The all-new XJ’s distinctive lines mark the next bold evolution of Jaguar’s new design language. The striking elongated teardrop shape of the side window graphic establishes the car’s streamlined profile, and is balanced by a dramatic lower swage line emanating from the front wheels that reinforces the vehicle’s forward stance. The new XJ’s sleek lines are complemented by a taut waistline, which further accentuates the impression of length and elegance and creates a natural tension as it fades from the front arch into the middle section of the car before reappearing as a strong haunch towards the rear.

Bold, confident face
The face of the XJ is confident, with a wide front track and short overhangs contributing to the finely judged proportions. The nose of the car follows Jaguar’s new design language, with a bold and assertive treatment: the powerful mesh grille and slim xenon headlamps creating a strong road presence.
The strong, muscular lower half of the car is contrasted with the slim and graceful quality of the roofline, which takes inspiration from the original 1968 XJ saloon. The wrap-around rear screen reduces the visual weight of the pillars, and gives the impression of an exotic ‘floating’ roof.
And the new XJ doesn’t just look sleek and streamlined: it is (alongside the new XF) the most aerodynamic Jaguar ever. The car has a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.29, and, equally importantly, outstanding high-speed stability.

Dramatic LED lights
The rear end is notable for its pure, sculpted shape, with a conscious absence of unnecessary ornamentation. The sheet metal of the rear panel retains its pure form, with a single leaping Jaguar motif making a strong, confident statement. The LED light clusters wrap stylishly over the rear wings and feature three dramatic red, vertical strips.

Architectural interior design
The overriding impression from the interior is a sense of personal space, a feeling enhanced by the clean, simple form of the leather-wrapped instrument panel sitting low across the vehicle. At the sides of the cabin, a bold architectural wood veneer sweeps forward from the doors to meet at the front of the car, emphasising the new XJ’s powerful, dynamic character. This linear, modern use of wood helps to create a truly welcoming environment.

From the outset, the panoramic glass roof has been an integral part of the design concept of the all-new XJ. It enables a lower, more streamlined roofline, and also dramatically enhances the feeling of light and space within the car. The roof’s opening mechanism slides the glass upwards and outwards, so that headroom is never compromised. A dark tint and reflective coating prevent the interior from overheating under strong sunlight, while twin electric blinds provide another level of privacy and sun screening.

THE LUXURY
“The new XJ’s interior is for people who value beautiful design. The cabin’s combination of elegant surfaces, stunning materials, sweeping instrument panel and bold architectural lines create a sense of handcrafted intimacy. Think minimalist hotel mixed with a hint of indulgence and sparkle – the epitome of modern luxury.”

The all-new XJ makes every journey a special occasion, both for the driver and passengers. From the Jaguar ‘handshake’ as you start the vehicle, to the comfort and support of the sculpted seats, the style and quality of the interior furnishings, and the outstanding audio system, every detail has been painstakingly developed to create a truly unique experience.
The new XJ enjoys more sumptuous leather than any previous Jaguar. It adorns all of the main surfaces, including the seats, instrument panel, door tops, centre console and armrests. The exclusive Supersport model even has a leather roof-liner.
Like the seams on a hand-tailored Savile Row suit, the soft-grain leather features beautiful twin-needle stitching. Visually seductive, this complex stitching delivers a feeling of opulence and style in a modern way.
Strong, sporting character
The driver grips a beautifully-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel, and the broad centre console – positioned further rearward thanks to the absence of a conventional gear lever – helps to provide an intimate, cockpit-like feel.
The new XJ’s elegant switchgear and phosphor blue lighting enhance the contemporary mood still more. The doors feature a beautiful pannier-style storage compartment, inspired by the look and feel of a high-quality, hand-stitched designer briefcase.
Reflecting the all-new XJ's approach to luxurious 'personal space', the new trim and colour selections, which include a fresh range of more daring colours chosen by the Jaguar Design Studio team, offer the opportunity for increased interior personalisation. Nine different mirror-matched wood veneers are available, all chosen to create a crisp, contemporary appearance, while carbon fibre and piano black finishes are also available for those who prefer a more technical ambience.
The simplicity and purity of the interior design emphasises the fine execution of detail. The four spherical air vents contrast a high-gloss piano black finish with chromed metal components. This stylish combination of piano black and chrome is repeated on the centre console.
Centre stage on the instrument panel is an analogue clock, its individual chrome chaplets, spun metal face and iridescent blue background inspired by luxury wristwatches. Many of these design details are picked out by the phosphor blue interior lighting, which further helps to create a relaxing and harmonious ambience.

Outstanding audio performance
The new XJ’s cabin doesn’t just provide a treat for the eyes, it provides a treat for the ears as well. In addition to the mellifluous but sporting exhaust note, there is a choice of high-performance audio options. Depending on market and model, the vehicle can offer the choice of CD/DVD functions; analogue, DAB or SiriusTM satellite radio receivers; digital or analogue television; and connectivity for portable music devices.
The ultimate audio experience is provided by the 1200W Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system. Bowers & Wilkins is an award-winning British manufacturer of audio and loudspeaker systems. The 1200W audio system in the all-new XJ combines 20 Bowers & Wilkins speakers powered through 15 channels and state-of-the-art sound processing technology. The result is sound quality so pure and so good that it equals that of a high-end home system.
Among the innovations employed to achieve this level of aural performance is the first automotive application of the sophisticated Audyssey MultEQ XT? audio tuning system, which digitally corrects any imperfections to deliver accurate and distortion-free sound for all seating positions. In addition, the new XJ marks the first automotive application of Dolby? Pro Logic IIx technology, and is also the first vehicle to offer the choice of the DTSTM Neo:6 decoder, to deliver the latest 7.1 surround sound audio.
When the rear-seat entertainment package is specified, passengers have access to dual 8-inch LCD screens in the rear of the front headrests and wireless infra-red digital headphones. A specially designed portable Touch-screen controller allows passengers to select their preferred source of entertainment, with the two rear screens and all headphones controlled independently.
