Overview
The 2016 Jaguar XJ is a fullsize luxury sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $74,400. For that price, it mainly competes with the BMW 7 Series, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and the Audi A8L. Between 5 trims, the XJ offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.0L 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. Both engines are mated to an 8 speed automatic transmission. The XJ reaches 60 MPH from zero in 5.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 3.8 seconds with the 5.0L Supercharged V8 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 17 striking colors the Italian Racing Red comes in really pull you towards itself.
