2011 Jaguar XJ Sedan
Take a look at the 4-door 2011 Jaguar XJ Sedan, a new direction from the luxury car maker. Jaguar’s famous X-Type and E-Type coupes have been known for years as high performance vehicles only the rich and famous could afford. Nowadays, Jag is heading in a new direction, under the leadership of Tata Motors. Jag’s XJ has been stretched into a 4-door menace of the roads. Sleek and stylish, with plenty of power under its hood.
Much like competitor Porsche, Jaguar has taken on a sedan design to combat Panamera. The XJ keeps a traditional Jaguar front end with larger grill and that famous angry cat logo. The rear end slips down like a giant crashing wave, breaking only for the slanted back window and allowing ample trunk space to fit golf clubs, priceless works of art, and whatever else people with money put in their trunks.
Two wheelbases (XJ and XJL) and three engines (5.0-liter V-8s or supercharged, 385/470/510 hp respectively) are available from your local Jaguar Dealer. Base price ranges from $72,500 to $115,000, so get out that AMEX Black card. The XJ’s drivetrains are shared with Jaguar’s XF. Because aluminum is aluminum the XJ is relatively light. The naturally aspirated short-wheelbase model checks in at 4045 pounds.
Inside, 2011′s XJ looks more like a shuttle from Star Trek The Next Generation – a huge touchscreen navigational and entertainment system is available at your fingertips. Secondary controls as well as instrument panel buttons are thumb-ready on your steering wheel. All-leather interior reminds you exactly why paying over $100,000 for an automobile isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
