JAGUAR XJ. The best, luxurious, fast

MORE IN THE CAR SHOWER, HE IMMEDIATELY IMPRESSED IMPRESSION TO ME - A BEAUTIFUL SILHOUETTE, CONTAINED COLOR WITH COLD FLARES, PREVIOUS BLIND. ... EVERYTHING SPEAKS ABOUT ITS CONFIDENCE, STRENGTH AND DYNAMICS. I SEEMS FALLED IN LOVE. THIS CAR MAY BECOME NOT JUST A MEANS OF MOVEMENT, BUT A REAL PARTNER.

This is a predator, not a pussy

The lightweight aluminum body gives the Jaguar excellent maneuverability and efficiency, while remaining unusually strong - the stiffness of the new model has increased by 60%, which naturally affected the safety and durability of the machine. Powerful engines allow it to accelerate to 100 km / h in 4.9-6.4 seconds, depending on type: the base XJ is equipped with a three-liter turbodiesel, with the lowest fuel consumption in its class - 6.8 liters per 100 km; 5-liter atmospheric gasoline engine with 385 hp; and engines with a supercharger with a capacity of 470 liters. with. and 510 liters. with.

Any of the engines is combined with a six-speed "automatic", which is a pleasure to drive - a smooth "cat" move, thanks to the low landing, extremely obedient, but without a sharp response to commands. The ZF transmission delivers lightning-fast gearshifts, helping optimize engine performance and fuel consumption by adjusting gearshift modes to suit your driving style, from economical to sporty. You can independently add rigidity to the ride by pressing a button with a checkered flag, activating the sport settings of the suspension, steering and accelerator pedal. But even with relatively large acceleration, as far as radars on local routes can allow, there is not even a hint of “trembling” in the “body”, and the rumbling of the motor remains as soft and calm.

Drive or relax?

The interior also did not disappoint - the interior trim with expensive varieties of wood and leather, a full-length panoramic glass roof and a 12.3-inch touch screen, a stylish gearshift washer, phosphorescent bluish lighting create a unique feeling that you are on board a modern luxury yacht. Everything speaks of the car belonging to that class of buyers, which by status is no longer supposed to sit behind the wheel.

What to do - pick up the “helm” or enjoy drinks from the back? Given that the optional XJ Rear Seat Comfort Pack (rear passenger comfort package) includes rear seats with adjustable backrest and lumbar support, a massage system, and head restraints with adjustable side parts. XJ rear seat passengers can not only listen to radio or music from an MP3 player or internal hard drive, but also watch TV shows and DVDs on 8-inch LCD monitors embedded in the front head restraints. The entertainment system includes a remote control with a touch screen and up to three sets of digital wireless headphones, each with its own controls.

The rear seat passenger can free up more legroom by pushing the front passenger seat forward with the touch of a button - everything for superiors .... But let's not forget that the Jaguar XJ, in spite of all its comfort, is still a “predator”, which, by its uniqueness, completely changes the opinion of a luxury car. It can be controlled by voice - the interactive voice control system is activated by pressing a button on the steering wheel. Just say the desired command, selecting it from the list displayed on the dashboard, and XJ immediately reacts to it.

The heart of the Jaguar (the AJ-V6 gasoline engine, the new III generation AJ-V6D diesel engine or the AJ-V8 gasoline engine) is the most advanced Jaguar ever made. Combining tremendous power and balance with exceptional efficiency, it guarantees that the new XJ will not leave indifferent even the most demanding owner. And in order to feel like a real owner of a "predator", you need to control its "instincts" yourself ...
