All-New Jaguar XJ

ALL-NEW XJ IN SUMMARY

The all-new Jaguar XJ brings a daring new spirit to automotive luxury. Sleek, sporting and sophisticated, it offers a seductive mix of striking design, breathtaking performance and engineering without compromise.

Building on the success of the XK and XF models, the introduction of the all-new XJ is a landmark for the revitalised Jaguar brand. The company’s four-door flagship, it extends the appeal of the XJ to a new generation.

Standard- and long-wheelbase models are available from launch. The long-wheelbase offers an even more sumptuous and refined environment for rear-seat passengers with an additional 125mm of legroom.

Jaguars are renowned for their elegant, sporting lines and the all-new XJ, with its fluid, contemporary style, is the boldest interpretation yet of Design Director Ian Callum’s vision for Jaguar in the 21st century.

The XJ’s beauty is more than skin-deep: it is constructed using aerospace-inspired aluminium body technology, which makes the XJ lighter than its rivals by at least 150kg. These technologies improve performance, handling and economy, while delivering increased strength, refinement and safety.

Proven Jaguar dynamic technologies are taken to new levels in the all-new XJ. Features such as air suspension, Adaptive Dynamics, Active Differential Control and quick-ratio power steering deliver the blend of responsive, dynamic handling and refined, supple ride expected from a Jaguar.

The XJ benefits from the most advanced, powerful and efficient Jaguar powertrains ever. Customers will have (dependent on market) a choice of four petrol and diesel engines, all coupled to a shift-by-wire, six-speed automatic transmission:

o 3.0-litre 275PS AJ-V6D Gen III diesel with twin sequential turbochargers – 0-60mph in 6.0 secs (0-100kph in 6.4 secs).

o 5.0-litre 385PS AJ-V8 Gen III naturally aspirated direct-injection V8 petrol - 0-60mph in 5.4 secs (0-100kph in 5.7 secs)

o 5.0-litre 470PS AJ-V8 Gen III supercharged V8 direct-injection petrol - 0-60mph in 4.9 secs (0-100kph in 5.2 secs)

o 5.0-litre 510PS AJ-V8 Gen III supercharged V8 direct-injection petrol - 0-60mph in 4.7 secs (0-100kph in 4.9 secs)

Advanced new technologies include stunning, 12.3-inch high-definition Virtual Instruments and an innovative, Dual-View technology 8-inch Touch-screen that can project DVD movies or television programmes to the passenger while the driver views vehicle functions or follows satellite navigation.

The Jaguar brand has been acknowledged this year by J.D. Power and Associates with a joint first ranking in the Vehicle Dependability study 2009.

The aluminium structure – with 50 percent recycled material – underpinned by a lifecycle approach to vehicle manufacture, enables the new XJ to minimise its carbon footprint. This creates a potential saving of three tonnes of CO2 per vehicle, compared to a bodyshell made from new aluminium.

The all-new XJ offers extremely attractive cost of ownership with impressive fuel economy across the range (3.0-litre AJ-V6D turbodiesel returns 40.1mpg and 184g/km CO2), high predicted residual values and 15,000-mile service intervals.
