    Road test verdicts don’t come any tighter than this, and neither of these cars will leave you feeling short-changed. The Jaguar is the emotional choice, as its beautiful looks and unique cabin provide a feelgood factor that’s missing from the BMW. But a quick drive in the 535d throws a different light on matters.

    The German car’s incredible engine, brilliant gearbox and more capable chassis are enough to place clear daylight between our duo. So this meeting has all the hallmarks of a 535d win… until you look at the numbers. The XF’s huge specification and strong residuals cancel out the advantage of the BMW’s lower emissions.

    You really can argue the case either way but, in this most focused of tests, the Jaguar has the edge. We’re not convinced by the styling tweaks of M Sport trim, and for all its ability, the BMW is too expensive. Victory here goes to the Jaguar.
