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
