Jaguar XKR-S 2012

Making its debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2011, the Jaguar XKR-S is the most extreme expression of the passion of Jaguar cars in building beautiful, fast. For the first time with a series production car, Jaguar gains entry through the '300kph exclusive club "of effortless performance of the supercharged 5.0-liter AJ-V8. A revised map half feeds the engine with direct injection and now 550P produces 680 Nm of torque. Recalibration extensive that have ensured the delivery of power and performance are transparent, which contributes to the hour 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The active performance exhaust encourages and rewards the enthusiastic driver with The drama, inspired by the auditory feedback of motor sports.

Jaguar XKR-S is not only faster Jaguar ever, but also. More agile, responsive and driver-focused The highlight of the XK range based on feedback from the compressor and XKR has been developed to expand the parameters of performance of the car. This new character net allows the driver to explore the passion of the dynamic outer limits of the car without losing the sophistication and ease of use, which is famous Jaguar. The structural integrity of the platform lightweight aluminum suspension has been reworked with custom components for increased rigidity without corresponding loss is the sophistication and comfort of Jaguar racing legend. A rocket machined aluminum front and rear suspension, revised geometry is combined with stiffer springs and dampers, forged alloy wheels and a recalibrated steering effort to minimize any delay in response and produce a driving experience more connected and more agile.

Performance Jaguar XKR-S is specified as its interior and exterior design, which features a new paint colors that reflect the unique sporting heritage of Jaguar. As the Jaguars of the past competition, the outer surface of the XKR-S is consistent with the principle of function following form. In addition to design changes, and carry up to 300 km, the XKR-S has been extensively developed Computational Fluid Dynamics. Changes arising from the front and rear lift more than one quarter reduced, and optimized for lateral aerodynamic stability.

Ian Callum, Design Director of Jaguar Cars, "The style of this car is not a question of image, it's true performance, like other iconic Jaguars before it's style was driven by geometry and aerodynamics of the purity of true conception of physics necessary to achieve 300kph .. led to the aesthetic, and if you do not like how it looks, you probably will not how it works either. "The first Jaguar fully designed under the auspices of the design director Ian Callum the XK won awards worldwide for its elegant appearance. Now, more style changes to keep XKR-S at the forefront of modern sports car design. Sleeker, LED headlights, more compact air intakes vertical primary and secondary evacuation of power all contribute to a more targeted approach frontal appearance. At the rear of the car's famous "Leaper" Jaguar is now taking pride of place in the middle of the bootlid.

Jaguar XKR 2012

Jaguar XK was the first car made entirely led by Ian Callum, Design Director. Dramatic and decisive, but so sensuous as the only one Jaguar, the XK is now a series of changes that will strengthen its modern, self-confident nature. The latest lighting technology has enabled the front of the headlights and made thinner at the same time to include the LED signal and functions as a lighthouse. Along with bigger front grille and new bumper design, this gives recognition 'mirror' XK a while. Jaguar of course, every model in the profits and the unique characteristics that differentiate it from its brethren. Chrome mesh grille is replaced by the XK detail matte black that, while the flagship XKR XKR-S is a front bumper emphasize its only goal.

The power vent along the front wing has been changed from portrait to landscape design of a sieve. With the Jaguar name, which serves to highlight the potential inherent in the design of the XK. At the rear, the tailgate has been revised with a best finish of chrome that allows the car to be honored by the famous "bridge" Jaguar, put it in line with the rest of the company's products.

To complement the design changes from 17 paint colors, of which five are new and a wide range of alloy wheels, currently a total of 11 different models ranging from 18 to 20 inches. A further opportunity for owners to express their individuality is available through the "Black Pack" is now available as an option on cars with naturally aspirated and the Jaguar XKR This replaces chrome exterior with matte black finish, complemented by 20-inch wheels alloy polished black. In the Jaguar XKR, the package also includes side aerodynamic body color and graphics options.

Jaguar sports cars have a reputation for a mix of high performance sport with a comfortable cruising effortlessly. Nothing exemplifies this dual nature more clearly than the XK 5.0-liter AJ-V8. Now in its third generation, it not only gives enormous power, but also highly effective in integrating the latest technologies, including a jet-guided direct injection (EDRMS) and dual independent variable valve timing (DIVCT). As the car itself, the engine is built for quality, high-light aluminum, the cylinder heads are recycled to reduce the environmental impacts of manufacturing.

