The Jag XJ is Here!!

The All-New 2010 Jaguar XJ has arrived! As Jaguar puts it, the 2010 XJ is “a blend of stunning design, intuitive technology, and innovative thinking that delivers a remarkable driving experience. A contemporary luxury car that is beautiful, exhilarating, and sustainable”. As expected, the new XJ’s styling is radically different and far more modern than the current car, taking a healthy dose of influence from Jaguar’s XF line. The XJ’s interior has also been seriously re-worked for the 2010 model year. Taking little in the way of influence from the smaller XF, the 2010 XJ features a unique, wrap-around dash, complete with plenty of wood and leather accents. A large LCD screen is front and center while rounded air vents give the XJ’s cabin an air of sportiness. Technical features of the 2010 XJ include an air suspension, Jaguar’s continuously variable damping Adaptive Dynamics system and Active Differential Control. The 2010 XJ is offered in three separate trim levels – XJ, Supercharged and Supersport – with each model available in long-wheelbase form. The base XJ will be powered by a 385 horsepower 5.0L V8 while the mid-level Supercharged model adds a supercharger to boost horsepower to 470. The customer order only Supersport model sits atop the XJ hierarchy, powered by a 510 horsepower version of Jaguar’s supercharged 5.0L V8. All XJ models will use a six-speed automatic transmission. Starting MSRP for the 2010 XJ is as follows: XJ 5.0 Liter V8:$72,500, XJ Supercharged: $87,500, XJ Supersport: $112,00, XJL(long wheel-base) 5.0 Liter V8: $79,500, XJL Supercharged: $90,500, and XJL Supersport:$115,000.
