Jaguar xji. Special position

The XJ sedan first appeared before the public in the spring of 2003 as a 2004 model year. The car has the appearance of a typical representative of the Jaguar family. Retaining impeccable style, XJ has become the epitome of automotive innovation. For the first time in the history of the brand, this model received a fully aluminum monocoque monocoque body (60% stiffer and 40% lighter than its steel counterpart). Self-adjusting, air suspension changes ground clearance depending on the speed of movement, providing better handling.

Nine leather interior options will satisfy the requirements of the most demanding customers, and a DVD player and TVs in the headrests of the front seats will not let passengers get bored on the way.

Elegant, sensual lines, the use of the most expensive natural materials, exquisite interior trim and impeccable quality - all this distinguishes Jaguar from a simple car.

The most important event for the XJ was the introduction of a long version of the LWB (3034 mm wheelbase) in early 2004. For ease of landing, the height of the roof above the rear seats is increased by 70 mm. In Russia, the XJ family is offered in the following versions: XJ 3.0 Classic with a 3.0 liter V6 24V engine (240 hp), XJ 3.5 Executive with a 3.5 liter V8 32V engine (262 hp), XJ 4.2 Executive with a 4.2 l V8 32V engine (300 hp).

All models are equipped only with a 6-speed adaptive ZF automatic transmission, a full set of electronic active and passive safety systems, air suspension with CATS, leather and wood trim, separate climate control and an audio system.

For a surcharge, a Premium audio system (12 speakers + subwoofer) is offered, standard for the Super V8, a built-in GSM telephone, a leather and wood steering wheel, a sunroof, 20-inch wheels, navigation + TV, and for LWB (tables, DVD and two displays for rear VIP passengers, 4-zone climate control and much more).

In 2005, at the New York Auto Show, Jaguar introduced a “charged” version of the XJ sedan, moreover, built on the basis of its extended version. The car was named Jaguar XJ Super V8 Portfolio. Under the hood of the XJ Super V8 Portfolio is a 400-horsepower version of the new 4.2-liter V8 engine with a mechanical supercharger, which is aggregated with a six-speed manual transmission. From zero to one hundred kilometers per hour, the car can accelerate in five seconds, and its top speed is limited to 250 kilometers per hour.

In addition to the engine, the special version of the Jaguar XJ is distinguished by an exclusive body color, the presence of stylish 20-inch wheels, a fine-mesh radiator grille and aluminum “gills” on the front fenders. The interior of the car received an original interior trim, an advanced DVD system and some other details that distinguish the Super V8 Portfolio from the basic versions.

In 2006, Jaguar continued the process of improving the entire range of XJ sedans. Sound-absorbing laminated side windows are used to reduce the level of noise penetrating into the passenger compartment, and the most modern tire pressure monitoring system determines its drop in all five wheels, including the spare. A new braking system with larger discs and stiffer calipers improves the XJ's already high braking performance.

In 2009, there was a radical update of the Jaguar XJ, it remained luxurious as before, but acquired futuristic features in body lines and became even more impetuous. The appearance turned out to be bright: an updated radiator grille, teardrop-shaped windows, a cat-like cut of the headlights. Xenon headlights are equipped with LED backlight and a sensor that automatically switches between high and low beam. The designers have done everything so that the car does not lose its classic charm. Squinted headlights, vertical taillights, bonnet and sidewall embossing or an imposing grille give the XJ a distinctive, luxurious charm.

The car has become a little longer and wider, but most importantly, the body configuration has changed dramatically. The classic three-volume sedan with a pronounced trunk has been replaced by the now fashionable four-door coupe concept, which from a distance can be mistaken for a two-volume body with a roof line falling back, in which the trunk lid opens along with the rear window. The updated Jaguar XJ has a remarkably low drag coefficient of 0.29.

In the interior, the Jaguar XJ has remained true to itself. The salon is distinguished by comfort and free space: five people in the Jaguar XJ will feel great even on a long journey. Everywhere only high-quality materials, wooden parts are hand-made and fit perfectly to each other. High-quality leather is present everywhere, not only on the seats, but also on the armrests, doors, center panel and dashboard. The sporty character of the exterior of the body is reminiscent of aluminum decorative inserts.

