First up we’re comparing the Jaguar XF to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, a car that has existed under a few different names for 70 years. Impressive as that might be, it has maybe gone to their heads at Mercedes-Benz since they’re asking quite a lot for it. The significant price difference between the two cars means we’re comparing the higher-performance R-Dynamic trim of the XF to the E-Class and the Jaguar still comes in at a lower price tag. The XF also has the edge when it comes to horsepower while matching the torque rating of the E-Class.

If you were worried that the lower price of the Jaguar meant it would be smaller, you don’t need to be. You’ll enjoy greater legroom across both the front and rear rows of seats. And it’s not just size, you get more standard equipment with the XF as well including a premium stereo, larger wheels, adaptive cruise control, and wireless connectivity for smartphone integration controls. Lastly, Jaguar offers an impressive complimentary scheduled maintenance plan that you won’t find at Mercedes-Benz.

Now we have the BMW 530i up against the Jaguar XF, and a lot of this is going to look familiar after the Mercedes-Benz comparison, more money for less power, and all-wheel drive will cost you even more. In fact, just optioning the BMW up to have the AWD and 19-inch wheels that come standard on the XF would push the price of the 5 Series north of $60,000. The XF and the 5 Series are almost exactly the same size, with one notable exception, the XF once again offers more in the way of rear legroom.

Inside, you’ll find that Jaguar has paid better attention to the details than BMW. The 5 Series does actually come with as many speakers as the XF, but you’re going to get a far better amplifier in the Jaguar, and that makes a difference. On top of that, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay only work wirelessly in the XF. Lastly, we once again see that the Jaguar comes with a much better complimentary maintenance plan.
