Jaguar had added style to the substance of the XF saloon by giving it a Black Pack makeover.
After the success of the
XK Black Pack, Jag thought it pertinent to extend the upgrade to its best selling executive saloon.
The styling pack comprises 20-inch wheels with diamond turned rims, a black grille and black window surrounds. Jaguar will only let you have it with certain colours - though with the choice including white, blue, grey, silver, red and black, you're unlikely to feel tonally hampered.
Buy the pack with an upper model like the Diesel S Premium Luxury, V8 Portfolio or R and it'll cost £950, though that rises to £1,700 for entry-level versions.
And choose the Black Pack in conjunction with the Aerodynamic Pack (different front bumper, grille inserts and side skirts) and you'll receive a gratifying £500 off the price of the latter. Cash back. Literally.
