2010 Jaguar XJ

The new Jaguar 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 Jaguar XJ doesn't just look streamlined: it shares a drag coefficient of 0.29 with the Jaguar XF saloon, making them the most aerodynamic Jaguars ever.

The new Jaguar 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 510PS 5.0-litre AJ-V8 Gen III will head the line-up, with a 0-60mph time of 4.7 secs (0-100kph in 4.9 secs).

With a stiff, lightweight body structure, a new generation of ultra-efficient, high-performance powertrains and the latest chassis technologies, the all-new Jaguar XJ is an outstanding premium sports saloon that delivers an exhilarating driving experience.

The primary objective while developing the new Jaguar XJ was to provide a combination of focused and responsive sporting dynamics, allied to the suppleness and refinement of a luxury vehicle. The all-new Jaguar XJ is very much a driver's car and surprisingly agile for its size, but without any compromise to comfort.

At more relaxed cruising speeds the new Jaguar XJ is blissfully silent. A full secondary bulkhead, laminated glass in all the main windows, streamlined aerodynamics and an optimised body structure help to reduce noise levels to an absolute minimum. When driven in a more spirited fashion, however, carefully tuned air intake systems deliver an inspiring engine soundtrack.

Giving even greater level of personal control, the Jaguar XJ driver can tailor the driving experience to suit their mood or conditions. JaguarDrive ControlTM offers two different modes: Dynamic mode, for a more sporting and responsive character, and Winter mode, for greater confidence in low-grip conditions. Each mode changes the characteristics of engine mapping, transmission shifts, Adaptive Dynamics and Active Differential Control systems and DSC interventions.

Jaguar.. Who doesn't know that car make? I remember when I was young, how this was my favorite make, mainly because it was Jaguar! Now, after 10 years is still one car which I dearly want, but not as before. Now I know more makes, more cars, more information about them.

For me it seems that Jaguar is really expensive for what it offers. I will leave it to you to decide! I still really like it and it has special place in my heart, but that car is not exactly for me. What do you think guys? Who wants a Jaguar?