Available in two forms and the supercharged air from the start, the engine is available in a third variant of the XKR-S. On the basis of the unity of the supercharged XKR Jaguar, the allocation of fuel and a revised exhaust system force increased power and torque of 680 nm and 550P, respectively, to create the most powerful road car Jaguar ever. This allows the car to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds and join the exclusive club '300km / h "with a limited top speed 186 mph. Not only effective but also extremely powerful, the XKR- S emits only 292g/km of CO2.

2012 jaguar xf Overview

The exterior of the 2012 Jaguar XF features a revised grille, hood, and front fenders, which incorporates new triangular side vents. The supercharged version gets louvers featuring the supercharged script, while the headlamps now incorporate bi-function HID xenon technology. For 2012, Jaguar will offer the XF in three new exterior colors with a new set of alloy wheels size 18" to 20

The Jaguar XF has rightly been recognized as a quintessential Jaguar sedan. - Ian Callum, Design Director, Jaguar Cars.
The "Jaguar XF" is powered by a 5.0 liter V8 engine offered in both natural and supercharged versions. In the natural version, the engine delivers a total of 385 HP, while the supercharged version gets either 470 or 510 HP (for the XF-R version).
The Jaguar XF can easily do battle with models like the BMW 5-Series and the Audi A6.
The 2012 Jaguar XF is a thrilling luxury saloon if class, sophistication, elegance and uniqueness is what you’re after.

The entry price into the "Jaguar XF" range has now dropped to just $78,990 for the new 2.2-litre diesel, which means it can effectively compete with (and beat) the Germans on price.

Easily ahead of its German riavls. Despite being owned by India’s Tata Motors, Jaguar still designs, engineers and builds its cars in the UK. To begin the drive, I jumped behind the wheel of an entry-model Jaguar XF 2.2-litre diesel. Apart from the gorgeous exterior, the XF’s interior is also where it outdoes its rivals.

Answering that question, Jaguar’s chief program engineer, Andy Whyman, said the car is inherently designed to have the drivability, performance and agility of Jaguar, which is at its heart, a sportscar company.

The 2.2-litre "Jaguar XF" is the most fuel efficient model in the company’s history. The 2.2-litre variants are equipped with intelligent start-stop technology that shuts down the engine when the vehicle is stationary. The system works by quickly turning the engine off when the Jaguar XF has stopped. To restart the engine, you simply release the brake pedal or move the steering wheel. There is never a wait for the engine to restart.

In Jaguar’s case, its start-stop technology takes the idea further. One of the unique features of the Jaguar XF is the ‘easy-off’ system. Dynamically, the 2.2-litre diesel XF is a well-balanced and engineered vehicle.

Driven hard around the German countryside, the 2.2-litre engine provides more than enough power to keep the vehicle moving at speed. If you’re an audiophile, you can option your Jaguar XF with a 17-speaker Bowers & Wilkins 1200W audio system, which is simply insane. The entry model XF comes with Alcantara / Bond Grain Leather facings, electric driver’s/passenger’s adjustment, dual zone climate control, 17″ alloy wheels, cruise control with speed limiter, bi-xenon headlamps, LED DRLs, bluetooth connectivity, 7″ full colour touch screen, 10 speaker 400wW Jaguar sound system, 3-spoke leather steering wheel with paddles, keyless start, TFT display in the instrument cluster and rear parking sensors standard.

Depending on how good of a job Jaguar Australia does in getting the pricing message out, not many will think of the base model XF as a sub-$100,000 car. In summary, the new 2012 Jaguar XF has been blessed with a significant range of updates to the exterior, interior and under the bonnet. There is no doubt the 2012 Jaguar XF is going to keep the Germans awake at night.

2011 Jaguar XFR Review

By contributing editor David Colman
LIKES:

• Prodigious acceleration
• Effectiveness of Dynamic Mode system

DISLIKES:

• Low 57.5 inch roof height
• Non-adjustable rear seats

The Jaguar XF series marks an epochal advance in appearance, performance and engineering over the fusty sedans formerly produced by this legacy British car maker. Now in its third year of production, the XF is available in 4 distinctive models: 385 hp Base and Premium versions, 470 hp Supercharged offering, and line-topping XFR, with 510 hp. If you’re in the market for a Mercedes AMG 6.3, BMW M5 or Porsche Panamera, you’ll definitely want to cross-shop the XFR because this sports sedan is better looking than the Porsche, more nimble than the BMW and much cheaper than the Benz.


