There is justice in the world. This point is emphasized by the Jaguar XJ but not in the way that you might first imagine.
Consider that
drivers of this luxury sedan are more often than not going to be
chauffeurs, and that passengers will typically be businessmen
and politicians. The fact that the electrically adjustable
and heated front seats are equipped with a 10-minute massage
function, which really does get to all the necessary areas, makes
the driver and front passenger's journey a thoroughly
pleasurable experience. This luxury is reserved just for the front
passengers, not those in the back, regardless of how rich and powerful
they might be.

It's not all
bad in the rear though, because these seats are heated
and electrically adjustable. It's even possible for the rear
occupants to move the front seats forward, if legroom proves too
tight. There are air conditioning controls, too. Television screens fitted in the
back of the front headrests help passengers forget about their woes or
even keep up to date with the latest news.
This is reliant
on there being reception, and sadly in the depths of the
British countryside, where the bulk of the test takes place, there is
none. Nevertheless, it is an ideal vehicle to crawl around Moscow,
the most congested city in the world, according to news reports.
There is no better car for traveling four miles in 40 minutes —
the time it took a BBC reporter to travel from his office
for a meeting. Even in the blistering heat of a warm spring or
summer's day, the environment inside the Jaguar remains cool, thanks
to its superior air conditioning system.
Occupants sit
back inside and relax, no matter how arduous the jams are outside.
The aristocratic cat never complains and gets on with
the job in hand regardless of whether the commute is
incredibly slow or urgently quick.
Back
in the front, by far the best part of the XJ, there are
controls to satisfy every whim. Push a button, and the steering
wheel warms up. The dial for the automatic six speed transmission
rises when the engine start button is pushed.
If fast driving
is required, then using dynamic mode and sports control
in conjunction ensure swift progress, on occasions jolting occupants
back in their seats; useful if they become irritating … It's hard
to believe that under the hood resides a three-liter diesel
engine, although there is an audible rattle on start-up, quickly
forgotten when on the move. Engine stop/start, which cuts in and out
with great reliability, is one of the smoothest and quickest
on the market. This helps the largest Jaguar in the range
to travel around 800 km on its 82 liter tank. The sophisticated
cruise control, ideal for motorway cruising, automatically keeps this
short wheel base Jag a safe distance from the car in front, braking
and accelerating when necessary. The ride is as you would expect,
exceptionally comfortable. The trouble-free all-aluminium body ensures
good handling.
For reversing,
there's a helpful camera that appears in the center console, which is
just as well because you won't see too much out of the rear window.
The media center in the middle of the dash is home to a
navigation system, radio, controls for the heat and massage functions
of the front seats and a television.
There's
a massive glass roof stretching the length of the vehicle
and its covers retract electrically. These covers match the rest
of the roof, which is lined in a dark cosy and welcoming suede,
which compliments the black leather and dark wood interior. There's
a fair bit of chrome, too and a feeling that a great deal
of thought has gone into producing a very welcoming environment.
There are even footrests for the rear passengers. It is, however,
disappointing that a rattle springs to attention from the
driver's door as I proceed down a country lane.
Bearing
in mind the size of the XJ, it is perhaps a little
disappointing that there is only a reasonably sized trunk, but
the trunk automatically opens and closes, ensuring there are no dirty
fingers. "It's a bit like Marmite, too," says a colleague.
"You either love it or loath it."
Externally,
the Jaguar has a striking design, but for me, it looks too
similar to the smaller XF, though nevertheless imposing
and sophisticated. Since Tata took over, a Jaguar's head has been
introduced, placed on the bulky key fob. This looks out of place
to me, and the traditional leaping Jaguar, which is used liberally
throughout, should be the only emblem used. The original XJ was
a tough act to follow in terms of style and quality,
but its replacement is far more reliable with superior build.
Overall, though,
this is without doubt a remarkably distinctive luxury vehicle and one
for which Great Britain should be proud. This statement of class
represents huge value for money, especially when the next best car is
arguably the more expensive Rolls Royce, which shares many of the
same features.
The Jaguar XJ is the best luxury vehicle launched by Jaguar. This car has good looks and strong appeal. This car has three powerful engines to choose according to your need. This car has awesome interior and exterior features.
