is carried over from the 2022 model – but Jaguar now quotes combined fuel consumption of 7.4 litres per 100km, up 0.2L/100km on the old model. 2023 Jaguar XF 300 Sport standard features: ▪ 20-inch silver and black ‘Style 5107’ wheels with tyre repair kit ▪ Premium LED headlights with auto high beam, animated indicators ▪ Darkened LED tail-lights ▪ Black Exterior Pack with black contrast roof ▪ Adaptive suspension ▪ Configurable drive modes ▪ 355mm front and 325mm rear discs ▪ 11.4-inch touchscreen with Apple
