How this compares
At 23 MPG combined, the 2018 Jaguar XF ranks 19th of 24 midsize cars EPA rated for 2018 — 3.5 MPG short of the 26.5 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,300, $700 more than the $2,600 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $16,500, a $3,500 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 377 grams per mile — about 5.7 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
