Overview
What this generation is, and who it suits.
The XD is DAF's new-generation distribution and regional-haulage truck, launched in 2022 as the CF's successor and named International Truck of the Year 2023. It brings the flagship XF/XG cab architecture — designed to the EU's relaxed length rules — down to the distribution class, with a low dashboard, deep windscreen, optional kerb-view window and digital mirrors giving class-leading direct vision for urban safety.
Power comes from Paccar MX-11 and MX-13 engines with the TraXon automated gearbox, and electric XD versions extend the range for zero-emission city work. As a nearly new truck its used market is still forming; residuals and reliability indicators from fleets are early but positive, with the usual caveat that its advanced driver-assist and camera systems need dealer-level support — a consideration anywhere DAF coverage is thin, including South Asia.

Frequently asked questions
How does the XD differ from the old CF?
It uses the completely new XG-family cab with far better visibility, updated MX engines and current-generation safety systems. It is a ground-up replacement rather than a facelift.
Is there an electric XD?
Yes, DAF offers battery-electric XD variants aimed at urban and regional distribution, with modular battery packs sized to the route profile.
What should early used buyers watch?
Confirm software updates and calibration of the camera-mirror and assist systems, and buy with service history from a DAF dealer where possible. The mechanical driveline is shared with proven XF-family hardware.
