The 2011 Jaguar XJ






The 2011 Jaguar XJ

Cargo space is generous and roomy at 15.2 cubic feet. The lithe XJ weighs in at a mere 4,045 pounds. Being constructed out of aluminum keeps this car much lighter than other vehicles in its class. The top of the line XJ Supersport has a V8 that pumps out 510 hp and can zoom from zero to sixty in just 4.7 seconds.

The XJ model comes with a 5.0 Liter eight cylinder for 470 horsepower. The XJ model is equipped with an eight cylinder engine with a total output of 385 horsepower and 380 lb feet of torque. There are three trim levels for both; XJ, XJ Supercharged and XK Supersport. Automotive shoppers have the option of selecting from two different body styles; wheel base and regular. The XJ is a luxury sedan and goes head to head with the best of the best including the Mercedes S-Class, the Mercedes CLS class, the 7- series from BMW and the LS460 from Lexus.

The new headlights and swooping lines give the car and elegant and almost cat-like look. This updated version is sleek and modern looking. Previous models were a bit stuffy, old fashioned and not really that exciting, but the 2011 model is a whole different story. The XJ from Jaguar has had a reputation throughout the years as a prim and proper luxury vehicle with Old World styling.
