he XJ is a full-size luxury sedan that represents a departure from
Jaguar's formerly conservative design practices. For the latest model year,
this athletic and coddling four-door gained a new supercharged V6 base engine
in addition to an available all-wheel-drive system.
With
headlights styled like narrowed eyes, a gracefully sloping roofline and unique
black C-pillars, the XJ looks like nothing else in the segment.The
tall front end, which no doubt was designed with European pedestrian safety
standards in mind, is generally styled like the XF, although the grille juts
out further from the fascia. From the side, the XJ takes a vastly different
approach with the C-pillar, which does not sweep in the same vaguely Lexus
style of the XF.