The XFR is the antidote to a line of Jaguar XJ6 and 12 sedans that were designed in the Sixties, vibrant in the Seventies, and calcified by the Eighties. If you’re looking for veddy British chops and ale appeal, you’ll have to look elsewhere, to Bentley or Rolls Royce, for rainforest decimation interior paneling. This R type Jag is all business inside, aluminum-trimmed, driver grade business that is, with nothing woodsy to distract the operator from the art of driving rapidly. After all, when you’re trying to concentrate on harnessing 510 horsepower to do your bidding, you need to make instant decisions about steering wheel position, throttle angle, and gear choice. This 6-speed, paddle-shifted Jaguar will ably assist you in that pursuit. You can select “S” on the shift knob to make upshifts at redline and rev-match downshifts.
If you depress the handily accessible checkered flag button on the center console, you’ll trigger “Dynamic Mode” for your driving experience. This simple step optimizes steering acumen, throttle response and traction control to meld harmoniously into a state of red alert that maximizes driver involvement. Specifically, the Dynamic Mode automatically selects a special traction setting called TracDSC for optimum traction in difficult conditions. When you’re spinning the big cat’s 9.5 x 20 inch Nevis alloys, and igniting its beefy Dunlop 285/30ZR20 SP Sport Maxx tires, you’ll definitely need as much TracDSC assist as you can get.


The beauty of this R package lies in its subtlety. Inside, all 4 seating positions bear headrest “R” logos, but they’re so discrete as to be barely noticeable, thanks to tone on tone graphics. There’s a small “supercharged” moniker on the face of the 180mph speedometer, and a couple of supercharged embossments in the hood mounted air vents. Even the wheels testify inconspicuously to this machine’s special status, with “Supercharged Jaguar” lettering sunken into the circumference of the Nevis alloy hubs. But the “R” pageantry is so muted and skillfully incorporated into the XF’s overall design that no one will shy away from ownership due to brazen braggadocio.
In keeping with its stealth appearance, the XFR is perfectly capable of passing itself off as just another luxury sedan when bidden to do so. You don’t have to drive at full tilt to derive pleasure and benefit from this vehicle. There’s 17 cubic feet of space available in the trunk, so a long trip for 4 is definitely on. It can even be a ski trip, because the rear, foldable center arm rest converts into a ski sack if needed.

On the open highway, the XFR returns over 20 MPG, so a full run on the 18.4 gallon tank will net you close to 350 miles before refill time. The Jag’s low fuel warning light illuminates when you’ve still got 1.5 gallons left to burn. Bowers & Wilkins, the company which sponsored the pole sitting car at Indy this year, makes the XFR’s 14 crystalline speakers. The entertainment system puts out 440 watts, provides Sirius and HD radio, and reads through a 7 inch dash screen that also controls the DVD-based, voice-activated, navigation system. One of the niftiest features of the cross-hatched aluminum dash console is its set of 4 AC/heat vent covers which slide open whenever you activate the HVAC system. After all, you can’t sell an $80,000 car without at least one good parlor trick.

2011 Jaguar XJL is one of the best luxury performance sedan

2011 Jaguar XJL Reviews
This huge puppy complex isn’t only exclusive to the animal kingdom as it makes the perfect metaphor for the 2011 Jaguar XJL.

Our time spent with the largest Jaguar was done so with the non-supercharged XJL. That is much lighter than its biggest competitor, the BMW 740Li which we test drove a few weeks prior to driving the Jaguar XJL. The 2011 XJL is built exclusively at the Castle Bromwich, United Kingdom plant. It came as a big surprise that this Jaguar is actually a Jaguar and not a heavily modified Ford. Matched to six speed automatic with manual shift mode, the XJL felt faster than the BMW in more ways than one. Where the BMW makes an engineered mechanical noise, the Jaguar emits nothing but pure, organic muscle that would make any NASCAR fan proud. For being built in-house by Jaguar themselves, this engine is absolutely fantastic.

