2010 Jaguar XJ

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:28:06 -0500

Jaguar's dated XJ design is finally getting a much needed overhaul for 2010 which sees the flagship sedan sharing the new Jaguar design language seen in the XF. The XJ will be available with three engine options based on Jaguar's 5.0 liter V8 which will range from a naturally aspirated 385 hp model to a high performance 510 HP model which has a 0-60 time of 4.7 seconds. On the interior you'll find the dash awash in wood and chrome as expected, but most notable is the "Virtual Instrument" panel which replaces the physical dials with three high def screens that change dynamically depending on your driving mode.
