It's the pick of the trio of engines, the V6, combining stellar performance with an intoxicating soundtrack that must rank as one of the best of any six-cylinder on the market. Whether changing up or down, there's no lag or lack of responsiveness, and in sportier driving modes it'll hold a gear until you ask otherwise - something usually only associated with dual-clutch setups.Р”В«ut top of the pile sits the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 in the S model, paired exclusively with all-wheel-drive to ensure all 380 hp and 332 lb-ft reach the tarmac without loss of traction. The eight-speed transmission, which is used in all the trims is smooth and barely felt at lower speeds. It may lack a soulful soundtrack, but at least it delivers the goods where it counts, unlike the 25t spec, which can be frustratingly slow at times and incapable of dealing with the heft of the XF. The 30t is the pick of the four-bangers, with a greater sense of urgency accompanying throttle inputs. Models equipped with a 25t designation make use of a turbocharged four-cylinder engine developing 247 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque, while the 30t badged models see a re-tune of the same engine yielding 296 hp and 295 lb-ft. That leaves us with the 25t, 30t, and 3.0 V6 options, all of which retain their partnership with a ZF sourced eight-speed automatic gearbox. Three engines make up the 2020 XF line-up, with the diesel option dropped from the range for the new model year.
