Six-cylinder X models are powered by the AJ16 inline-six engine, which is a further enhancement of the AJ6 engine that uses an electronic distributorless ignition system. The V12 remained available until the end of the X production in although it ended one year earlier in the United States market due to problems meeting OBD-II -related emissions requirements. Jaguar first introduced the supercharged XJR model in the X's production run; the first supercharged road car manufactured by the company. Design of the X was directly affected by the Ford Motor Company 's ownership of Jaguar between and However, the X's traction control system was obtained from the Ford Mondeo and it also featured a Nippondenso air conditioner purchased through Ford channels. With the introduction of the X generation in came a switch from the XJ6 and XJ12 nomenclature to XJ8, reflecting the fact that the X cars were powered by a new V8 engine. The exterior styling of the X is similar to the X with minor refinements. The biggest change in the appearance was the switch to a stylistically rounded design for all of the exterior lights, indicators and interior trim and fittings, including information displays and switches. The interior was also updated to eliminate the rectangular instrument binnacle which had gone largely unchanged since the original XJ40; instead, three large gauges were set into recesses in the walnut-faced dashboard in front of the driver similar in design to the recently launched Jaguar XK X The major mechanical change was the replacement of both the inline-six and V12 engines with new eight-cylinder AJ-V8 in either a displacement of 3. No manual transmission was available, and all X models were supplied with a five-speed automatic gearbox. In , Jaguar introduced the re-engineered and newly designed third generation of the XJ, continuing with the XJ8 model designation. Designated internally as the X, it has an all-aluminium body and chassis, a new V8 engine, as well as greater interior and luggage spaces. It was the first Jaguar XJ to be completely designed under Ford ownership and utilises electronics and computer-controlled systems sourced through existing partner suppliers or directly produced by Ford. The V8 engine was offered in larger 3. A new six-speed automatic gearbox was fitted which was lighter and offered better economy with lock-up on all gears and a larger spread of ratios. Air suspension was fitted at the front and rear, providing adaptive damping as well as rear self leveling — with computer-controlled and suspension mode. Dynamic stability control as well as traction control were standard. Radar based adaptive cruise control was offered. Two-zone climate control was also standard, with four-zone available on long- models. An optional touch screen interface controlled default settings, satellite navigation, the Alpine audio system, and bluetooth telephone. A facelifted version of the X was launched at the end of February with a revised lower grille, prominent faux side air vents, small bootlid spoiler and revised seating. In keeping with Ian Callum's new design direction for Jaguar, the XJ has an all-new exterior design and a break from the XJ Series mould carried over on all previous generations. It is a longer, wider car that is much bigger than its predecessor. The front has clear links with the XF executive car, although with slimmer, sleeker lights and a larger, squarer grille add a more aggressive appearance. The rear is the contentious part, an unusual design element for a Jaguar automobile. The upright, swooping taillights, nicknamed "cat's claws", and black roof panels at each side of the rear screen, which aim to hide the XJ's width, are the most striking aspects. There is also a standard full-length sunroof, that extends all the way back with just a single body-coloured roof panel that the designer refers as bridges on yachts. The dashboard can be configured to display various virtual dials in addition to the obligatory speedometer. The console display presents different views to the driver and passenger, including control of a sophisticated video and audio system. Like several of its predecessors, the X is available in both standard and long-wheelbase form, as well as many special editions. Engines are modern units already seen in other JLR products: the 5.

The X received a minor facelift in , primarily upgrading the suspension and rear seat facilities on the long wheelbase versions, but also introducing small cosmetic changes across the range, and making stop-start technology standard on all engines. The X received another facelift in , adding LED headlights, J-Blade rear taillights, and adding several new driver assistance and safety features such as lane assist, adaptive cruise control with a new feature known as "Queue assist", reverse traffic direction, closing vehicle sensing, a degree camera system, and semi-automated parking features.

