West drive Jaguar XJ since 2009 sedan

The most expensive Jaguar reached Russia

In Moscow, the presentation of the new flagship of the legendary British brand Jaguar XJ was held. Perhaps this is one of the most revolutionary cars with a predator on the emblem for many years XJ was the embodiment of conservatism, but a rather modern filling was hidden under the traditional elegant body. Now everything is different, Jaguar has become different.
No, the jag technology is not deprived, but the design has nothing to do with its predecessors. Now XJ is made in the same style with the sedan XF. A similar dynamic profile, spectacular details. But fans of classic jaguars will grumble for a long time while getting used to it.
But lovers of high technology will be satisfied. The body is mainly from aluminum, with a splash of magnesium alloys and composite materials. This made it possible to preserve the mass of the machine at the level of 1800-1915 kilograms (depending on the modification) less than that of any of the competitors!
This is especially valuable when you consider that the new XJ is just huge, even in the short -drawn version, it rolls over for 5.1 meters. The elongated base increases the dimensions to 5.247 meters. So the dynamics and handling of Jaguar XJ should be at least at the level of class leaders.
The engines are already known by the XF model. The base has become a 3-liter turbodiesel, which develops 275 forces and 600 Newton of torque. He is able to disperse a hefty sedan 6.4 seconds to hundreds, and as a result, the speedometer shooter will be reproached with electronic 250 km/h. At the same time, the consumption in the city cycle is promised at the level of 9.6 liters per 100 kilometers.
Further large gasoline V8. 5 liters, 385 horses. Acceleration of 0-100 is reduced to 5.7 seconds, but the consumption grows almost half in the city of such a jaguar with poor appetite does not suffer and will absorb at least 17 liters per hundred miles.
Well, at the top of the same V8, but already with a mechanical supercharger and in two versions. The one that is simpler gives 470 hp. and 575 Nm, and the most powerful version can boast already 510 hp. and 625 Nm. Sprint 0-100 compressor Jaguar XJ runs in 4.9 seconds. The maximum speed is all the same 250 km/h.
Any of Jaguar XJ is equipped with a 6-speed automatic. In addition, a panoramic glass roof is now included in standard equipment. However, for XJ, the phrase is hardly applicable basic equipment. Xenon headlights, parking lots in a circle, adaptive suspension, heating all seats, skin decoration, heated steering wheel, a contactless access system and even a virtual dashboard with a touch screen, navigation, as well as 600-watt music with 14 speakers, even diesel can boast of all this. XJ Premium Luxury for 3 million 555 thousand rubles.
Long-drawn versions are standardly equipped with four-zone climate control and sunscreen, and compressor Jaguar XJ, available only in Portfolio and Supersport, additionally receive the rear differential with electronic control, successfully running up on XFR and XKR.
More expensive configurations also include rear view camera, front and rear seats ventilation, TV and 1200-watt Bowers & Wilkins audio system with DVD player. And the most expensive Jaguar XJ is a long -play compressor Supersport for 5 million 915 thousand. He only surpassed the Jaguar XKR convertible by 5 thousand, becoming the flagship of the brand not only in size.
As expected in the representative class, for the Jaguar XJ you can choose one of the many coloring options, decoration of a chic interior (several wood and skin species, carbon fiber) and wheel discs. Dealers are already accepting orders for a new product, and the first living XJ will appear on Russian roads in the spring. Long wait? But you will not have to lament about the lack of all -wheel drive versions.