The classic layout of the controls in the Jaguar XJ seamlessly echoes the latest technical solutions. The selector washer of the 6-band automatic, which is convenient to operate with one brush, leaves the center console. A little higher is the touch screen of the navigation and infotainment system, where the tactile keys for climate control, communication functions, front seat massage and other wealth of optional choices are displayed.

The main feature of the touch screen is the ability to display two different information fields at once: thanks to Dual-View technology, it is possible to simultaneously view navigation by the driver and DVD by the passenger. The configuration of the instruments that pop up at the start of the engine on a 12.3-inch color display may vary depending on the preferences of the driver.

One of the highlights of the cabin is the panoramic glass roof. Trunk volume is impressive, almost 520 liters.

At the choice of the buyer, the Jaguar XJ can be equipped with various types of engines: from a three-liter diesel engine with twin turbocharging to a five-liter gasoline unit capable of delivering 510 hp. with amazing torque. All modifications of the car are equipped with an automatic six-speed gearbox, created in the laboratories of the German concern ZF. The top-end sedan can accelerate to hundreds in just 4.5 seconds. The XJ's suspension is complemented by adjustable dampers for superior handling and passenger comfort.

In the summer of 2015, the British automaker presented once again the updated Jaguar XJ. The flagship of the "cat" brand received minor changes in appearance, new equipment and improved steering.

The appearance of the sedan has changed slightly. The facelifted 2015 XJ can be distinguished from its predecessor by slightly different full-LED headlight patterns and a larger and steeper grille. In the top configuration, the air intakes are underlined with chrome. The graphics of the characteristic elongated rear lights have changed slightly, and the exhaust pipes have acquired an oval shape. The car has a classic look with excellent design that attracts the eye, but at the same time does not have defiant features.

As before, the 2015 Jaguar XJ is available in two wheelbases – standard (SWB) and extended (LWB). In the first version, the overall length of the sedan is 5,130 mm (the wheelbase is 3,032), in the second it is 5,255 (the wheelbase is 3,157). The width of the car is 1,899 millimeters, the height is 1,460.

There is navigation, Wi-Fi, a Meridian audio system with 26 speakers with a power of 1,300 watts. The sedan is offered with adaptive cruise control, all-round cameras and a semi-automatic parking system.

Jaguar XJ 2015 received two new modifications: Autobiography and R-Sport.

The R-Sport version sports an aggressive front bumper, side skirts, an air intake with electric curtains, a small spoiler on the trunk lid, a quartet of exhaust pipes, sports seats and a branded steering wheel, trim in the center console in black piano lacquer and 20-inch Mataivia wheels.

The luxury Autobiography trim is only available on the long wheelbase XJ LWB. It features a leather interior with contrast stitching, illuminated stainless steel sills, natural oak trim, separate rear seats with massage and ventilation functions, and 10.2-inch displays in the backs of the front seats.

The line of power units consists of powerful engines. All of them come with direct injection and variable valve timing.

After the modernization, the output of the 3.0-liter diesel engine increased from the previous 275 to 300 hp, and the peak torque reached 700 Nm against 600 before. The engineers managed to achieve this by improving the turbocharging and injection system. This motor accelerates the car to 100 km / h in 6.2 seconds (was 6.4 seconds) and has a low emission of harmful substances of 149 g / km, complying with Euro-6 standards.

Gasoline engines are a two-liter “four” (240 hp, 340 N m), a three-liter “six” (340 hp, 450 N m) and a five-liter “eight” in three versions (470 hp, 575 Nm, 510 hp, 625 Nm or 550 hp, 680 Nm).

The gearbox for all versions is the same - an eight-speed automatic ZF: 8HP70 or a more compact 8HP45. Drive — rear and full.

In addition, hydraulic power steering has given way to electric EPAS, which has a beneficial effect on handling and has reduced average fuel consumption in the combined cycle by 3%.

The sedan was presented to the public in 2015, at the exhibition it received a lot of attention from the audience. The model has changed a lot in contrast to the previous version, the car has improved in all aspects, let's start taking it apart in order.

Design

The sedan has an aggressive premium appearance. In front we are met by a long hood with a relief in the middle. The radiator grille is chrome-plated, and its size is simply huge. The optics are narrow, LED, and it is she who plays the main role in the aggressive appearance. On the bumper there are air intakes, which are decorated with a chrome insert.

From the side, you can understand how long this car is, it stands out from this angle only with a plastic lining in front of the front arch, which seems to replace the gills. Otherwise, everything is simple, a small stamping on the bottom and an aerodynamic line on top. The windows have an impressive chrome trim, in general, the look is stylish.