At 206 inches, the Jaguar XJL is six inches longer than a Nissan Quest Minivan and nearly 30 inches longer than a Ford Focus. The touch screen control panel, which operates the navigation, stereo controls and auxiliary integration needs to be revamped if the Jaguar XJL ever plans to beat its competition.

At the end of the day, the 2011 Jaguar XJL isn’t as developed or refined as the BMW 740Li. It may lack the controls and long distance comfort of the BMW, but the Jaguar isn’t a bad car. The Jaguar also offers more standard features than the BMW and carries them in a much more elegant fashion.

.To find out, we took a long-wheelbase Jaguar XJL to Key Largo’s Ocean Reef Yacht Club for their 16th Annual Vintage Weekend. A four-door saloon, er, sedan long under development before Ford decided to bail on its Premier Automotive Group holdings that included Land Rover, Aston Martin, Volvo, and Jaguar, it is the latest from longtime auto designer Ian Callum.

As tested, ours was the Jaguar XJL, which is a long wheelbase take on an already smashing executive car. New materials head off the field of breakthroughs for the Jaguar XJL. The inside is part and parcel of the new Jaguar. With a sport-oriented front dashboard area that looks as though it belongs inside a sporty Jaguar XK rather than Jaguar XJ, it is clear that the intention is to present an interior of a sports/driver’s car rather than a family sedan. Now equipped with direct injection with a variable intake manifold, it is also available with Eaton twin vortex superchargers in XJ Supercharged and XJ Supersport models.

The Jaguar XJ engines have 15,000-mile service intervals with no-cost maintenance for five years or 50,000 miles, to boot.
This cat gets its power to the pavement through the Jaguar Sequential Shift six-speed electronic automatic transmission. A Sport Mode remaps the shift points and holds gears longer under heavy acceleration.

The crowd that this Jaguar XJL runs with, all possess lofty price tags that match their capabilities. 2011 Jaguar XJL base price, $78,650. Driver Assistance Pack, $1,000; Bowers and Wilkins audio, $2,200; Destination, $850.

The new XJ L offers a modern interpretation of a number of key XJ design cues while maintaining the highest standard of personal luxury. The all-new Jaguar XJ L’s beauty is much more than skin deep. In naturally aspirated form, the XJ L’s engine develops 380lb.ft. With the XJ L, Jaguar has built upon its leading quality performance using the latest virtual product technologies. These proven Jaguar dynamic technologies are taken to new higher levels in the all-new XJ L. The rear independent multi-link setup features self-leveling air springs, dynamic adaptive real-time shock absorbers and a stabilizer bar. Front and rear suspension isolated cradles increase handling performance and lessen noise, vibration and harshness. Up front are 14.2in. discs clamped with four-piston calipers, while the rear setup features 13.2in. Braking control and power are enhanced with standard ABS, EBD, BA, Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control.

The all-new 2011 Jaguar XJ L is one of the finest luxury performance long wheelbase sedans on the market today.

Jaguar XE Roadster Spy Photos - New small two-seater roadster of Jaguar.

This little roadster is a Jaguar
These are the first images of new small two-seater roadster of Jaguar.
The car was taken during a test near the company's management in Coventry, England. The new model is currently codenamed XE, it will be positioned in the model line of the company under the current XK.

The new roadster at the company is perceived as a spiritual successor to the legendary E-Type. Ambitions of the people of this model Jaguar are to compete with some of the smaller models of Porsche, so the price will be between that of the Boxster and 911. Roadster has a retractable fabric roof, it will be available in all global markets.

The car will be built a modernized aluminum platform and the HA will have rear-wheel drive. Its wheel base, however, will be much shorter than that of HA.

The engines are V6 versions of the new company and will be combined with an automatic transmission with 6 degrees. Is expected to premiere the new Jaguar XE to be in March 2012 in Geneva. Britain predict a possible price of the car between 40 and 50 thousand pounds (between 90 000 and 110 000).

2012 Jaguar XK

The new 2012 Jaguar XK features revised slimmer headlights with subtle LEDs. At the rear, "2012 XK" also features LED technology built in the taillights.
The interior boasts new trim finishes and leather sports seats. The sport version – XKR-S will be delivered in coupe form.

For the interior, Jaguar is offering new trim materials including ebony soft-feel paint for the switches, gloss black finish for the center console, phosphor blue halo illumination and ambient lighting.

