Jaguar’s top saloon offering, the XJ, continues largely unchanged for the 2014 model year in Europe and other parts of the world, sans some tech upgrades and comfort improvements
While the engine range, which includes the 237hp (240PS) 2.0-liter turbo petrol, 335hp (340PS) 3.0-liter V6 petrol, 271hp (275PS) 3.0-liter V6 diesel, and 5.0-liter V8 petrols putting out 380hp (385PS), 464hp (470PS), 503hp (510PS), and in the XJR, 542hp (550PS), remains the same, the base four-cylinder 2.0L engine now comes with Jaguar’s Intelligent Stop/Start system as standard.
Jaguar says the long-wheelbase models feature enhanced rear cabin luxury features for 2014, including twin ‘airline’ style reclining seats with massage function, increased headroom, fold-out business tables and a specially re-tuned rear suspension set-up for a smoother and more comfortable ride.
In addition, all models gain soft closing door technology, an enhanced entertainment system package featuring two hi-resolution touchscreens, and optional premium Meridian Reference Audio System with Conversation Assist, a new centre armrest that can be stowed in the upright position to allow the use of the centre seat, and newly available 18-inch Manra lightweight forged alloy wheels.
