The particular XJ is Jaguar's flagship and its particular
largest sedan offering, but an aluminum body along with structure keep it from
being a heavyweight. This relative lightness imparts an inferior, sportier feel
and plays into the XJ's nimble handling. The body itself is really a pretty daring
design and represents a huge departure from this nameplate's heritage.

2015 Jaguar XJ - Whereas the former
Jaguar XJ was stuck in
the era of doilies and substantial tea, the current car drops the necessity for
caffeine entirely. Contemporary design - including a new drop-dead gorgeous
roofline, a sail-away raise pillar, and runway-model sensibilities, by its
embossed grille to their bugle-beaded LED taillamps. Rear end styling can be
polarizing; its tucked-in look could look either understyled or wonderfully
different, depending on your eye. And the endless rings of brightwork inside
would have used some censoring--or an choice to tone that down a little.

At the base level, the 2015 Jaguar XJ comes equipped with a
340-horsepower supercharged 3. 0-liter V-6. Using 0-60 mph times of 5. 7 mere
seconds, it's within eight tenths from the supercharged V-8, yet returns
superior gas mileage (27 mpg around the highway). Jaguar XJs with the V-6 are
available with rear- or all-wheel generate, and with either the typical or long
wheelbase. The all-wheel-drive system incorporates a rearward torque bias,
although Jaguar notes it's intended for foul weather rather than performance.
The addition of all-wheel drive not too long ago finally put Jaguar in your
discussion for luxury buyers in places like the northeast.