SS Jaguar XJ: What We Know So Far

The all-electric Jaguar XJ is yet another attempt by the revered British automaker to avoid becoming an anachronism. Along with trendy crossovers such as the subcompact E-Pace and compact F-Pace , the company is turning its attention to electrification—first with the alluring I- Pace crossover and now the next-generation XJ sedan. The latter has long sat atop Jaguar's luxurious lineup , but now it will rule the throne with electron-fed motors versus gas-burning ones. We expect this new four-door EV to have a driving range of more than miles and to maintain the upscale characteristics that have endeared it to generations of royal families. While we don't have full details on the XJ, here's what we know so far. While it has been confirmed that the next-generation XJ will be powered exclusively by electricity , there has also been speculation that it could be some sort of sedan-SUV mashup. However, the most recent spy photos that we've seen all but assure that the XJ will continue the company's tradition of building sumptuous sedans. We expect the new XJ sedan to be unveiled later this year as a model. Jaguar hasn't said how much the XJ will cost or what trim levels will be offered. The next XJ is expected to be powered by electric motors mounted at the front and the back to create all-wheel drive. If its powertrain is anything like the current setup found on the I-Pace, it'll make somewhere around horsepower and lb-ft of torque—if not more. The XJ will surely have impressive acceleration in the city and at highway speeds, an enjoyable and typical trait of luxury EVs. Jaguar did a fine job of making the I-Pace satisfying to drive, with nimble handling characteristics and more steering feedback than we expect from electric crossovers. Its standard air suspension provides a smooth and quiet ride, and that'll be of utmost importance on a luxury liner such as the XJ. Every XJ engine delivers an outstanding combination of performance, refinement and efficiency. The range offers the choice of a V6 Turbocharged Diesel engine or three petrol engines. Petrol engines include the 3. Riveted, and without a single welded joint, the percent aluminium chassis and body structure makes this one of the lightest cars in its class. The excellent power-to-weight ratio improves all aspects of performance and the monocoque construction offers increased rigidity for improved handling as well as excellent safety benefits. With Remote Premium standard on XJ, you can monitor your vehicle from your smartphone. Check the fuel levels, secure your car remotely, set the perfect cabin temperature and find your XJ easily with Remote Beep and Flash. Inspired by the past, engineered by the present. The 50th Anniversary Special Edition celebrates 50 years of Jaguar XJ with exclusive design features and meticulous attention to detail. Whether you take regular trips in start-stop city traffic, or longer journeys on the motorway, make an informed decision about your next vehicle with 5 quick questions. Browse XJ's line-up and discover your perfect combinations of performance, handling and comfort. A new and much sought-after alloy wheel featuring numerous distinctive circular holes was also introduced, commonly known as the "pepperpot" wheel. Pirelli tyres were also fitted as standard equipment. For the model year the Sovereign name was transferred from the Daimler marque to a new top- specification Jaguar model, the "Jaguar Sovereign". The name was also dropped at the time in the UK market, due to Jaguar being split from British Leyland and privatised; the name was used on top-of-the-range -branded cars. Daimler models became the Daimler 4. The last cars built were numbered and sold in Canada as part of a special series commemorating the end of production. These cars featured the option of having a brass plaque located in the cabin. It was the original purchaser's option to have this plaque, which also gave a number to the car such as No. This brass plaque initiative did not come from Jaguar in Coventry: it was a local effort by Jaguar Canada staff and the brass plaques were engraved locally. In total between and there were around , XJ6 and XJ12 cars produced. The second generation of the XJ was produced for a total of 17 years with the arrival of the XJ40 in with its X and X derivatives being introduced later. Collectively these are all considered to be part of the XJ40 family [ citation needed ] although Jaguar only applies the internal codename to the through models. The intended replacement for the Series XJ models was code-named XJ40, and development on the all-new car began in the early s with small scale models being built as early as The project suffered a number of delays due to problems at parent company British Leyland and events such as the oil crisis. With the XJ40, Jaguar began to place more emphasis on build quality as well as simplification of the XJ's build process. The new platform came with significantly different styling, which was more squared-off and angular than the outgoing Series III. Individual round were replaced with rectangular units on the higher-specification cars, and all models came with only a single, wide-sweeping wiper. The interior received several modernisations such as the switch to a digital instrument cluster although this was eventually discontinued for the model year in favour of analogue instruments. The new unit featured a four-valve, twin overhead cam design. The front of the car was redesigned significantly to return to four individual round headlamps that provided definition to the sculptured bonnet. Mechanically, it was similar to the XJ40 that it replaced. Six-cylinder X models are powered by the AJ16 inline-six engine, which is a further enhancement of the AJ6 engine that uses an electronic distributorless ignition system. The V12 remained available until the end of the X production in although it ended one year earlier in the United States market due to problems meeting OBD-II -related emissions requirements.

