X Is For Exceptional
X Is For Exceptional
With its strong lightweight aluminium body, XJ provides agility and superlative handling. This, combined with its anticipatory technology, allows XJ to react to road conditions and other cars alike. No car feels like XJ.
XJ turns heads and attracts glances. Its fusion of honed dynamic lines and sculpted elegance is designed to fulfil the core Jaguar values of beauty, purity, simplicity and consistency. The objective was never 'merely' to create the world's most beautiful sporting saloon but to produce a more efficient shape where the pinnacles of aesthetics and aerodynamics work together in complete accord. You haven't just got there in XJ. You've arrived.
You can see and touch the XJ's opulent good looks. What you hear and feel is its compelling and spirited driving performance. These living, sensory experiences are part of XJ's extraordinary characteristics. XJ's robust capabilities are reflected in its low, wide stance and long taut waistline. Design and engineering come to life.
XJ's cabin is both contemporary and luxurious, created to excite the senses. Comfort and quality reign supreme with form hugging supple leather, contemporary surfaces and a choice of real wood or carbon fibre veneers. These laser cut veneer leaves are painstakingly positioned so that the grain patterns on either side of the cabin mirror one another. Leather is sourced from the finest hide suppliers in the UK and Italy. It is glove-soft and inspired by the latest couture fashion of London's Bond Street.
XJ is driven by a choice of exceptional engines built to satisfy different driving requirements but always ensuring outstanding performance and handling. They all feature 8-speed transmission for whisper smooth gear changes, delivering both a more responsive ride and fuel economy benefits. Drive mode or Sport mode can be chosen with the JaguarDrive Selector. Sport mode allows full manual gearshift control of XJ using one-touch paddles mounted behind the steering wheel. Even in the automatic Drive mode, the paddles allow temporary override for the instant power needs that manoeuvres like overtaking demand.
XJ's aluminium construction breaks the mould. It is designed to be strong but incredibly light, with near perfect weight distribution. The doors are one piece, rather than the usual three components, making them lighter, stiffer and more durable too. Furthermore 50 percent of the aluminium used is from recycled sources. The Adaptive Dynamics system continuously monitors the suspension, varying the damping to suit the conditions. These intelligent adjustments, made 500 times a second, help keep XJ as flat and stable as possible, improving your control and handling without any loss of ride comfort.
As Jaguar's flagship vehicle, XJ excels. Never before has a Jaguar looked so beautiful and delivered such luxury with such power. While its anticipatory technology makes handling effortless, its sumptuous cabin creates the ultimate space for working and relaxing. Form and functionality are seamlessly brought together in one peerless vehicle. Sleek outside, sensuous inside, XJ is engineered and tailored to look after you.
