New Jaguar XJ

The new Jaguar XJ is the epitome of luxury and a class-leader. Every single part of this car has been carefully designed, tested and built exclusively to fit and complement it. At the helm, you’ll feel brave and adventurous – matching the model’s own innate sense of adventure. With four models in the Standard Wheelbase range – Luxury, Premium Luxury, Portfolio, R-Sport and XJ50 – there is a Jaguar XJ Series car to suit everyone. Or choose from the Long Wheelbase range and have the option of the Luxury, Premium Luxury, Portfolio, Autobiography or XJ50.

Features

A sharp, swooping roofline cuts through the air to enhance the model’s dynamics and keep wind resistance to a minimum. The heat-reflective roof covers most of the car’s top, extending from the base of the raked windscreen to the wraparound rear pane. As the XJ is made primarily from lightweight aluminium, it easily carves its path out on the road.

At the rear, the innovative and distinctive light clusters are made up of hundreds of LEDs, a safety feature that ensures instant illumination when the brake pedal is activated. The brake and reversing light cluster follows the contours of the boot to provide a flowing, perfectly-designed feature that shouts quality.

Interior

The panoramic glass roof gives the interior an expansive look – one that’s evident and real when you enter. Whether you select the car with a short or long wheelbase, the amount of space around your seat will be impressively wide. Stretch back and relax as a passenger, or carefully position your steering wheel and seat for the most immersive driving atmosphere. A Virtual Instrument Panel provides clear displays on a futuristic flat screen, and it automatically varies to show the real-time information you need. All other infotainment functions are accessed via the integrated eight-inch touchscreen.

XJ Engines and Chassis

To ensure that the model maintains its place at the front of its class, it’s offered with the choice of a 3.0-litre V6 or 5.0-litre V8 Supercharged engine. Every version achieves the 0-60mph sprint in six seconds or less, propelled by at least 271bhp. They all also pair up with a smooth eight-speed gearbox, and JaguarDrive Selector enables you to quickly switch between bespoke Drive and Sport modes.

The chassis is made of aluminium that gives the car a firmer, more stable ride and improves road holding whilst enhancing the thrill of driving. The aluminium frame also makes the car 40% lighter than the previous XJ model, which is considerably lighter than most other vehicles in its class. The chassis is also supported by an advanced air suspension system that lowers the body at speed, ensuring the car hugs the road, makes turns securely and steers responsively.

Safety

As you glide elegantly and confidently along the road, you’re constantly protected by both active and passive safety systems. The reinforced safety shell that encapsulates all current-generation Jaguars is just one line of defence, bolstered by surrounding airbags and whiplash protection. Sensors in each seat will evaluate the effects of a collision on each passenger and activate the seatbelt tension accordingly. To avoid causing harm to pedestrians, the model can sense obstacles and raise the bonnet out of the way.
