Building on the success of the new XK and XF models, the introduction of the all-new XJ is a landmark for the revitalised Jaguar brand. Already renowned for its elegant sporting lines, the all-new XJ, with its fluid contemporary style, is the boldest interpretation yet of design director Ian Callum’s vision for the Jaguar of the 21st century.
The elongated teardrop shape of the side windows establishes the car’s silhouette and lies at the heart of its flowing design. But the new XJ doesn’t just look streamlined, it shares a drag coefficient of 0.29 with the XF saloon, making them the most aerodynamic Jaguars ever.
The cabin blends elegant, contemporary design with the comfort, luxury and unmistakable sporting style of a Jaguar. The chrome and piano black detailing provides an eye-catching contrast to the beautifully crafted leather and veneer surfaces.
Inner beauty
The all-new XJ’s beauty is much more than skin-deep. The exquisitely designed interior has a strong sporting character throughout. The coupé profile cloaks a spacious cabin that offers a capacity comparable to saloons. It provides generous accommodation for five occupants, while the long wheelbase models provide rear-seat passengers with an even greater level of comfort thanks to an additional 125mm of rear legroom.
A panoramic glass roof, standard on all models, dramatically enhances the sense of light and space inside the new XJ. And in keeping with its status as the ultimate four-door Jaguar, the XJ introduces a new generation of interior technologies, pioneering the use of display and infotainment systems such as the innovative Virtual Instrument dials and the optional 1,200W Bowers & Wilkins premium surround sound system.
Stunning 12.3-inch high-definition Virtual Instruments complement an innovative, dual-view technology 8-inch touch screen that can project DVDs for the passengers while the driver keeps an eye on the vehicle functions and satellite navigation.
An incredible body
The body is constructed using Jaguar’s aerospace-inspired lightweight technology. Primarily aluminium but also utilising magnesium and composite alloys, it allows Jaguar to produce a significantly lighter and stiffer body – the lightest in its class. The new structure, which retains the same aerospace-based riveting and bonding processes, has been refined using these new materials to deliver improved strength, enhanced refinement and superior safety performance.
The new XJ offers the choice of four powerful and refined engines, which use the latest powertrain technology to deliver an outstanding combination of performance and class-leading efficiency. The supremely powerful supercharged 510PS 5.0-litre AJ-V8 Gen III will head the line-up with a 0-60mph time of 4.7 seconds (0-100kph in 4.9 seconds); 470PS supercharged and 385PS naturally aspirated petrol V8s are also available, dependent on the market.
A no-compromise diesel alternative is provided by the formidable 275PS 3.0-litre AJ-V6D Gen III. With twin sequential turbochargers, this is an engine that delivers on every aspect of the Jaguar driving experience, marrying tremendous drive and amongst the best fuel economy and CO2 emissions in the diesel segment.
Drive for life
The XJ delivers a driving experience as memorable as the car’s appearance. Benefitting from technologies pioneered on the exciting new XFR and XKR models, including continuously variable damping (Adaptive Dynamics), electronically controlled rear differential (Active Differential Control) and a quick ratio power-steering system, the new XJ combines responsive sporting dynamics with the refined, supple ride expected from a luxury Jaguar.
With its unique lightweight aluminium body and advanced new powertrains, the all-new XJ already has a head start when it comes to sustainable performance. The aluminium body uses more than 50% recycled material and the body panels made from recycled material use only 5% of the energy required for new aluminium, making a potential saving of 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per vehicle, compared to a bodyshell made from new aluminium.
A revolution in cutting edge design, sustainable technology and performance, the all-new Jaguar XJ is a predatory force of nature, and an exhilarating driving experience. |
