The latest model in markets has emergency brakes as standard for models

Jaguar vehicles are well known but not ranked as high as Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Jaguar XJ has been evolved over the year by the British carmaker to keep it in line with current demands of buyers. If you want to avoid buying the new model you can have a look at second hand Jaguar engines remanufactured to run smooth. These units are cheap in price and good in performance so replacement of problematic units with these engines is a good idea. New all-electric Jaguar XJ will be available in markets in next year. It is very much clear from this plan that the company is keeping pace with the changing conditions. Greener and efficient saloon by Jaguar will be highly appreciated by the buyers. It is expected that this electric version will run up to 300 miles after fully charged. Though no details have been revealed officially by the company there are speculations about next year XJ model. It would surely be more expensive than present models. The latest model in markets has emergency brakes as standard for models with rear-wheel drive configuration. On completion of five decades of XJ, it has been named XJ50 to make it a special model. Android Auto and Apple Car-play are also there with certain advancements of the infotainment system. The navigation system takes input from voice command too so the driver can easily navigate the destination. The present model belongs to the fourth generation of XJ which has been introduced in 2011.

All-wheel drive models are also included in the lineup

This vehicle has been in markets for five decades and reconditioned JAGUAR XJ engine are offered to engine buyers. Range of the vehicle consists of powerful V6 and V8 engines so your aspiration of instant acceleration and strong performance is fulfilled. Handling is great and paired with accurate and responsive steering in the hands of the driver. All-wheel-drive models are also included in the line-up so you can choose them with either of the two engines. Short and long wheelbases make choice easy for those who want a spacious cabin and more room for passengers. Competitors of the car offer even generous space than it does for front-row occupants. Present model also misses some contemporary tech and safety features so you may not feel much attracted to this model. Boot space is also not adequate for this segment of cars as rivals offer deeper and bigger boot area. Moreover, you cannot fold-down rear seats to overcome this shortage of space for gears and luggage. With certain limitations, this car has made an impression and incoming model of the car these areas should have been improved. Buyers are happy on availability of supercharged V8 though already present V6 is adequately powered. The long-wheelbase is good as it gives you a spacious cabin and smooth cruising on motorways. Four-zone climate control facility, leather upholstery, massaging facility for front seats’ occupants and heating for four passengers at front and back. Ventilation is another advantage for buyers of XLJ Portfolio.

Jaguar XJ is different and you can feel

Usually, luxury vehicles prefer to be categorized as comfortable and smooth accelerators than perfect handling. Jaguar XJ is different and you can feel car’s near to perfection handling. It has been built by using aluminium so lighter in weight and adaptive suspension enhances ride quality. Jaguar is one of the few carmakers that still offers long wheelbase in addition to the standard wheelbase. JAGUAR engines supply and the fitting facility is a nice option and you without spending much money make your vehicle strong puller once again. Jaguar XJ driving experience not the best in class but still it manages to give a good driving experience with its reasonable power and fine handling. Its 3.0-litre V6 motor gets to 60mph speed mark in little above five seconds. This figure shows it is a strong contender in the class and received good rankings for this performance. The brake pedal is not as good as a luxury saloon should have been so you have to be careful till accustomed to this brake pedal feedback. In panic stop test it stops in 111 feet when brakes are applied at speed to 60mph and it is impressive as per standard of vehicles of this class.

Infotainment touch-screen interface

Interior is remarkable and optional premium seat package enhances this feel. It includes power seats, laptop tables, dual touch screens and winged head-rest gives you a true premium feel of a luxury car. For small items, there are places available to passengers of both rows. Thanks to centre armrest bins and good size glove-box. The infotainment touchscreen interface is not of the quality which is found in the latest infotainment systems offered by other vehicles. Graphics are good but functionality again falls short of high standards. Mirror finish surfaces create a problem on a sunny day and distract person on driving seat. Large doors provide easy access and get closed without making a harsh sound. Slanting roof gives you good styling but contracts headroom for rear-seat occupiers and it is also the case with XJ. Forward visibility is good and with some drawbacks, this car deserves to be tested before deciding in favour of any rival.
