This is the face-lifted Jaguar XJ

This is the face-lifted Jaguar XJ luxury car - it makes its first appearance at the Geneva Motor Show next week and arrives on UK roads this July.

The updated car has a new front-end design with mesh grille, vents in the front wings, lower sills, a small rear spoiler and a new rear bumper. Inside, an all-new seat design has increased rear legroom, and heated front seats are now standard across the range.

Executive - £43,540 for 3.0-litre petrol, £45,520 for 2.7-litre diesel.
A heated windscreen, 19-inch alloy wheels and heated front seats are added to this entry-level specification, which also includes leather upholstery, electric seats, climate control, remote central locking, front and rear electric windows and a multi-CD stereo.

Sovereign - £49,540 for 3.0-litre petrol, £51,520 for 2.7-litre diesel and £58,040 for 4.2-litre petrol.
Sovereign models have a new alloy wheel design, and also gain satellite-navigation, softer-grain leather, added seat adjustment and xenon headlights.

Sport Premium - £51,520 for 2.7-litre diesel
This sportier-looking alternative to the Sovereign continues to feature seats from the range-topping R, aluminium veneers, black window surrounds, 20-inch alloy wheels and satellite-navigation. The only new addition is black front wing vents.

R - £60,150 for supercharged 4.2-litre petrol
New aluminium vents, R-badged gearknob and black brake calipers complete the face-lift for the range-topping model.
