Thats one good looking jaguar! Beautiful.

Guys have you noticed in the second picture, the headlight part looks very similar to BMW Z4, doesn't it? IMO.

Oolala! that's a beauty

This is indeed a beautifully designed car. Looks very elegant. BUT to my mind (and i may just be old-fashioned), it has lost that "something" in the design element of the earlier jag XJs. Those were classically beautiful cars. Maybe this is one of those designs that takes some time to grow on you (for me at least).

Killer ! That is brilliant work Mr Callum . The looks are terrific . Of course it wont challenge the S, 7 , A8 soon but it could / would or should sell much more than the current XJ . Could it challenge the Quatropprte Masa ? I actually think Yes !
Put a V12 Jag ! Its time to start hunting for prey!
Jag should be back. It deserves to .

Official Press Release:

As promised the all-new Jaguar XJ has been unveiled during an exclusive event at the Saatchi Gallery in London this evening. Jaguar Cars Managing Director Mike O'Driscoll was the key speaker at the event while talk show host and car nut Jay Leno was the host. The list of VIP guests included celebrities, business leaders and other public figures.

Jaguar anticipates that the super luxury British sedan will infuse a daring new spirit in its segment, thanks to a bold new design direction, good performance and a high standard of engineering excellence.

"The new XJ is a thoroughly modern interpretation of the quintessential Jaguar," said Ian Callum, Design Director and the man who penned the XF as well. "Its visual impact stems from the elongated teardrop shape of the car's side windows, that powerful stance and its wide track. It is the most emphatic statement yet of Jaguar's new design direction."

A standout exterior feature is the panoramic glass roof that not only creates extra interior light but also gives the XJ a lower roofline. Jaguar says it will offer both the standard car and the long-wheel-base version right from the get go. The latter is 125mm longer but both versions have a boot as big as 520 litres in volume.

Aerospace-inspired aluminium body architecture was used in constructing the XJ, making it lighter (by at least 150kg) than its competitors. That of course improves performance and fuel consumption. The aluminium solution will allow Jaguar to better its carbon footprint because it has 50 percent recyclable material and is potentially able to save up to three tonnes of C02 gases per car.

Some driving comfort technologies utilised include the Adaptive Dynamics - which is continuously variable damping - an air suspension system, and active differential control.

The interior space features chrome and piano black detailing, leather and veneer surfaces, and other niceties depending on whether customers choose the Luxury, Premium Luxury, Portfolio, Supercharged or the range-topping Supersport models.

The gadgets and comfort creatures list has things like an 8-inch touch screen for playing DVD movies, a 1200W Bowers & Wilkins sound system and the Media Hub.

The Gen III petrol and turbo diesel engines make their way into the XJ. These are the 3.0-litre V6 diesel which has a base price of £52,500, the 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 with 385hp (283kW), the 5.0-litre V8 supercharged making 510hp (375kW) and a new 470hp (346kW) version of the supercharged V8. Jaguar's official combined economy figure for the diesel is 40.1 mpg and its C02 emissions figure is 184g/km. The rear wheels are driven through a 6-speed ZF automatic gearbox.

Orders have been opened for the XJ and deliveries will begin in early 2010.

Thats one hot looking Jag. Hope to see these on indian roads soon and giving the BMW's and mercs a run for their money.

AyAn! · 10th July 2009, 18:58

blacked out rear pillars doesn't gel well with the design..Looks more like an afterthought. And the rear resembles the Lexus SC430. All that apart this is one stunner.Way to go Jag.

n_aditya · 10th July 2009, 19:14

Looks pretty good with a very generous amount of aerodynamic styling.

Is it just me or do the tail lights have a striking resemblance to the ones on the maybach.
