3. Jaguar XJ 3.0L (221 kW) Diesel Portfolio : INR 105.42 Lacs

Note: All prices are ex-showroom, pre-octroi in Mumbai

Performance Engines:

The New Jaguar XJ offers a choice of 177 kW turbocharged petrol engine and 221 kW

turbocharged diesel engine. The new uprated Jaguar 3.0L, 221 kW turbocharged diesel engine

offers improved performance, capable of 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds with 700 Nm of torque, while

the 2.0L, 177 kW turbocharged petrol engine achieves 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds due to its 340 Nm

of torque.

Exteriors:

The New Jaguar XJ's teardrop shape is formed for

optimum aerodynamic efficiency, reducing air resistance to

a minimum, thus improving acceleration. The chrome

outlined side windows emphasize XJ's pure, elongated

form. Its low, wide stance and long taut waistline create a

commanding presence, while inside the cabin still feels

airy and spacious due to its panoramic roof and smart

design.

The XJ's newly remodeled front includes a more upright

front grille design with mesh detail. The grille is framed by

new energy efficient full-LED headlights, sporting Jaguar's

unique 'Double J' Daytime Running Light design.

Producing a light with colour temperature closer to natural daylight, in which objects can be better

recognized, helping increase comfort and safety during night driving.

At the rear, updates continue with elliptical tailpipes, a revised bumper design and new tail lights

incorporating LED technology. The LED light pipes are brighter and more efficient and use less

energy. They also provide a striking, smooth uninterrupted ‘ribbon of light’, pinstripe graphic and

combine with LED light chips to make the New XJ even more distinctive.


The New Jaguar XJ's high-definition Instrument Panel Display:

It puts everything one needs to know about their driving right in front of them. The 31.24 cm TFT

screen displays the speed, fuel and temperature gauges and it can be set to display the most

relevant information, depending on the situation and set up. This multi-layered virtual display has

been remodeled and combines a new design and graphical interface, adding advanced functionality

to ensure that the right settings are selected. The Instrument Panel Display is fully integrated with

the 20.32 cm Touch-screen to put all information behind the wheel or on the centre console.

Interior Comfort:

The New Jaguar XJ's multi-functional seating gives one

complete control of their comfort. Both front seats feature

fine-tuned electric adjustment and 5 different massage

programmes. The rear features airline-style reclining seats

complete with 3 massage programmes and memory. They

can be programmed to return to an upright position when

the door is opened and a 'front passenger seat away'

function allows rear occupants to move the empty front

passenger seat forward to increase legroom and aid access.

The Long Wheel Base (LWB) derivatives feature over a metre of legroom for rear seat passengers

and provide the perfect environment to work, enjoy a host of entertainment options, or simply stretch

out and relax. They also feature a unique 'limousine' ride with revised air suspension settings for

even more refined comfort.

The rear cabin is further enhanced with individual 25.90 cm HD screens. The centre armrest houses

the multimedia remote and front and rear seat controls, as well as providing useful storage. Folding

business tables, LED reading lights, drop-in footrests and electric side rear window blinds are also

available to add comfort, convenience and privacy.

Technology Enhanced:

Adaptive Dynamics: The New Jaguar XJ delivers the comfort and refinement of a luxury car with

the responsiveness and driver involvement of a sports car. Whether cornering, navigating uneven

surfaces or accelerating, XJ's Adaptive Dynamics system continually monitors the car up to 500


times a second. Working in conjunction with the air suspension, it constantly varies the damping to

suit the conditions.

All Surface Progress Control: The New Jaguar XJ’s All Surface Progress Control (ASPC)

technology is a low speed cruise control that helps the car to cope with low traction situations.

ASPC allows one to concentrate on steering the vehicle and when activated, one can use the cruise

control buttons to set a 'target' speed between 3.6 km/h and 30 km/h. The system then works to

achieve and maintain that speed while exerting optimum traction control.

State-of-the-art InControl Touch Pro: It enhances the

New Jaguar XJ’s entertainment to the very highest level.

The 20.32 cm Touch-screen at the heart of the centre

console is large and highly-responsive with a customizable

home screen and lightning fast response time. Pinpoint

touch control allows one to manipulate and interact with

information swiftly and seamlessly. The Touch-screen

responds in the same manner as a smartphone or tablet computer, providing multi-touch gestures

such as pinch, zoom and swipe.

MeridianTM Surround Sound System: The New Jaguar XJ Portfolio derivatives come equipped

with the MeridianTM 825W Digital Surround Sound System which uses 20 speakers including 2

subwoofers.

Exterior Colours: Customers have a wide variety of 8 colour options to choose from on the New

Jaguar XJ such as Polaris White, Rhodium Silver, Ammonite Grey, Dark Sapphire, Odyssey Red,

Aurora Red, British Racing Green and Ultimate Black.