The XJ-S was introduced on 10 September Power came from the Jaguar V12 engine with a choice of a manual or an automatic transmission , but the manual was soon dropped as they were left over from V12 E Type production. V12 powered production automobiles were unusual at the time; Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari produced such models. In , General Motors' Turbo-Hydramatic transmissions were fitted. Jaguar launched the XJ-S in the wake of a fuel crisis, when the market for a 5. The buttresses behind the windows were criticised at the time as German authorities feared these would restrict rearward vision, and refused to give the XJ-S, and the similarly designed Lancia Montecarlo , type approval — necessitating German XJ-S buyers to obtain road approval for each individual car on registration. In , the new 3. The XJ-SC was not a full convertible but was a fixed profile variant with a non-removable centre targa-type structure, fixed cant rails above the doors and fixed rear quarter windows. The six-cylinder cars can be identified by a raised bonnet center section. Between and , the six-cylinder-engined cars were only available with a five-speed manual transmission Getrag , with a four-speed automatic ZF 4HP22 offered from onwards along with improved fuel injection as used on the XJ The two-seat XJ-SC targa-type model, never a great success in the marketplace, was replaced by a two-seat full convertible in which proved to be a great hit. According to some sources, a total of 2, cars were converted. From to , a special high performance XJR-S version equipped with the 5. The car had a distinctive body kit , special alloy wheels, a unique suspension system utilising modified coil springs and Bilstein shocks, a luxurious interior with Connolly Autolux leather along with walnut wood trim, and handling improvements. Between and , a total of XJR-S cars were produced with the 5. This was different from the standard 6. A modified air intake system and a low loss dual exhaust system was also standard on the model. The engine was mated to the 3-speed GM automatic transmission utilising a recalibrated valve body and had faster shift times. The car was equipped with Dunlop D40 M2 tyres for better grip. Jaguar considered a luxury Daimler version to be marketed as the Daimler-S , notably without the buttresses and with only a single prototype built in Ford dropped the model name's hyphen, marketing it as the XJS. Designer Geoff Lawson noted the buttresses were part of the car's character. The car received a new 4. In , a convertible model having the same engine was added to the range. The V12 engine's capacity was enlarged to 6. With the introduction of the 6. At the same time, the car received more aerodynamic front and rear bumpers. The main interior change was to the instrument pack; the original featured distinctive drum type ancillary gauges - this was replaced by a more conventional style binnacle similar to that found in the XJ40 saloon. In April , substantial revisions were made to the 4. In , the final specification changes were made and the car was referred to as the Celebration model to celebrate the 60th year of Jaguar Cars. Celebration cars feature diamond turned wheels, Jaguar embossed seats and a wooden steering wheel. A number of XJS's were modified by coachbuilders Lynx to create a three-door shooting , marketed as the Lynx Eventer. Records suggest that 52 pre-facelift XJ-S, and 15 post-facelift XJS, were adapted, with 18 being left hand drive and 49 being right hand drive. The cars were sold as Lister-Jaguar and 90 customer cars in total were converted. The standard package included increased engine displacement to 7. The braking system had ventilated brake discs and were moved outward for better cooling and stability. The interior was also modified and now had Recaro racing bucket seats and a new steering wheel with optimised feedback. The engine was mated to a 5-speed Getrag manual transmission. The cars were fitted with inch wheels with wide Pirelli tyres measuring inch at the front and inch at the rear. Some customers further got their cars modified with the addition of the LeMans package. For , the "Group 44" racing team had a very successful season in Trans Am with a race car based on the actual production XJ-S chassis and running gear. The team won the series' drivers' championship cup for Bob Tullius but missed winning the manufacturer's title by two points only one Jaguar was competing in the Trans-Am series compared to many more Porsche entrants. In , a purpose-built tube-frame "silhouette" style XJS race car was constructed which greatly reduced the weight compared to the full production chassis car campaigned in This silhouette car had only the production car's roof panel as the sole piece of factory XJS sheetmetal on the car. Group 44 succeeded in again capturing the driver's championship for Bob Tullius and also captured the manufacturer's title as well, by entering Brian Fuerstenau driving the car at some venues to gain additional manufacturer's points for Jaguar. The silhouette car survived and has surfaced recently in the SVRA historic sports race series. The factory chassis race car is believed to still be in the hands of Group 44's Bob Tullius. Diem and Turner covered