For the Jaguar XK-R version, the chrome mesh grille has been replaced with black details.
The XK-R version has also received a "Black Pack" option that replaces the exterior chrome with a gloss black finish. This is then complemented by 20-inch gloss black alloy wheels and body colored aerodynamic enhancements.

Under the hood, the engine for the Jaguar XK remains unchanged: a 5.0 Liter V8 that delivers a total of 385 HP and 380 lb-ft of torque. Top speed is limited to 155 mph.
The new Jaguar XK will go on sale later this summer.

Customers interested in the new Jaguar XK should also check out the Aston Martin V8 Vantage or the Audi R8 sports coupe. The V8 Vantage is powered by a 4.7 Liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 420 HP. It can hit a top speed of 187 mph and sprint the Audi from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.

The "2012 Jaguar XK" Series receives freshened styling, and a new high-performance model joins the lineup. Base XKs have 385 horsepower, and the supercharged XKR has 510. The XKR and XKR-S have specific interior and exterior trim and brakes. A performance suspension is standard on the XKR-S and optional on the XKR. All models have a navigation system, wireless cell-phone link, and keyless entry/engine start.

2011 Jaguar XK coupe

2011 Jaguar XK coupe Review
Base Jaguar XK coupe and convertible models come loaded with standard features including a 7-inch touchscreen with navigation system, a 525-watt Bowers & Wilkins audio system, Jaguar Smart Key System and electronic stability control. Limited to just 175 Jaguar XK coupes, Ultimate Black exterior combines with a Warm Charcoal interior. New for 2011, the Jaguar XK a Technology Package features high-tech items like adaptive cruise control.
The XK coupe offers remarkable luxury in base trim and in top-of-the-line XKR trim, world-class power and performance.

Jaguar is confident that it got the XK right. The factory is 13 color choices away from churning out an endless parade of identical cars. Included on the cheapest Jaguar XK you can buy are navigation, satellite radio, 16-way power seats—heated and cooled—a heated steering wheel, keyless entry and go, and a 525-watt Bowers & Wilkins stereo with an in-dash six-disc changer and a USB input. We were positively floored when we looked at this car’s window sticker and saw not a single option listed. Entry-Level Excellence

This Jaguar’s standard excellence extends beneath that long, elegant hood, too. The engine’s tremendous flexibility is reflected in its passing-acceleration times: 30–50 mph in 2.5 seconds, 30–70 in 3.6. The base XK rides on the same suspension as the more sporting XKR, which helps explain the cars’ essentially identical skidpad figures: 0.92 for the XKR vs. 0.91 for the XK seen here. The one demerit that both cars share is the size of the interior. Even if the resultant space increase is minimal, it’s still an increase, and any bump in insurance rates from ditching two seats would be irrelevant to people shopping the XK.

The Jaguar XK is a stunning car to look at, to be inside, and to drive. The only way Jaguar saw fit to make the everyday XK better was to fortify it with this bigger engine. We agree.

There are few changes to the 2011 Jaguar XK coupe and convertible. Other additions for the line of 2011 XK models this year include a heated windshield, revised interior trim, adaptive cruise control and, for the XKR, the red brake calipers that come standard on the XKR175.

The current-generation Jaguar XK heads into its fifth year of production with little substantial change save for the introduction of the limited-edition XKR175 Coupe. It's a similar story for the supercharged Jaguar XKR, which boasts 510 hp, some 10 hp more than the mighty Porsche 911 Turbo. Certainly the XK isn't wanting for power, and Jaguar backs it up with exceptional road manners. The 2011 Jaguar XK is available in coupe and convertible body styles, with each offered in XK and XKR trim levels. The new XKR175 is available only as a coupe. Standard equipment on the base car includes 19-inch alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, keyless ignition/entry, leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, heated power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats and automatic dual-zone climate control. The convertible features a power-retractable soft top and power rear windows.

Options include interior piano black wood veneer, HD radio, a heated windshield, active headlights and adaptive cruise control (which is packaged with active headlights for XK models). Optional on the XKR are 20-inch wheels, red brake calipers (coupe only) and different interior veneers and body colors.

The XKR175, available only in black, adds unique 20-inch wheels, front and rear spoilers, side sills, a rear diffuser, red brake calipers, limited-edition door sill plates and special interior trim.
The 2011 Jaguar XK is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 that produces 385 hp and 380 pound-feet of torque. The XKR drops to 15/22/17 mpg.

