Continental TS850 or TS860 and Nokian WR G2 come in the right 20 inch size for Jaguar. The Nokian WR G3 is not yet available in 20 in.
Either is competitive with Sottozeros.
In fact, both outperform the Sottozeros in important categories. I prefer the Pirelli but the numbers favour the other brands.
Bridgestone LM 32 is one of the current top winter performance tires and is also available in Europe in this size, I believe.

I just went thorough a brief snow storm < 2" accumulation and my XF did surprisingly well. I thought a SC V8 rwd would be terrible and it wasn't bad. I still had to use common sense but it actually surprised me. This was on Continental Extreme Contact DWS.
All things being equal, namely tires, I'd say AWD is still better in winter. My S4 and a loaner C class 4matic were more confidence inspiring even on all season tires.

I drover the jag through the ice storms in Ontario this winter it did fine on regular all seasons. The winter mode makes a difference also keep a light foot and the car wont fish tail. I do think winter tires are needed though as it makes driving easier but driving it on the stock continental is a lot of fun.
