Overview

This XJ continues the Jaguar tradition of grace, pace and luxury. Revisions in 1997 refined it further, with V8 engines and a superb five-speed automatic gearbox. But at the competitive top end of the modern luxury car market – and challenged by the Audi A8 and BMW 7-Series – the XJ’s image seems just a little old-fashioned. A favourite with Government ministers, but don’t let that put you off.
