DAF XG – the current flagship range from Eindhoven: XG and XG+ cab, tractor unit and rigid chassis, PACCAR MX engines, 330 to 390 kW, gross weight up to 43 tonnes
The DAF XG is the flagship range of New Generation trucks introduced in 2021 from the PACCAR plant in Eindhoven, replacing the previous XF cab at the top of the range. The type designation follows DAF's logic: XG denotes the standard cab, XG+ the taller cab version with more standing height, the number (430, 450, 480, 530) gives the engine power in hp, FA marks the rigid chassis for bodywork, FT the tractor unit, and suffixes such as FAR, FAN, FTG, FTP and FTS denote roof height and cab equipment; fully electric variants with the Electric suffix have recently joined the range.

The register lists here 44 versions with six-cylinder engines throughout, displacements of 10,837 to around 12,902 cm³, unladen weights of 7,360 to 22,311 kg, gross weights of 19,500 to 43,000 kg, lengths of 6,400 to 12,380 mm and widths of 2,550 to 2,600 mm; for part of the models outputs of 330 to 390 kW are recorded.
The XG competes directly in European long-haul transport with the Mercedes-Benz Actros, Scania S/R, Volvo FH and MAN TGX and is regarded as one of the most aerodynamically and ergonomically developed cabs in the class; DAF has for years been one of Europe's best-selling truck makers.
On a used long-haul tractor unit, operating hours and mileage, the condition of the clutch and automatic transmission (TraXon), the AdBlue and exhaust system, the tyres and brakes of the drive axle, and, on the electric variants, battery condition and charging history all count; parts and service run through the dense DAF dealer network.
