THE NEW JAGUAR XJ AT A GLANCE
The all-new saloon is the seventh generation of Jaguar to carry the XJ badge. More than 800,000 XJs have been sold since the first model was introduced in 1968, accounting for over half of all Jaguars made.
Powerful yet restrained design captures the recognised elegance and tradition of the classic lineage while introducing a contemporary essence and style that is unique to the all-new XJ.
The all-new XJ is the most advanced production Jaguar ever, with aluminium-intensive construction providing new levels of strength, robustness and dynamic ability. It is the ultimate expression of Jaguar luxury saloon car engineering.
Blending the ultra-modern with traditional Jaguar values, the all-new XJ leads the way in the utilisation of intelligent, relevant technology while providing the style and contemporary luxury that are the trademarks of the brand. — BMW 6 Series Coupé.
The body structure features industry-first use of rivet-bonded joining technology, with self-pierce rivets and aerospace-sourced epoxy adhesive joining together the aluminium pressings, castings and extrusions.
Longer, taller and wider than its predecessor, with a longer wheelbase*, the all-new XJ offers improved headroom, legroom and shoulder-room for all occupants.
With a kerb weight of up to 200kg less than the outgoing XJ, the all-new model enjoys significant performance and fuel economy advantages in addition to highly capable dynamic qualities. — Mercedes C-Class Estate.
The full range of engines comprises 4.2-litre V8 (supercharged and naturally-aspirated), new 3.5-litre V8 and 3.0-litre V6, all with six-speed automatic transmission.
Self-levelling air suspension is standard on all models, as is Jaguar’s CATS Computer Active Technology Suspension system.
Advanced electronic technologies include Dynamic Stability Control, Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Alert, and Jaguar’s renowned A.R.T.S. Adaptive Restraint Technology System. — BMW's 2003 developments.
The all-new XJ saloon makes its public debut at the Paris Motor Show on 26th September and will go on sale from next spring, dependent on market.
Dimensions for the new XJ: Length 5080mm; Width 1868mm; Height 1448mm; Wheelbase 3034mm.
