Jaguar XJ

Compared to most flagship luxury sedans, Jaguar’s XJ is brazenly unconventional, with low-slung styling and glitzy, artfully designed cabins. Its lightweight aluminum structure enables both standard and long-wheelbase XJ models to feel swift and nimble, whether they’re powered by the standard supercharged 340-hp V-6 or the optional supercharged 470-hp V-8, and whether you’ve chosen rear- or all-wheel drive. Speed demons may be interested in the 550-hp XJR, which is covered separately.