Surprise: Jaguar will build the C-X75 - Production of the hybrid race will start in 2013

Thus, no one had expected: Jaguar wants to build the supercar C-X75, which sparkled in the autumn of 2010 at the Paris Motor Show, in series. The company was now known.

Jaguar boss Adrian Hallmark said the motives for the construction of the C-X75: The X75-C as a concept has already received extremely positive reviews. We have taken it as an opportunity to consider mass production and have come to the conclusion that it pays off. "Visually to the production vehicle as closely as possible to the Paris show to keep, but of course, the requirements are met for a street legal .

2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport Reviews

2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport .a wondrous luxury cruiser--with a serious sledgehammer under the hood. The extra power creates a positively lithe machine, able to tuck into bends without drama and flick back and forth through the lanes without effort. Steady, sporty and strong.

Secure the keys to an XJ Supersport, blindfold your passenger and seat him shotgun, then drive him (with a bit of urgency, mind you) down the nearest stretch of serpentine road. We guarantee you, he won't respond with "Jaguar XJ." In our defense, the XJ Supersport's supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 does churn out 510 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque, providing enough urge to propel the XJ from 0 to 60 mph in a claimed 4.7 seconds.

2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport The good: The Bowers and Wilkins stereo in the 2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport produces excellent sound quality, even with low-bit-rate MP3s. The bad: The LCD instrument cluster looks a little flat. The bottom line: The 2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport embodies a high degree of luxury, aided by a stellar audio system.

At the same time, the XJ Supersport is long, 16 feet, 10 inches, with a roomy cabin.
The various buttons feel solid, although Jaguar allowed more plastic pieces in this interior than in the Jaguar XF. Fully digital instruments

In a bold move by Jaguar, the XJ Supersport does away with analog gauges entirely, replacing them with an LCD showing representations of gauges. The left-side dial, which usually shows fuel level and engine temperature, switches to a full-color route guidance display when the car's navigation system is working. Likewise, this dial also shows the current audio source.
For the XJ, Jaguar fixed some of these problems. Also nice is that Jaguar keeps a row of onscreen buttons at the bottom of each screen for access to audio, climate, phone, and navigation.

For us, this Bowers & Wilkins audio system made all types of music extremely pleasurable to listen to in the XJ Supersport.
And the car does not lack for audio sources, bringing in practically every digital device available today. There is Bluetooth streaming audio and there is space on the car's hard drive for music storage.

2012 Jaguar XF : Facelift for the first time as a four-cylinder

The main change under the hood of the XF, the new four-cylinder turbo diesel with 2.2 liters of displacement is dar. The 190-horsepower engine comes from a partnership with PSA Peugeot Citroën and is including in the Land Rover Freelander used. Combined, the new engine in the XF accessible with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and - as a first for Jaguar - a start-stop system. Thus, the new entry-level diesel content with a consumption of 5.4 liters per 100 kilometers, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 149 grams per kilometer. The start-stop system works intelligently: Not only the living, but even before that - so to speak, in the final phase of sail - the motor is turned off automatically, so the manufacturer. As the engine for a restart must not be anticipated completely to rest, to enable the new boot helper over conventional systems, a more rapid acceleration by 40 percent and a five to seven percent lower consumption.

The interior of the XF is refreshed in the course of a little facelift. It is a new leather seats with improved lateral support, and other surface materials on the dashboard and center console. A new polarizing filter to improve the readability of the displays. Their prints were matched to those of the XJ. Added to this is one of three new audio systems, including a 1,200-watt premium system from Bowers & Wilkins with 17 speakers. The revamped Jaguar XF can be ordered now, with deliveries starting in September 2011. The XF 2.2 D starts at € 44 900. Thus does the new entry level model 5000 € less than the previously cheapest XF. The three-liter diesel remains available from € 49 900. For the XF 5.0 V8 Jaguar calls to at least € 64 900 for the top model will XFR 92 700 € and more mature.

2011 Jaguar XJ Reviews

2011 Jaguar XJ Reviews

The sportier, more contemporary design direction that revealed itself in the latest Jaguar XK Coupe and Convertible, then the XF Sedan, has now been applied to Jaguar's flagship sedan.
Jaguar is still nagged by historically sub-par resale values and spotty reliability records, so the 2011 Jaguar XJ isn't among the category's smartest buys.

