The Jaguar has drive control which is standard which allows the driver to have three settings whilst driving which has standard mode for normal conditions, winter mode which is used for rain, snow and other low grip conditions and dynamic mode with the driving being able to alter the throttle response and change gear timing. 

There are a few features you can add when purchasing the Jaguar which make the price of the car soon add up like the black gloss finish pack £650, advanced parking £1,620, rear privacy glass £375, advanced safety pack £820 and more.

Myself personally and many others refer the Jaguar saloon cars to more older people like over the age of 40 which Jaguar have been trying to show isn’t the case by adding different sport packs, grills, bigger engines and more. When I personally went out in it I found it very quick but the handling was very poor espcially on a wet surface where the car almost ended side ways when putting not much power down coming off a roundabout where the Bmw handles extemely well in wet conditions and can still perform to a high standard. 

The advantages of the Jaguar is that it does have a powerful 3.0D engine with good sport finishes and offers a lot of luxury with a variety of different trims. The engine makes it effortlessly quick even though it’s a disel engine and weights a lot. The disadvantages are that the stronger disel engine costs thousands more than than the 2.0D or 2.2D with it only offering 80 bhp more the 3.0D. Overall it’s a lot more money just to shed a few tenths off a 0-60 time.
