2011 Jaguar XJ Blends Eye-Catching Style with Dynamic Poise

The 2011 Jaguar XJ beautifully blends eye-catching style with dynamic poise. With the 2011 Jaguar XJ, something radical is exactly what the world gets. Gone is ye olde world styling, and in its place comes a new Jaguar 2011 XJ images with strikingly unique blend of cues from the midsize Jaguar XF as well as all-new ones. The rear looks like no other rump on the road.

Meanwhile, the interior ditches the stuffy fascia of wood, the ugly green lighting and crotchety old J gate shifter in favor of a cabin so exquisitely detailed and so dramatically designed that it may make a potential Rolls-Royce Ghost buyer think twice. However, while the XJ Concept look is a stunning 180, the mechanical bits and pieces in the Jaguar XJ 2011 are quite familiar.

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. The specifications is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 that produces 385 hp and 380 pound-feet of torque. As with all models, a six-speed automatic with manual shift control is standard.

Jaguar estimates a 0-60-mph sprint of 5.4 seconds and combined fuel economy of 19 mpg. The 2011 Jaguar XJ Supercharged features a 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. The 2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport gets a more powerful version of the supercharged V8 good for 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque.

Jaguar estimates a 0-60 time of 4.7 seconds and combined fuel economy of 18 mpg for the 2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport. Most of the items in the XJL are optional on the 2011 Jaguar XJ with its Luxury package, while all L models furthermore feature rear vanity mirrors, manual rear side sunshades and fold-down trays in the front seatbacks.

The 2011 Jaguar XJ interior is exquisite; there’s really no other way to describe the Jaguar 2011 new cars. Not only is the design unique and appealing from an aesthetic standpoint, but its craftsmanship and materials quality are a step beyond this already impressive league.

Supple leather covers not only the seats, but most of the dash and doors in the Jaguar XJ 2011. Rich wood trim wraps around the interior as if it were a structural element. Tastefully applied chrome, piano-black trim and ice-blue lighting further decorate this cabin fit for royalty. Plus, with myriad color choices, it’s easy to equip the 2011 Jaguar XJ in whatever way you desire.

Driving Impression

Like the Jaguar XK, the 2011 Jaguar XJ has gotten a lot of attention for its looks: the elegant, curvaceous lines that Ian Callum brought to the car in this much-needed, wholesale redesign of the future Jaguar XJ. That’s for good reason: The Jaguar 2011 XJ is gorgeous, with an elegant exterior and showy interior that give the XJ an appropriately foppish swagger.

At 201.6 inches long, the 2011 Jaguar XJ is a big car. Get a big car going fast and you might worry about your ability to stop quickly. Yet here the Jaguar 2011 XJ proved a merciful champ. As soon as you steer onto the turnpike on-ramp and step on the gas, you’ll forget about the car’s looks; you’ll only be able to think about how monstrously powerful and ridiculously fast it is.

With the 2011 Jaguar XJ dynamic poise and improved specifications, it makes a great competitor to the Mercedes-Benz S-class, the BMW 7-series, and the Audi A8—and the more driver-oriented oddballs, including the Maserati Quattroporte and Porsche Panamera.
