4 out of 5 stars

The XJ’s somewhat controversial styling may divide opinion, but there’s no arguing with its great refinement, lavish comfort and engaging driving manners.

XJ Our pick

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.

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 rival will reward you like an XJ.

Money no object? Try a 5.0-litre petrol car, with performance and handling to rival the quickest supercars. Yet, back off the gas, and it's as whisper-quiet as a toddler’s bedtime story.

Mind you, its thirst is as savage as its performance, so the diesel is the XJ of choice. It’s an effortless performer, with 40mpg economy and refinement to rival the petrol models.

The car comes in long- and short wheelbase forms, but neither is cramped, while dual-zone climate control, twin panoramic sunroofs, keyless entry and start up, a central touchscreen with navigation and interactive voice control are all included on entry cars.

If you’re feeling flush, Portfolio trim gives you a superb Bowers and Wilkins stereo, a rear parking camera, headlights that respond to your steering inputs and a suede headlining.