The 2011 Jaguar XJ is available in standard and long-wheelbase versions, with XJL models offering an additional five inches of legroom (but less parking-lot maneuverability).

The old Jaguar XJ was a perfectly modern automobile under the skin, but that skin was nothing more than a rehash of Jaguar's previous 30 years. With the 2011 Jaguar XJ, something radical is exactly what the world gets.

The rear of the 2011 XJ looks like no other rump on the road. The "base" XJ produces 385 horsepower while the supercharged XJ cranks out up to 510 horses.

The 2011 Jaguar XJ is a large luxury sedan available in regular and long-wheelbase (L) four-door body styles. Both are available in three trim levels, which correspond with an engine: XJ, XJ Supercharged and XJ Supersport.

Standard equipment on the XJ includes 19-inch wheels, an adaptive suspension, a panoramic sunroof, automatic xenon headlamps, auto-dimming mirrors, a power-closing trunk lid, keyless ignition/entry, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, power front seats (16-way driver and 12-way passenger) with memory functions, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and leather upholstery. The XJL features different 19-inch wheels than the XJ, plus four-zone automatic climate control, a power rear sunshade, 20-way power front seats with massage function, heated and cooled rear seats, extended leather trim and faux-suede headliner. The XJ Supercharged and XJL Supercharged add to the XJL's equipment 20-inch wheels, adaptive headlights and a 20-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium surround-sound system. The XJ Supersport and XJL Supersport add different 20-inch wheels and upgraded leather upholstery. Its standard adaptive cruise control, wood-trim wheel and rear seat entertainment system are optional on the other trims.

The 2010 Jaguar XJ is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 that produces 385 hp and 380 pound-feet of torque. As with all XJ models, a six-speed automatic with manual shift control is standard. The 2010 Jaguar XJ Supercharged features a (surprise!) supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 470 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque. Jaguar estimates a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds and combined fuel economy of 18 mpg.

Every 2011 Jaguar XJ comes standard with antilock brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags, side curtain airbags, active head restraints and a blind spot warning system. Front seat active seatbelts are optional on the XJ and XJL, and standard on the others.

The Jaguar XJ's interior is exquisite; there's really no other way to describe it. As before, the regular-length XJ's backseat is on the small side. Few cars strike such an excellent balance between ride comfort and sporty handling as the 2011 Jaguar XJ.

Poised to pounce and newly transformed, the Jaguar XJ four-door sport sedan screamed out some power chords as we throttled it around Rock and Roll-ish West Hollywood, California.
Penned by Jaguar Director of Design, Ian Callum and his team of designers in Coventry, England, the new XJ draws visual cues from a wide variety of sources. Jaguar Cars managing director Mike O’Driscoll, explained the company’s recent return to the sporting style and culture: “We lost touch with our soul. For forty years, the XJ has served as the quintessential Jaguar. If the outgoing XJ had a North American counterpart, perhaps it would be the Lincoln Town Car. That’s hardly what we call sporty, but neither was the outgoing XJ.

Jaguar’s base offering is a naturally-aspirated engine producing 385 horsepower and 380 lb-ft. of torque. That’s a 28 percent increase over the outgoing 4.2-liter engine from the previous XJ. Finally is the special-order Supersport XJ Supercharged model, making 510 horsepower, and 461 lb-ft. of torque for pure kitty-scaring grunt.

Both supercharged models are on 20-inch tires and governed to 155 mph top speed. Curb weight of the short wheelbase naturally aspirated XJ is 4,045 lbs., while the supercharged models tip in at 4,281 lbs. Add 42 lbs. additional for a long wheelbase model. The base V8 is rated at 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, while the huffed versions are all rated at 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. Although the new XJ appears long and lanky like a Rock Star’s girlfriend, its wheelbase is only an inch longer than the model it replaces. Able to constantly change for the different road conditions we encountered, the XJ lived up to Jaguar’s traditional mantra of providing a cossetting ride with a performance touch.

The variable ratio power-assisted steering did a remarkable job of keeping the XJ pointed true especially with the changing road conditions and imperfections.

Jaguar director O’Driscoll smilingly told us that at Jaguar, there is a feeling that “we are that small specialist company who will be known for their sporting cars once again.”
Smooth and capable, this isn’t the Jaguar of yore.
