Jaguar officially unveiled the new XJ luxury sedan at an exclusive event in London, which included guests such as Jaguar Cars Managing Director Mike O'Driscoll and television host Jay Leno.
Jaguar says that the new car will infuse a daring new spirit in its segment, thanks to a bold new design direction, good performance and a high standard of engineering excellence.
"The new XJ is a thoroughly modern interpretation of the quintessential Jaguar," said Ian Callum, Design Director, who also penned the XF. "Its visual impact stems from the elongated teardrop shape of the car's side windows, that powerful stance and its wide track. It is the most emphatic statement yet of Jaguar's new design direction."
The most immediate standout design feature is the panoramic glass roof which will allow for extra light into the interior and also lower the roofline. The car will also be built using aluminium, making it lighter and therefore improving performance and fuel consumption.
Among the driving technologies used by the XJ include Adaptive Dynamics, which is Jaguar's continuously variable damping system, an air suspension system, and active differential control.
The interior is a good mix of traditional British class and new age technology, with chrome and piano black detailing, leather and veneer surfaces, and other features depending on the trim level selected; Luxury, Premium Luxury, Portfolio, Supercharged or the range-topping Supersport. Technological gadgets include an 8-inch touch screen for playing DVD movies, a 1200W Bowers & Wilkins sound system and the Media Hub.
Four engines have been earmarked for the new XJ, starting with the base 3.0 litre V6 diesel. This is followed by the 5.0 litre naturally-aspirated V8 which produces 385bhp. up would be a supercharged version of the 5.0 V8 producing 470bhp, with the range-topping XJR receiving a supercharged V8 with 510bhp. Both normal and long wheel base versions will be offered at the launch.
Jaguar has started taking orders for the new XJ, with the first cars set to be delivered in early 2010.
