Jaguar XJ Generations

For each major redesign, a vehicle is said to begin a new "generation."

The XJ is built on a light and strong all-aluminum structure. Three regular wheelbase trims are available; XJ, XJ Supercharged, and XJ Supersport. Three long wheelbase trims are available; XJL, XJL Supercharged, and XJL Supersport. Three variations of the new 5.0-liter V8 are available: a 385-hp naturally aspirated, a 470-hp supercharged, or a 510-hp supercharged. A six-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters sends power to the rear wheels. An adjustable air suspension is responsible for the XJ's impressive road handling abilities and luxurious ride. Safety features include dual front airbags, side curtain airbags, and front side-impact airbags. Anti-lock brakes, traction control, and electronic stability control are standard.

The following model years make up the most recent Jaguar XJ generations:

2003 - 2010 Jaguar XJ

Major changes included: 2003-present: Very few styling cues suggest that the XJ ever changed at all, but the third generation receives a cutting-edge aluminum body and a V8 in every trim. The 2008 refresh brought a new grill and subtle body accents. It is available in XJ8, XJ8l, XJ Vanden Plas, XJR, and XJ Super V8 trims.
