12MY XF-S Portfolio v Premium Luxury

[latebreaker]

Hi all,

Can anyone summarise the additional standard specifications you get on a 12MY XF-S Portfolio v Premium Luxury?

So far I think you get as standard over the Pre Lux is:

-Suede headlining,
-Heated/cooled seats with increased adjustment,
-B&W system
-Contrast stitching?

Please correct me or add to the list

Also do you get the Draco Wheels on a Premium Luxury & Hydra on a Portfolio?

Hi Krish

Sorry for lateness of reply - been away from home with no Internet access.

Your list is correct. The Portfolio S seats have a higher backrest than Premium Lux and the adjustemetns are really good. I defy anyone who says they cannot achieve a comfortable position.

In addition to the interior extras there are also exterior ones as well.

These are:

1. Redisigned from spoiler/valance, with black grille.
2. Side skirts - previously an option.
3. New rear colour coded valance.
4. Boot lid spoiler.

I've had my new Portfolio S since 1 September and it is a great improvement on my previous Portfolio S. I have actually achieved 48mpg and am regularly having 44mpg.

Hope this helps

Hi Hugh,

Thanks for your response. I hope to pick up a Portfolio S if they fall into my budget, though I wont be looking to change for a couple of years yet. Some PL's have been spec'd up, but they still don't offer the those interior enhancements the Portfolio's do.

I've looked at 10MY's with the Aero pack and those very smart looking 20" Smoked Volans, which IMO improves the looks, but it still doesn't compare to the revised looks of the 12MY.

I didn't know the Portfolio seats have a higher backrest than the PL, good infor

Referring to your list of exterior enhancements, I thought these were standard on all 12MY 'S' models regardless of trim spec chosen?

That's some impressive mpg, on another Jaguar forum, members are complaining they are only getting 30-35mpg from their 12MY S!
