Unlike the driver-only memory seat and mirrors optional at extra cost in the S3, the XF SE/R-Dynamic has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position (with optional power wheel adjuster) and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.
The XF SE/R-Dynamic’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The S3 doesn’t offer an easy entry system.
The XF’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows. The S3’s visors are fixed into the windshield header.
A power rear sunshade is optional in the XF SE/R-Dynamic to help block heat and glare for the rear passengers. The S3 doesn’t offer a rear sunshade.
Both the XF and the S3 have standard heated front seats. The XF SE/R-Dynamic also offers optional heated rear seats to keep those passengers extremely comfortable in the winter. Heated rear seats aren’t available in the S3.
Optional air-conditioned seats in the XF SE/R-Dynamic keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The S3 doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.
On extremely cold winter days, the XF SE/R-Dynamic’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The S3 doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.
The XF R-Dynamic offers optional massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the S3.
To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Jaguar XF has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Wireless charging costs extra on the S3.
