Hoping to take on their German competitors, Jaguar have introduced their super luxurious all new Jaguar XJ. At an exclusive event at the Saatchi Gallery in London the model was unveiled and Jaguar are going to do their very best to become the new class leader.
The interior of Jaguar’s have always had a sense of occasion, and the new XJ certainly doesn’t dissapoint. Say goodbye to the flat wood dash inserts and in comes a much more modern look. Press the start button and the gear selection dial rises from the centre console and the primary instrumentation appears out of no-where too. The new Jaguar XJ is the first car to have an entirely digital instrumentation.
What is effectively a high-definition TV screen sits in front of the steering wheel and shows the speedometer, fuel temperature, rev counter, satelite navigation and any other messages. It works as well as it looks and is the sign of future displays. The seats are comfortable and supportive and the interior space is first class and the rear legroom is superb.
The 3-litre V6 diesel propels the car to 62mph in 6.4 seconds and offers impressive a mid-range grunt for effective overtaking. Running costs are likely to appeal to many with 184g/km and 40.1mpg. A 5-litre option is also offered but with less performance and high running costs, Jaguar are not expecting this model to be too popular.
The new Jaguar XJ has set new standards for the luxury car sector with it’s radical looks both inside and out.
Prices are expected to start at around £53,000 and are due to go on sale in May this year.
