A Review Of The All New Jaguar XJ 2010


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

The new XJ is the epitome of fluid, contemporary automotive style. The elongated teardrop shape of the side windows establishes the car’s silhouette and lies at the heart of its flowing design. And 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.

A coupe profile cloaks a cabin that offers comparable levels of space to saloons with a more conventional style. There is generous accommodation for five occupants, while long-wheelbase models provide rear-seat passengers with even greater levels of comfort thanks to an additional 125mm of rear legroom.

The exquisitely designed interior has a strong sporting character throughout. 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 optional 1200W Bowers & Wilkins premium surround sound system.

All of Jaguar’s acclaimed new ultra-efficient Gen III petrol and technologist engines leave be forthcoming in the XJ. The 3.0-litre V6 diesel, 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 and 5.0-litre emotional V8 possess already established their intelligence of ability, and they are married by a 470 horsepower version of the supercharged engine. Supply economy and emissions are also conspicuous, with the diesel-powered XJ backward occluded action figures of 40.1mpg and CO2 emissions of 184g/km.

Proven Jaguar changing technologies are confiscated to new levels in the all-new XJ. Features such as air dangling, Accommodative Kinetics (continuously protean damping), Astir Differential Check and quick-ratio powerfulness management utter the combining of tractable, incentive touch and mincing, flexile couple prospective from a Jaguar.

“Salon Prive is the right choice for us to debut the new XJ,” said Geoff Cousins, UK Managing Director of Jaguar Cars.  “The quintessentially British setting of the Hurlingham Club is the ideal venue to debut the latest in a long line of iconic British luxury cars and the event offers an excellent opportunity to put the new XJ in front of an audience of potential customers.”

This year’s Salon Prive is expected to be the biggest yet, with ticket demand higher than ever, driven by an unprecedented number of super and luxury car debuts and an extensive Concours d’ Elegance. girlracer
