The Big Cat is taking another radical leap forward – and in an amazing exclusive, Auto Express has the pictures to prove it! Following hot on the heels of the XF, Jaguar’s S-Type replacement, the British firm is set to reveal an even more dramatic model in the shape of this new flagship, the XJ. The newcomer has one aim – to beat the Audi A8, BMW 7-Series and Mercedes S-Class at their own game. And with gorgeous looks, a fabulous driving experience and Jaguar’s first-ever hybrid powerplant, the new XJ is set to propel the marque back to the top of the luxury saloon class. <span class="intext"> <script type='text/javascript'></script><noscript><a href='http://www.autoracingdaily.com/0pen@ds/www/delivery/ck.php?n=abcb3366&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.autoracingdaily.com/0pen@ds/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=47&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&n=abcb3366' border='0' alt='' /></a></noscript> </span> Under the skin, the saloon will use an updated version of the current car’s aluminium chassis. The wheelbase will remain virtually identical, so improvements in space will come from mounting the rear seats lower – to give better headroom – as well as the use of sculpted front seatbacks, which boost legroom. Major updates will be made to the dashboard, with a facia modelled on the XF’s. That means it will feature touchscreen displays, motion-sensing controls and Jaguar’s new DriveSelect rotating gear selector, which rises from the transmission tunnel when the ignition key is turned. As with the uncluttered exterior, the cabin will be simple, with high-quality woods and leathers, and plenty of cool blue mood lighting. http://www.autoracingdaily.com/17480/
