That’s the verdict of industry valuation company Kwik Car in advance of the new model arriving in UK retailers later this month.

Priced from £32,300, the all-new Jaguar XF will hold on to 41% per cent of its value over three years and 60,000 miles, according to Kwik Car; up 4% on the Mercedes E-Class (37%) and 6% on the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series (35%). 

According to Kwik Car the XF also has the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) of any comparable premium executive saloon. Over three years / 60,000 miles the XF’s TCO is £3,073 better than a Audi A6, £4,033 better than a BMW 5 Series and £5,191 better than a Mercedes-Benz E Class.

In addition the new XF will offer more affordable insurance than any of its rivals. Insurance ratings will start from Group 25E – five groups better than the equivalent BMW 5 Series, seven better than the Audi A6 and eight better than the Mercedes E-Class.  

The all-new XF also bring Jaguar’s new aluminium-intensive lightweight architecture which, along with Jaguar’s efficient new Ingenium diesel engines, helps the XF to achieve official combined fuel economy up to 70.6mpg and CO2 emissions from 104g/km.

Jaguar Land Rover UK managing director Jeremy Hicks said: “The XF has been an enormous success for Jaguar, so replacing it was always going to be a difficult task. The challenge in creating the all-new model was to ensure that it improved on the out-going car in every way, not least in terms of cost of ownership. By ensuring that the new XF offers class-leading residual values, insurance costs, economy and emission levels, we’ve done exactly that.”
