The cabin air filter in a Jaguar XF is located behind the glove box. Below are detailed specifications of the Jaguar XF: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Jaguar XF is positioned as a mid-size luxury sedan from Jaguar, available in standard, Sportbrake (wagon), and high-performance XFR variants. 2. Interior Features: The XF is equipped with a 7-inch multimedia color touchscreen integrating Bluetooth, navigation system, Bowers & Wilkins premium audio, climate control system, and vehicle settings. 3. Powertrain: The lineup features 2.0L turbocharged and 3.0L supercharged engines. The 2.0T engine delivers maximum power of 177kW (240PS) at 5500rpm with peak torque of 340Nm between 2000-3000rpm. The 3.0L supercharged engine produces 250kW (340PS) at 6500rpm with 450Nm torque available from 3500-5000rpm. All models come with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I remember replacing the cabin air filter on my Jaguar XF several times by myself. It's located under the passenger side footwell area, to be precise, you need to open the passenger door and look down at the small access panel above the floor mat. After removing a few clips, the filter housing will be exposed. The replacement process is straightforward: pull out the old filter and insert the new one. This location is designed to protect the filter from dust impact while allowing easy maintenance for owners. I recommend checking it every year or 15,000 kilometers, as a clogged filter can degrade cabin air quality, potentially causing respiratory issues or AC odors. Before starting, park on level ground, turn off the engine and disconnect power for safety, and keep children away. Knowing this location has saved me considerable maintenance costs and time.
