February 15, 2013 by admin

Jaguar XJ series, was and is and will remain to be one of the finest sports car in UK.

Jaguar XJ is the series of luxury cars sold under the British Jaguar marquee.The first XJ was launched in 1968 and the current “Jaguar XJ” was launched in 2009.Its a four door luxury sedan and maintains the classic styling and tradition.Its a perfect combination of modern construction and traditional styling and it sets the racing tracks on fire.It is a longer and wider car and looks much bigger than its predecessor.

It has sleeker lights,larger and squarer grille and a more aggressive appearance.It also has a standard full length sun roof. X351 is available with both standard and long wheel base. The 2009 Jaguar XJ is available in five trim levels :base XJ8, XJ8 L (long wheelbase), ultra-luxurious Vanden Plas, performance-oriented XJR and the Super V8. The 2009 Jaguar XJ-Series is made entirely of aluminium,giving it slightly better gas mileage and aerodynamics.Standard equipment on the XJ8 and XJ8L includes 19-inch wheels, an adaptive suspension, xenon headlamps, front and rear park assist, a sunroof, auto-dimming and heated mirrors, dual-zone climate control, 14-way power front seats with driver memory functions, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals, heated front and rear seats, leather upholstery, burl walnut trim, a power rear sunshade, Bluetooth, a navigation system and a 12-speaker Alpine stereo with a CD player.Interior design is much better than its predecessor.

Even at 100 mph the cabin hushes wind and road noise.And the interior has soft leather trim,burn walnut veneer and commodious space. The XJ8, the base trim, carries a six-speed automatic paired with a V8 engine that produces 300 hp. It get 16 mpg in city and 25 mpg in highway.

The XJR adds some power, 100 hp specifically, and boasts a 4.2-liter, 400-hp supercharged V8. Its engine helps you to reach 62 miles per hour in just 5 seconds.The engine type is gas and uses premium unleaded fuel.The fuel tank capacity is 22.5 gal. The main advantage of Jaguar XJ series is they have excellent balance between ride and handling,speed proportional power steering, dualzone climate controls for both the driver and passenger,front and rear lights,audio and cruise controls on steering wheel itself,retained accessory power,effortless V8 acceleration,classy cabin,extremely spacious rear seat and wide range of driver seat adjustments.You also have front and rear parking sensors and universal remote transmitter and much more strengths.

Well,it also has some disadvantages like some confusing controls, low buck switch gear, lacks some high-end electronics such as an iPod connection and it has shallow trunk.

So,the JAGUAR XJ series is truly a revolution.