the same distance in 32 hours and 7 minutes on the US Express , an unofficial successor to the Cannonball Run. After more victories for the team's Jaguars in including lapping the The turbocharged Volvo T run by Eggenberger Motorsport arrived on the scene and had the speed to match the V12, though with turbocharging new to touring car racing it took a number of races for reliability to match the cars' speed. Walkinshaw qualified in provisional 7th place with a However, the tyres failed to arrive at the circuit in time and Walkinshaw eventually qualified 10th having to use front wheels on the car as no suitable rubber was available. TWR built a total of 7 cars. While he reportedly had obtained more power from the V12 than TWR, Willmington didn't have TWR's resources to develop either the car or engine reliability and results were not forthcoming, though on occasions where the track had a long enough straight such as Sandown Raceway in or the Adelaide International Raceway , the Willmington Jag was usually the fastest car in a straight line. John Goss also ran his own privately entered XJS in the James Hardie after Jaguar-Rover Australia pulled its backing of the proposed TWR return to Bathurst due to a severe downturn in the Australian car market forced him to defend his crown alone, though he did receive some technical assistance from TWR. Electrical problems in the race saw Goss finish 24th with veteran Australian driver Bob Muir. Today the XJS continues to be extensively campaigned in club level motorsport both in the United Kingdom and overseas. Their championship has now been running for over a decade, offering an affordable entry into club motorsport in the UK, and continuing to attract large grids of this unlikely racing car. Cars compete in various states of modification, from barely modified road cars through to full race-specification cars built in homage to the great TWR specials.

The XJ6, using the 2. Apart from the engines, the front and rear suspensions carried over from previous models as well: the widest version of Jaguar's IRS unit from the Mark X , and the -mounted independent front suspension first seen in the Mark 1 , with new anti-dive geometry. An upmarket version was marketed under the Daimler brand as the , continuing the name from the Daimler version of the Jaguar The car was introduced in September Power-assisted steering and leather upholstery were standard on the 2. Air conditioning was offered as an optional extra on the 4. In these advertisements, he referred to the car as "the finest Jaguar ever". In March it was announced that the Borg-Warner Model 8 automatic transmission, which the XJ6 had featured since , would be replaced on the 4. Around this time other, minor changes were made as well, such as moving the rear reflectors from beside to below the rear lights; on the interior the chrome gauge bezels were replaced with black ones, to cut down on distracting reflections. In , the option of a long-wheelbase version, providing a 4-inch increase in leg room for passengers on the rear seats, became available. A high performance version called the XJ12 was announced in July , featuring a simplified grille treatment, and powered by a Jaguar's 5. A badge-engineered version, the Daimler Double-Six, was introduced in , [7] reviving the Daimler model name of — The XJ line received a facelift in Autumn for the model year, thereafter known as the "Series II"; retrospectively the earlier cars were referred to as the "Series I". The 4. Series II cars are visually differentiated from their predecessors by raised front bumpers to meet US crash safety regulations, which necessitated a smaller grille, complemented by a discreet additional inlet directly below the . In April the North American models got a slightly revised set of front bumpers which had rubber over-riders covering the full length of the bumper with embedded turn signals at each end, and the Zenith- Stromberg carburettors of the Vpowered cars were replaced by Bosch-Lucas electronic fuel injection. In the carburetors were similarly replaced with EFI in the 4. In May it was announced that the automatic transmission used behind the cylinder engine would be changed to General Motors ' three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic transmission, in place of the British-built Borg-Warner used hitherto. In the last year of production in New Zealand , a special 'SuperJag' XJ6-SLE model was produced which featured half leather, half dralon wide pleat seats, vinyl roof, chrome steel wheels and air conditioning as standard. A total of 91, Series II models were produced, of which 14, were fitted with the V12 engine. Engines [11]. Production count [11]. Short-Long wheelbase [12]. The car was originally shown at the London Motor Show in October , [14] but it subsequently became clear that it was not ready for production [ citation needed ] , and the economic troubles unfolding in the western world at that time seemed to have reduced any sense of urgency about producing and selling the cars: [ citation needed ] it was reported [ where? A few XJ-C cars were modified by Lynx Cars and Avon into a convertible body style with a retractable canvas top, but this was not a factory product. Lynx conversions 16 in total did benefit from