Overall Rating
The 2015 Jaguar XJ takes a very British path in the market, in the sense that it is neither as conservative as its German counterpart nor as flamboyant as its Italian rivals.
The 2015 Jaguar XJ takes a very British path in the market, in the sense that it is neither as conservative as its German counterpart nor as flamboyant as its Italian rivals. The Jaguar XJ is non-conformist as it emphasizes effortless competence and pace along with providing luxurious interiors. Another impressive quality of the sedan lies in its exterior appeal and elegance.
It would be wise to opt for the Supercharged trim mainly because it is not as expensive as the XJR trim, but it includes a series of features that are better than the base trim. Additionally, the Supercharged trim is better suited with the Premium Rear Seat Package that can be easily customized and enhance the overall feel of the car.
