Jaguar XJ Saloon (03-09) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 22 May 2007 Last Updated: 04 February 2009 The XJ has been a success in the UK, but its traditional styling has struggled to win Jaguar new customers. The paradox of the XJ - a very modern car with traditional styling - has been tempered slightly with changes in 2007. While the revised exterior styling doesn't spectacularly transform the appearance of the car, it does seem to make it a little more imposing at the front. The modifications are light in terms of engineering changes, but they do offer improved comfort with redesigned seats and improved rear leg room. Only one diesel is available, but it's an excellent 2.7-litre V6 that is also used in the S-Type and XF. 4 out of 5 Other Jaguar reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4 out of 5 Audi A8 Saloon (03-11) Superbly refined, excellent build quality, not as flashy as rivals Slightly bland image, tame driving experience Read full review 3.5 out of 5 BMW 7-Series (02-08) Supremely refined and comfortable, handles well for a large saloon, huge rear legroom Ungainly styling, Mercedes S-Class more cosseting and sophisticated inside Read full review 5 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (06 on) Exceptional refinement, the pinnacle of luxury travel, superb performance, sophisticated cabin High running costs, expensive to service Read full review Find other saloon cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
