2013 Jaguar XF Supercharged
Generally speaking, I don’t get too upset about the growing need to replace displacement in modern cars. Sure, there are exceptions (don’t you touch my 6.2-liter AMG V8), but honestly, the industry’s new forced induction powertrains are all lovely, and their gains in fuel economy – when they actually make good on them – can make up for the ever-so-slight losses in performance or driving character.
But I’m having a hard time keeping my chin up with this Jaguar XF. For the 2013 model year, Jaguar has killed off the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 and fitted a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic in its place (and even offers a turbocharged four-cylinder engine below that).
That all sounds perfectly well and good, but a week behind the wheel of this British Racing Green sedan just left me missing that V8. And then some.
