What does it cost?
For The Jaguar XJ is brilliant to drive, has an imaginatively designed cabin and comes with loads of luxury equipment.
Against Rear headroom is tight, the low-speed ride is firm and the petrol engines are very thirsty.
What Car? says
The somewhat controversial styling of the Jaguar XJ may divide opinion, but there’s no arguing with its classy cabin and engaging driving manners.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
If you spend most of your life being chauffeured, you’ll prefer a Mercedes S-Class. But, if you enjoy driving, no other luxury saloon will reward you like an XJ.
Money no object? Try the supercharged 5.0-litre V8 petrol, with performance and handling to rival the quickest supercars. Yet, back off the gas, and it's a whisper-quiet cruiser.
Mind you, its thirst is as savage as its performance, so the diesel is the XJ of choice. It’s an effortless performer, with 47mpg economy and refinement to rival the petrol models.
The car comes in long- and short wheelbase forms, but neither is cramped.
If you’re feeling flush, Portfolio trim gives you a superb Meridian stereo, a rear parking camera, headlights that respond to your steering inputs and a suede headlining.
Even the ‘basic’ models are lavishly equipped, though, with leather-trimmed, electric front seats, dual-zone climate control, twin glass sunroofs and a touch-screen infotainment system.

Jaguar XJ Saloon 3.0D V6 Luxury 4dr
The V6 diesel is the engine of choice if you’re in the market for an XJ. It’s powerful and refined, and its relatively light thirst gives the XJ an impressive cruising range.
