Even more so when you encounter broken road surfaces which the XJ soaks up with ease, and steering that is precisely weighted allowing you to traverse the UK's winding roads at speeds that belie the car's size, but not weight thanks to its aluminum construction. Hard acceleration will see the gearbox skip shift down from eighth to third in an instance, accompanied by a discreet turbine like whine from the supercharger and a mooted, but distinctive growl from the exhausts.Ĭombine all that with the XJ's superlative cabin and distinctive body style and it makes a compelling argument not to buy German. Mated, like the others, to ZF's eight-speed transmission its silky smooth power is instantly delivered whatever the ratio you're in or speed you're doing.

Unless you want the ultimate bragging rights on the block or in the car park, this latest power unit from Jaguar delivers all the performance you need. Returning a combined fuel economy of 21 U.S. In both the XF and XJ the performance figures are identical: 0-60 mph acceleration in 5.7 secs and a top speed limited to 155 mph. But yes, it's sharper for sure.To achieve the same level of refinement as the V-8, Jaguar's engineers devised an innovative system of counter-rotating front and rear balancer weights. We don't see much after that as the image fades out and disguises the other side of the car giving us no view of the overall shape. It looks as if the new XJ will get a sharper XF-inspired bootlid, and there's the centrally-mounted badge with 'Jaguar' lettering, too. The only picture that we see is of the tail lamps and it looks like an LED unit running across the rear which looks very futuristic. Once the Jaguar XJ is tuned with an electric motor, the company will look to take on Tesla's Model S. The Jaguar XJ will be launched by early 2020 and the new-gen will also mark the 50th anniversary of the first XJ. The stage was set for the global unveil of the new generation Land Rover Defender but as Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover explained the history of the Defender, there was a picture that popped up on screen which gave us a glimpse of what the tail lamps of the next generation Jaguar XJ will look like.
