Jaguar XJ

 Bruce Whitaker

Jaguar has freshened up its flagship XJ range with a more contemporary and bold appearance, heat-exchanger managed seat temperature control and revised interiors fitted out with upgraded entertainment and information systems. 

  

Styling changes include a new front bumper with revised mesh grilles and chrome detailing; vertical vents in the front wings (aluminum finish on XJR); new mirrors, new rear bumper; subtle lip spoiler on the trunk lid; and revised exhaust tips. 

  

The XJ receives new heated seats with optional air cooling that have been designed to offer both more comfort and support. Air is heated or cooled via a heat exchanger in the seatbacks and directed to the seat surface through channels in the seats. The perforated seat covers allow the cooled or heated air to pass through. Heated seats will be standard but the cooling element is an option. 

  

All XJ versions will have a new relaxed leather trim and the backs and lower cushions of the front seats have been revised to provide more legroom and foot room for rear-seat passengers. 

  

Satellite navigation, the latest Bluetooth connectivity and audio entertainment systems are supported and controlled by a 7-inch Touchscreen or JaguarVoice control, which can control many of the car’s features. The latest Bluetooth technology allows up to five approved phones to be paired to the in-car phone system. 

  

The new XJ offers a broad choice of V6 and V8 engines, including the 2.7-liter twin-turbo diesel and the 400-horsepower 4.2-liter supercharged gasoline V8.
