Verdict
The X260 is the cleaner buy if you can stretch: against the X250 Facelift’s RM398,888, it asks RM424,528, a RM25,640 lift, but returns 7.5 L/100km instead of 8.9, cuts CO2 from 207 to 179 g/km and trims 0-100 km/h from 7.9 to 7.5 seconds with the same 1,999 cc, 237 hp petrol engine. Road tax stays RM380. It also has a 2,960 mm wheelbase and 540-litre boot versus 2,909 mm and 500 litres. But the older car has 8 airbags, not 6.
Pick the Jaguar XF X250 Facelift if you want the lower entry price, 8 airbags and the same 237 hp/340 Nm rear-drive layout, and can live with the higher 8.9 L/100km figure.
Pick the Jaguar XF X260 if you can pay RM25,640 more for the quicker 7.5-second sprint, 7.5 L/100km economy, longer 5-year warranty and bigger 540-litre boot.
