Jaguar XJ saloon
reviewed by Carbuyer

The latest XJ is Jaguar's all-new high-technology flagship. Not only is it the most distinctive looking road car the firm has ever designed, it's also more fun to drive than rivals from Mercedes and BMW. However, firm suspension means the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is more comfortable and offers more legroom in standard wheelbase specification. Three engines are available, two petrols and one diesel, all exceptionally powerful and quiet. All cars come loaded with luxury equipment.
