Sir William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar Cars, had a philosophy -- he wanted all of his company's cars to deliver "Grace, Pace and Space" in equal measure to their owners. Now, thirty years after the great man's death, the Jaguar XF continues to embody that mantra, offering sublime performance, class-leading comfort and stunning good looks.

The first thing you'll notice about the XF is its elegantly sculpted bodywork. From all angles it really is a sensational-looking machine, managing to look both graceful and solid at the same time, in the way in which only a Jag can.

On the road, the XF puts its rivals to shame. Body control is impressive, even at high speeds, and the steering is pin-sharp, helping the car feel much lighter and more agile than its size would suggest. Even more impressive is the fact that the Jag feels both lithe and nimble while simultaneously offering limo-like comfort and refinement.

There's an engine to suit everyone, from the efficient and smooth 2.2-litre diesels, right up to the insane 5.0-litre 503bhp V8 in the BMW M5-rivalling XFR.

Factor in the XF's impressive equipment levels and competitive pricing and you're left with one inescapable fact: the Jaguar XF is the best large executive car money can buy.
