2020 Jaguar XF

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2020 XF.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2020 Jaguar XF defines its mechanical profile with an S8 automatic transmission and an EPA-rated fuel economy of 25 city, 34 highway, and 28 combined mpg. When contextualized within the model's complaint history spanning 2009 to 2023, this iteration sits well past the problematic 2010 peak of 106 complaints. For researchers, this positioning indicates a vehicle on a clear downward trend in reported issues, benefiting from the maturation that ultimately culminated in a record low of just one complaint by 2023.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 96,000 mi; coolant at 160,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 160,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.
