2010 All New Jaguar XJ

“The all-new XJ re-imagines the ultimate sporting luxury car. It’s
beautiful, exhilarating to drive and with a bold, enlightened approach to
design meets the challenges of our fast-changing world.”

MIKE O’DRISCOLL, MANAGING DIRECTOR, JAGUAR CARS

Sleek, sporting and sophisticated, the all-new Jaguar XJ brings a daring new
spirit to automotive luxury. It offers a seductive mix of striking design,
breathtaking performance and engineering without compromise.

The new XJ is the epitome of fluid, contemporary automotive style. The
elongated teardrop shape of the side windows establishes the car’s silhouette
and lies at the heart of its flowing design. And the new XJ doesn’t just look
streamlined: it shares a drag coefficient of 0.29 with the XF saloon, making
them the most aerodynamic Jaguars ever.

A coupé profile cloaks a cabin that offers comparable levels of space to
saloons with a more conventional style. There is generous accommodation for
five occupants, while long-wheelbase models provide rear-seat passengers
with even greater levels of comfort thanks to an additional 125mm of rear
legroom.

The exquisitely designed interior has a strong sporting character throughout.
A panoramic glass roof, standard on all models, dramatically enhances the
sense of light and space inside the new XJ. And in keeping with its status as
the ultimate four-door Jaguar, the XJ introduces a new generation of interior
technologies, pioneering the use of display and infotainment systems such as
the innovative Virtual Instrument dials and optional 1200W Bowers & Wilkins
premium surround sound system.

At the heart of the all-new XJ’s construction is a next-generation application of
Jaguar’s unique lightweight vehicle architecture. Primarily aluminium – but
also utilizing magnesium and composite alloys – it allows Jaguar to produce a
significantly lighter and stiffer body – the lightest in its class. The new
structure – which retains the same aerospace-based riveting and bonding
processes – has been refined using these advanced new materials to deliver
improved strength, enhanced refinement and superior safety performance.
The new XJ offers the choice of four powerful and refined engines, which use
the latest powertrain technology to deliver an outstanding combination of
performance and class-leading efficiency. The supremely powerful
supercharged 375kW 5.0-litre AJ-V8 Gen III will head the line-up, with a
0-100kph in 4.9 secs; 346kW supercharged and 283kW naturally aspirated
petrol V8s are also available.

A no-compromise diesel alternative is provided by the formidable 202kW 3.0-
litre AJ-V6D Gen III. With twin sequential turbochargers, this is an engine that
delivers on every aspect of the Jaguar driving experience, marrying
tremendous drive 0-100kph in 6.4 secs with the best fuel economy and CO2
emissions in the diesel segment.

The all-new XJ delivers a driving experience that is just as memorable as the
car’s appearance. Benefitting from technologies pioneered on the exciting
new XFR and XKR models, including continuously variable damping
(Adaptive Dynamics), electronically controlled rear differential (Active
Differential Control) and a quick ratio power-steering system, the new XJ
combines responsive, sporting dynamics with the refined, supple ride
expected from a luxury Jaguar.

With its unique lightweight aluminium body structure and advanced new
powertrains, the all-new XJ already has a head start when it comes to
sustainable performance. The aluminium body uses more than 50 percent
recycled material, with a plan to increase this to 75 percent. Body panels
made from recycled material use only 5 percent of the energy required for
new aluminium, equating to a potential saving of three tonnes of CO2 per
vehicle.