The rear of the sedan has narrow optics that have a slightly custom design compared to the competition. The bumper is simple, but it will please with a chrome insert line and 2 chrome exhaust pipes.

The dimensions of the model were also affected:

• length - 5130 mm;

• height - 1460 mm;
• wheelbase - 3032 mm.

Salon

This is a luxury car and therefore the quality of its interior is simply at the highest level, pleases the assembly, materials, ergonomics and attention to detail. Let's start with the seats, of which there are 5. Front and rear are chic leather seats with electric adjustments and memory, both front and rear. The seats are also ventilated. Power front seats are located on the door, and the buttons for adjusting the rear row are located on the armrest.

The steering wheel of the model is completely sheathed in leather, it also has electric adjustments and a memory function, and it also has multimedia control keys. The instrument panel is a large display that can display information in the form of analog sensors, and if desired, absolutely any information can be displayed on it.

The center console of the Jaguar XJ 2018-2019 received two chic and sporty illuminated air deflectors. Between these deflectors there is an arrow clock. Below is a large touchscreen multimedia and navigation display, on which everything is beautifully designed and, in principle, intuitively clear how to use it. A little lower is the climate control unit, which also received a very interesting design. The tunnel has a gearshift washer, multimedia and niches for cup holders and small things.

The back row received a selector for managing separate climate control. On the armrest there are cup holders, niches for small things and, as already mentioned, power adjustments. In the headrests there are multimedia screens that are huge compared to competitors, which slide out beautifully when activated.

The trunk is, in principle, an important aspect of such a model, and here it is quite roomy, its volume is 520 liters.

Specifications

The car received only 3 motors in the line for buyers in our country. As you understand, these engines are powerful and delight with dynamics, although this sedan was not created for this.

1. The base unit is a simple turbocharged gasoline engine that, with a volume of 2 liters, produces 240 horsepower. A car with such an engine will pick up the first hundred in 8 seconds, and the maximum speed reaches 241 km / h. Consumption is high, it is equal to 13 liters in the city, and if you drive calmly, this figure will drop to 7 liters on the highway.
2. Next in terms of power is the diesel turbo unit. This is a 3-liter V-shaped engine with 6 cylinders and 300 horsepower and 700 units of torque. Acceleration to hundreds takes 6.2 seconds, and the top speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h. The motor will please with a consumption of 10 liters of diesel fuel in the city and 6 liters on the highway.
3. And the last engine in the line is a turbocharged V6. This is a 3 liter petrol engine that produces 340 horsepower and 450 H*m of torque. If you buy a car with this engine, then acceleration to hundreds will take you 6.4 seconds, and the maximum speed is still limited at around 250 km / h. Consumption is certainly high, namely 15 liters, and then in quiet mode, on the highway this figure drops to 8 liters.

All types of Jaguar XJ 2018-2019 engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and almost all types of engines are connected to all-wheel drive. Only the weakest unit has rear-wheel drive.

The car's suspension is pneumatic both front and rear. Specialized electronic sensors are installed on the racks. Their task is to read information from each rack and transmit it to the central computer. The data received by the computer is processed and sent along the chain further to each air spring. As a result, with the help of a central computer, the suspension is kept in the most correct, comfortable position relative to the road surface. This technology allows you to get maximum comfort on the road, plus there is less impact on the most wear-prone parts of the suspension.

Price

The model is offered to the buyer in 5 different trim levels, plus there are additional options. The basic version will cost a rather large amount, namely 6 480 000 rubles and here is the list of equipment in it:

It is clear that this car is unlikely to be able to buy ordinary people. X351 is designed for those who have not just money, but a lot of money. Not for nothing in 2010 the car received the award "The most luxurious car of the year."

If you become the owner of this car, you are definitely a person who has achieved a lot and definitely knows how to spend and earn money. Therefore, you must be aware that the XJ is a machine that requires investment throughout its "life". But the fact that the car is worth the money spent warms the soul. Spending a large amount on the purchase of such a car, you will get the perfect "iron horse" for driving around the city.

Be prepared for the fact that it will be expensive to "feed" such a machine. Because gasoline will go very quickly. But this does not negate the greatness of Jaguar. It is recommended to purchase, of course, a car of the latest model of the 4th generation, because this car has no analogues.
