We haven’t seen many of the luxury cars transforming themselves as drastically as the Jaguar XJ did in the model year 2011. The preceding-generation Jaguar XJ had plenty of modern mechanical assets underneath the conventional design of the car known as the classic XJ6 of the model year 1960s, and although, it seems a rather fruitful idea at the beginning, the sales for the car started falling. So, for the new XJ, Jaguar decided to dump the convention, and decided to give their iconic sedan a fundamental design internally as well as externally. The luxury sedan, which once appealed only to the customers having warm memories of string-back leather gloves, now is a completely spirited flagship.

The 2012 Jaguar XJ sees an all-embracing use of aluminum for its body panels and the basic chassis, which delivers comparatively light curb weight – around 4000 lbs for its base model – and makes the 2012 XJ comparatively lively handling and utmost effect from the array of 5.0 ltr V8 engines. It’s not that they actually needed any sort of help. Even the base model of the XJ now generates maximum power of 385 bhp, while the same rating for its Supersport and Supercharged models goes up to 510 and 470 bhp, respectively and also generates spectacular acceleration.

One another highlight for the 2012 Jaguar XJ is its cabin. Despite the fact that all cars in its class are scrupulously constructed, a thespian design and discriminating details differentiates the XJ from its rivals. In simple terms we would like to tell that with the new XJ you will get a lot of value for your money. Even the base models of the XJ give you plenty of standard features, but as you move up the deal gets better. The Jaguar XJL Supersport has the capacity to meet or even surpass the performance of a Mercedes S63 AMG or BMW 760Li, but at the same time it costs around $20,000 less.

We admit the fact that choosing among the likes of Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series in addition to the Porsche Panamera and the Audi A8 is a tough nut to crack, because every model mentioned here comes with their own blend of style, value and dynamic substance. But, the 2012 Jaguar XJ has its own charisma and the customers understanding that will surely go for it.

What’s New for 2012 Jaguar XJ?

For the model year 2012, the Jaguar XJ sees some personalized feature sets, like the XJ Supersport models comes with back-seat entertainment system as standard equipments (but the adaptative cruise control becomes an option), and the extended-wheelbase XJL Supersport now comes with a rear seat, which not only reclines, but also incorporates a massaging feature.

Under The Hood:

The power for the 2012 Jaguar XJ and 2012 Jaguar XJL Portfolio comes from a 5.0 ltr V8 engine generating maximum power of 385 bhp and 380 lbs-ft of maximum torque. Just as we’ve seen on all the other models of the XJ, a 6-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive are standard here. In our performance testing a Jaguar XJL went from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds and considering the fact that the XJ is a tad lighter, we think that it will be even quicker. The estimated fuel economy for the model is of 16 mpg in city and 23 mpg on highways, which comes to a combined fuel economy of 19 mpg for their XJ, though the XJL delivers 1 mpg less over all.

The Supercharged models are also powered by the same 5.0 ltr V8 engines, but considering the fact that they are Supercharged, they generates maximum power of 470 bhp and 424 lbs-ft of maximum torque. In our performance testing the XJL Supercharged went from 0 to 60 mph in as fast as 4.5 seconds. The estimated fuel economy for this model is of 15mpg/17mpg/21mpg respectively for city, highways and combined.

The Supersport is powered by even more powerful V8 engine, which generates maximum power of 510 bhp and 461 lbs-ft of maximum torque. The estimated 0 to 60 mph sprint time for this model is of 4.7 seconds. The fuel economy for this model is expected to be around the fuel economy of the supercharged versions.

The optional adaptive cruise control could get you boosted emergency brake assist and a forward collision alert system.

Verdict:

The 2012 Jaguar XJ is a stunning blend of noticeable styling and driving dynamics. The car also is a bit bargain.

Speaking on the latest Jaguar XKR-S, the British automaker, which now is owned by Indian auto major Tata Motors, said that this latest edition of XKR-S not only will be the fastest Jaguar ever, but also will be the most nimble, driver-focused and most agile.”

Though, Jaguar has refused to give any details on Jaguar XKR-S before the car is unveiled publicly, but we’ve heard that the new Jaguar XKR-S will be powered by a supercharged 5.0 ltr V8 engine, which has been developed to generate maximum power of 550 hp and 502 lbs-ft of maximum torque. It’s also said that the latest XKR-S will accelerate from 0 to 60 in 4.2 secs, and will be having a top speed of 186 mph.

The US variant of the 2011 Jaguar XKR-S will get its power from a more sober variant of the same engine, and will be generating maximum power of 510 hp and 461 lb-ft.

The Jaguar C-X75 basically is an extended-range Electric Vehicle, which has the capability of running on pure electric power for around 68 miles. The complete charging time for the vehicle is around 6 hour in normal household outlet. The car is effectively 4WD and comes loaded with four electric motors. Each and every motor in the car generates maximum power of 195 hp and each of the vehicles driving an individual wheel. The maximum top speed for the car is of 205 mph. So unlike some of the other concepts in market, this car will deliver immense driving fun to you as well.

The Jaguar C-X75 concept’s theoretical range is around 560 miles, and it very well could be attributed to a set of gas turbines which are capable of recharging the li-ion batteries.

The 2010 Jaguar XF is the second generation of the XF, and even in the second year of production the Jaguar XF still remains a game-changer for the struggling British luxury brand. The current generation Jaguar’s were apparently designed to gratify what the people think a Jaguar should look like, specifically, an old-fashioned car which looked like the old-fashioned motorcars that entered the market before it. These cars were developed for the people who thought England as a country flooding with yarn-twiddling grannies taking sips of Earl Grey and narrating stories about the war.

The Jaguar XF proves them all wrong and carves a whole new stylistic niche for Jaguar. But the good thing here is that while doing all this, the car retains all its traditional intrinsic worth such as powerful engines and luxurious cabins, but the modern-day shape of the Jaguar XF differentiates the car from the Jaguar of 21st century.

What’s New for 2010 Audi S4?

The shining of the metal is unmatchable.
