Overview
The 2017 Jaguar XJ is a fullsize 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 Sedan, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan, and the Audi A8 L Sedan. Between 3 trims, the XJ offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.0L supercharged V6 engine capable of 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 4.9 seconds with the V8 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the XJ can manage a combined fuel economy of between 18 and 21 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 17 striking colors the XJ comes in really pull you towards itself.
