Full 2014 Jaguar XJ Review
What's New for 2014
For 2014, the new Jaguar XJR replaces the Supersport trim level, while a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine replaces the previous V8 in the XJL Portfolio model. More subtle refinements include soft-door close on all models, additional soft-touch dash and door surfaces, enhanced seat massage and an optional premium audio system. The high-luxury Ultimate trim level is discontinued, as are, sadly, wood tray tables for rear seat passengers.
Introduction
Germany is bound to be well represented in your search for an elite full-size luxury sedan. Each of its entries offers the utmost in craftsmanship, technology and cutting-edge engineering, which is exactly what you'd expect from the nation that pioneered the 21st-century luxury automobile. However, these Teutonic luxury sedans are so often missing something: character. For that, you must make your way across the North Sea to England and the 2014 Jaguar XJ.
The XJ offers uniquely eye-catching style, a high-fashion interior and a driving experience that's more sport sedan than limousine. It's as alive and dynamic as its competitors are cold and calculating. A lightweight aluminum body helps sets the XJ apart from its heaviest competitors (which sometimes outweigh it by 400-600 pounds) and gives it handling prowess that befits its namesake. The upshot is that you'll feel more like a driver and less like a chauffeur when you're behind the wheel of this Jaguar. The fact that the XJ typically doesn't sell in the same numbers as its rivals also gives it an air of exclusivity.