powered tops. Both six and twelve-cylinder models were offered, 6, of the former and 1, of the latter were made. Even with the delay, these cars suffered from water leaks and wind noise [ citation needed ]. The delayed introduction, the labour-intensive work required by the modified saloon body, the higher price than the four-door car, and the early demise promulgated by the new XJ-S , all ensured a small production run. A small number of Daimler versions of the XJ-C were made. Production Count [16]. The car was significantly facelifted again in April , known as the "Series III", incorporating a subtle exterior redesign by Pininfarina. Changes from the Series II included thicker and more incorporated rubber bumpers with decorative chrome only on the top edge, flush door handles, one-piece front door glass without a separate quarter light , a grille with only vertical vanes, reverse lights moved from the boot plinth to the larger rear light clusters, and a revised roofline with narrower door frames and increased glass area. The option of a sunroof and cruise control were also offered for the first time. The 5. The larger six-cylinder and V12 models incorporated Bosch fuel injection made under licence by Lucas while the smaller six-cylinder remained carburetted. The smaller six-cylinder engine was never offered in the US, and the V12 was no longer offered there after In the cylinder heads of the V12 engine were replaced by the new "Fireball" high- compression design by Swiss racing driver Michael May , and were badged from this time onwards to as "HE" High Efficiency models. In late the Daimler Sovereign and Double Six models received a minor interior upgrade for the model year with features similar to Vanden Plas models. In late the interior of all Series III models underwent a minor update for the model year. A trip computer appeared for the first time and was fitted as standard on V12 models. A new and much sought-after alloy wheel featuring numerous distinctive circular holes was also introduced, commonly known as the "pepperpot" wheel. Pirelli tyres were also fitted as standard equipment. For the model year the Sovereign name was transferred from the Daimler marque to a new top-specification Jaguar model, the "Jaguar Sovereign". The Vanden Plas name was also dropped at the time in the UK market, due to Jaguar being split from British Leyland and privatised; the name was used on top-of-the-range Rover -branded cars. Daimler models became the Daimler 4. The last cars built were numbered and sold in Canada as part of a special series commemorating the end of production. These cars featured the option of having a brass plaque located in the cabin. It was the original purchaser's option to have this plaque, which also gave a number to the car such as No. This brass plaque initiative did not come from Jaguar in Coventry: it was a local effort by Jaguar Canada staff and the brass plaques were engraved locally. In total between and there were around , XJ6 and XJ12 cars produced. The second generation of the XJ was produced for a total of 17 years with the arrival of the XJ40 in with its X and X derivatives being introduced later. Collectively these are all considered to be part of the XJ40 family [ citation needed ] although Jaguar only applies the internal codename to the through models. The intended replacement for the Series XJ models was code-named XJ40, and development on the all-new car began in the early s with small scale models being built as early as The project suffered a number of delays due to problems at parent company British Leyland and events such as the oil crisis. With the XJ40, Jaguar began to place more emphasis on build quality as well as simplification of the XJ's build process. The new platform came with significantly different styling, which was more squared-off and angular than the outgoing Series III. Individual round headlamps were replaced with rectangular units on the higher-specification cars, and all models came with only a single, wide-sweeping windshield wiper. The interior received several modernisations such as the switch to a digital instrument cluster although this was eventually discontinued for the model year in favour of analogue instruments. The new unit featured a four-valve, twin overhead cam design. The front of the car was redesigned significantly to return to four individual round headlamps that provided definition to the sculptured bonnet. Mechanically, it was similar to the XJ40 that it replaced. Six-cylinder X models are powered by the AJ16 inline-six engine, which is a further enhancement of the AJ6 engine that uses an electronic distributorless ignition system. The V12 remained available until the end of the X production in although it ended one year earlier in the United States market due to problems meeting OBD-II -related emissions requirements. Jaguar first introduced the supercharged XJR model in the X's production run; the first supercharged road car manufactured by the company. V12 powered production automobiles were unusual at the time; Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari produced such models. In , General Motors' Turbo-Hydramatic transmissions were fitted. Jaguar launched the XJ-S in the wake of a fuel crisis, when the market for a 5.

