The Jaguar XJ is powered by a 3.0-liter Supercharged Unleaded V-6 engine which is the reason behind the sporty nature of the car. It covers a distance of 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds which is impressive and with a top speed of 186mph, the car is a dream for drivers. The 8-speed automatic engine is powered by 340hp. Getting these engine qualities at such a price is favorable. The engine features make Jaguar easier to drive on the highways.

The Jaguar XJ faces tough competition from Mercedes-Benz which has a 362hp engine. But the fact is that the Benz is $14,500 costlier than the Jaguar. Other cars like the BMW 740i and the Audi A8 are completely outclassed by Jaguar's engine.
The Jaguar XJ signifies excellence and flaw in every drive. It lives up to its sporty reputation with great acceleration and speed. As mentioned before, with a top speed of 186mph, Jaguar's engine provides it a license to go extreme. The highway drives on full-throttle are something which cannot be missed.

The speed of Jaguar XJ is similar to that of its competitors. All the rivals lacked behind the Jaguar XJ for a high top speed of 186 mph which no other competitor could outshine. Only the Audi A8L lacks behind the other three rivals by taking 5.5 seconds to complete the 60 mph run but manages to score the first position in the quarter-mile run.
The Jaguar XJ has a good combination of front and rear brakes. According to its weight and the wheelbase, the braking system in Jaguar is just perfect for the drivers. High speed allows it to drop to 0mph just a little late than the other cars, but light-weight brakes give it a superb ride.

The other competitors also post nearly the same figures in the braking department, so there is much to be excited about. The BMW though is clearly the champion here. The brakes in the 2019 Jaguar XJ weigh 3891lbs and the speed can come down from 60-0mph at a distance of 122 feet.
The Jaguar XJ lacks a little in the fuel economy section. Despite its bulky engine and 4.5-inch wheelbase, it gives an average fuel economy in both the cities and the highways. The drive experience is certainly great but the customers may have to empty some part of their pockets on the fuel.

The volume inside Jaguar XJ is a little less than all the other sedans. This is understood as XJ has left behind the classy-sedan look and has adapted a sporty appearance in the market. The air vents resemble a circular shape and at a first glance, you would find it to be inspired by aircraft. Even the forward visibility from the cabin is good.Â
The interior design is a positive point for all XJ models of Jaguar. Housing jet-like air vents and a thin 12.3 film transistor instrument panel along with a low set dashboard give it an all-around different look from that of old sedans. The XJ interior is stunning, but some detailing lacks solidity. The seats are comfortable up front and the back seats come with adjustable cushions which are a great asset for a long ride. The tremendous interior also contains:
There are not many but very essential new technical areas inside the Jaguar XJ. The 10-inch center screen has replaced the previous 8-inch screen. The infotainment unit has now been upgraded with enhanced graphics and quite a lot of available features. Standard features comprise a Navigation System, Bluetooth connectivity, and SiriusXM. Alongside the mentioned features there comes a long list of infotainment options that are readily available with the 2018 Jaguar XJ Sedan. Some of them are:
It should be kept in mind that the XJ is a smaller car than the BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz in length and breadth. One great benefit even after that is the cargo volume. The cargo of Jaguar is spacious and can hold a great deal of baggage. The longer cars like BMW and Mercedes-Benz have bigger cargos but the Jaguar still beats the Audi A8 L, even after being a shorter car in length.

One of the best examples of cargo space can be seen in the case of the BMW 7 Series with the segment-leading space of 18.2 cu-ft. Its German counterpart the Mercedes-Benz S 450 Sedan occupies the second position with a storage capacity of 16.3 cu-ft. The Jaguar XJ though being a large sedan misses out on the cargo space and lands up being the lowest in terms of offering cargo space.
The new XJ is light-weighted which allows it to move swiftly and turn swiftly too. It has a tremendous ground clearance of 6.3 inches which is unbeatable. Less length and more width give it volume and comfort to the passengers. It has a wheelbase of 119.4 inches which is due to its small size in comparison to other sedans.

The other competitors have more length and a higher wheelbase. The BMW 7 Series, for instance, has a great wheelbase of 126.4 inches. This gives tough competition to the Jaguar in the market. The stylish exterior and sleek looks make Jaguar a car to be preserved for the eyes. The sporty adaptation has given an overall change to the exterior. The new LED headlamps give the sedan a Sharp Look and add to the visibility of the Car. Some other standout exterior features are as follows:
Neither the IIHS nor the NHTSA have performed crash tests on the 2018 Jaguar XJ. For the makers of the Jaguar, safety is the primary concern. The producers have added numerous features to make the Jaguar XJ a safe machine. It is a blend of an aggressive speed and exterior with a classy interior with myriad innovations. The Jaguar perfectly sets a paragon for the new brand sedans. It has great safety features installed in it which makes it a safe car for the passengers.
The BMW 7 Series forms a perfect and the toughest competitor for the Jaguar. It is a bigger sedan with a greater wheelbase, fuel economy, and acceleration. Even after that, it cannot beat the Jaguar on the most effective basis of the engine. BMW's engine is 320hp as compared to Jaguar's 340hp. A better ground clearance gives Jaguar another superiority over the BMW. The better price plays a key role too.
The Audi A8 L proves to be of no match for the Jaguar. Better engine, speed, ground clearance, cargo volume, and better price help the Jaguar to completely outclass the Audi.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has a better engine than the Jaguar, but it's big size and heavy installments make it a bulky car in comparison to the swiftness and acceleration of the Jaguar. The Mercedes is a good classy sedan, but Jaguar combines both sporty and classy.
The makers of Jaguar XJ have amassed a collection of the best cars. The beautiful and building blocks of style are in this car. It has changed our mindset for sedans in a better way. The technologically advanced interiors look like the parts that have been borrowed from a jewelry box. The paradigm of excellence combined with a non-reprehensible style makes Jaguar XJ a great model for every sedan lover in the country. The efficiency of the car on the road is spellbinding and this magical touch definitely makes Jaguar a giant in the car market.
