The 2013 Jaguar XJ has added a new base engine option of 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that is powerful and provides great overall performance while providing decent fuel economy and getting the base price down to around $70,000. The other two supercharged V8 engine options are the same as the previous year’s model. The interior gets great features as standard and provides a premium ride quality for the passengers.
If the base 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine would be enough for your needs, we would suggest you definitely go for the base trim. The Base trim also gets great standard features like bi-xenon headlights, adjustable throttle response and suspension, 19-inch wheels, and many more. But if you crave the V8 power then you could go for the mid Supercharged trim.