In , the new 3. The XJ-SC was not a full convertible but was a fixed profile variant with a non-removable centre targa-type structure, fixed cant rails above the doors and fixed rear quarter windows. The six-cylinder cars can be identified by a raised bonnet center section. Between and , the six-cylinder-engined cars were only available with a five-speed manual transmission Getrag , with a four-speed automatic ZF 4HP22 offered from onwards along with improved fuel injection as used on the XJ The two-seat XJ-SC targa-type model, never a great success in the marketplace, was replaced by a two-seat full convertible in which proved to be a great hit. According to some sources, a total of 2, cars were converted. From to , a special high performance XJR-S version equipped with the 5. The car had a distinctive body kit , special alloy wheels, a unique suspension system utilising modified coil springs and Bilstein shocks, a luxurious interior with Connolly Autolux leather along with walnut wood trim, and handling improvements.

The engine was mated to the 3-speed GM automatic transmission utilising a recalibrated valve body and had faster shift times. The car was equipped with Dunlop D40 M2 tyres for better grip. Jaguar considered a luxury Daimler version to be marketed as the Daimler-S , notably without the buttresses and with only a single prototype built in Ford dropped the model name's hyphen, marketing it as the XJS. Designer Geoff Lawson noted the buttresses were part of the car's character. The car received a new 4. In , a convertible model having the same engine was added to the range.

In April , substantial revisions were made to the 4. In , the final specification changes were made and the car was referred to as the Celebration model to celebrate the 60th year of Jaguar Cars. Celebration cars feature diamond turned wheels, Jaguar embossed seats and a wooden steering wheel. A number of XJS's were modified by coachbuilders Lynx to create a three-door shooting brake, marketed as the Lynx Eventer. Records suggest that 52 pre-facelift XJ-S, and 15 post-facelift XJS, were adapted, with 18 being left hand drive and 49 being right hand drive. The cars were sold as Lister-Jaguar and 90 customer cars in total were converted. The standard package included increased engine displacement to 7. The braking system had ventilated brake discs and were moved outward for better cooling and stability. The interior was also modified and now had Recaro racing bucket seats and a new steering wheel with optimised feedback. The engine was mated to a 5-speed Getrag manual transmission. The cars were fitted with inch wheels with wide Pirelli tyres measuring inch at the front and inch at the rear. Some customers further got their cars modified with the addition of the LeMans package. For , the "Group 44" racing team had a very successful season in Trans Am with a race car based on the actual production XJ-S chassis and running gear. The team won the series' drivers' championship cup for Bob Tullius but missed winning the manufacturer's title by two points only one Jaguar was competing in the Trans-Am series compared to many more Porsche entrants. In , a purpose-built tube-frame "silhouette" style XJS race car was constructed which greatly reduced the weight compared to the full production chassis car campaigned in This silhouette car had only the production car's roof panel as the sole piece of factory XJS sheetmetal on the car. Group 44 succeeded in again capturing the driver's championship for Bob Tullius and also captured the manufacturer's title as well, by entering Brian Fuerstenau driving the car at some venues to gain additional manufacturer's points for Jaguar. The silhouette car survived and has surfaced recently in the SVRA historic sports race series. The factory chassis race car is believed to still be in the hands of Group 44's Bob Tullius.
