Overview
The 2015 Jaguar XJ is a fullsize luxury sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $74,200. For that price, it mainly competes with the BMW 7-Series, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and the Audi A8. Between 4 trims, the 2015 Jaguar XJ offers 3 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.0L supercharged V6 engine making 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 470 horsepower-making 5.0L supercharged V8 engine. The same engine on the XJR versions induces 550 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque. All the engines are mated to an 8 speed automatic transmission.Â
The XJ reaches 60 MPH from zero in 7.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.1 seconds with the 5.0L Supercharged V8 engine and 4.1 seconds with high powered engine. Depending on the powertrain, the XJ can manage a combined fuel economy between 18 and 21 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 10 striking colors the British Racing Green comes in really pull you towards itself.Â
