Drive Jaguar XJ since 2012 sedan

Jaguar XJ New: Jaguar-Rr!

As Sir Lyons himself said, the founder of Jaguar, every new car may not be like the previous one, the main thing is that it is beautiful and fast, like a jaguar. The new Jaguar XJ ideally corresponds to the slogan of the brand: grace, scope, agility.

Behind all the great brands, including car, there is someone else. And usually I provides the company with my own name, whether Chanel or Ferrari. The story of Jaguar turned out differently. William Lyons came up with the sonorous name SS (Swallow - Swallow Sidecars), but after the Second World War, SS began to sound too unscrupulous, and the brand continued its story under the name Jaguar.


The original name SS ...

... over time, it gave way to jaguar

No wonder it is believed that the name determines life. The jaguars turned out to be graceful, rapid and beautiful really alive. The motto of the brand was the iconic Grace-Space-Pace, that is, Grace-Izmas-Climb. No matter how beautiful the elegant and aristocratic S-thepe and X-Type are, no matter how fans admire them, it is impossible to wear the same skin forever. The new XK and XF outraged and shocked the world, the brand designers accused that they betrayed the style of Jaguar, flattered by sales revenues. But is this the goal of any automobile company? The old jaguars were good, but the laws of evolution are such that staying in place means moving back. The new design of the model line aimed to attract a new audience and he succeeded. Moreover, the Yaguarovites call new models a return to the roots.

In the end, did Lyons himself say that every new car could be unlike the previous one, the main thing is that it is beautiful and fast, like a jaguar?


The new Jaguar XJ is a beautiful car. And unlike most representatives of the class, it can afford to be not only black, but also blue, and green, and even dark red.

History has already changed, new models were replaced by new ones. And more recently, the new XJ. And the new Jaguar XJ is a beautiful car. And he remained Jaguar - more than.

The success story of Sir Lyons began with the bodies, and only then the founder of the brand began to create a chassis for the sake of his bodies. We will also start with the body. Despite his representative concept, the X-Jaja remained elegant and swift, although it became longer and wider. It does not press the mass, a lightweight aluminum body with a new power structure, which uses alloys based on magnesium and composite materials, allows you to achieve sports dynamics from the huge dimensions in the dimensions and gives an advantage in mass and rigidity.

What kind of quotes were found in the car: both the window line, like the Audi A6, and the food, like the Citroen C6, has passed nine circles of hell, and the features of Bentley, Maserati, Lancia and even Lancer X. Can you really leave designers at rest and Recognize that successful and elegant lines can afford all the beautiful cars? It's all about interpretation.

To compare the jaguar with the jaguar went so, but if a comparison with a wild cat who fell in front of an attacking jump on the front paws is so obvious, why argue with this? The bottom line is purposefully made ascending up precisely in order to give the machine the right similarity. Huge heavy food, perhaps the main subject of disputes. The panoramic glass leaves a small section of the roof not glazed, he is designed to symbolize the captain's bridge, from which the crew commander looks at the spaces extending ahead.

Nobody like cats can look down at those who are taller than growth from top to bottom. Jaguar XJ is faithful to its breed. Glory to Britain, he remained a snob, and at the same time there is no aggressiveness in his appearance. If the headlights are a mirror of the soul, and the headlights of X-jae always knew how to penetrate into the very soul, then you just have to look closely, and you can notice them in the depths of the All-New XJ gaze. From whatever angle you look at the car, Jaguar will look directly into your eyes. This is called the soul.

Your eyes are similar to the eyes of a cautious cat, the whole appearance of Yaguar suggests that this is an educated and aristocratic cat, but if anything, it can become pristinely wild and ready to attack rapidly and brutally. Left at the same time within the framework of nobility. This character, prompted by the appearance, manifests itself in motion. The car never imposes its temper, it is ready to be comfortable and leisurely, but you just have to give a command how a thoroughbred beast is rapidly breaking off and attacks kilometers, while remaining an obedient will of the trainer.


Jaguar XJ remained Snob. And at the same time, there is no aggressiveness in his appearance.

Beauty can afford everything, including being functional. Xenon headlights are not just beautiful, they allow you to see better at night than during the day, like a cat. The headlights have a sensor that determines the approximation of the oncoming car and automatically switches the high light to the near. The body of the machine with a smooth bottom has a frontal resistance coefficient of only 0.29. The silhouette not only resembles swift compartment and hatchbacks, but is also a full-fledged sedan with the expanse above the head of the rear passengers and a 520-liter trunk. At the same time, for the manufacture of the body, the secondaryly redesigned materials of the jaguar are used and takes care of nature, its initially.

Beauty and functionality are friends in the salon of the new XJ. The elegant central console looks stylish, while the main transmission controls, suspension modes, as well as the car menu are placed on it, from the audio system to navigation. In the center of the dashboard, between two oval air intakes, there were a classic watch with a blue dial.

The issue with devices is unusually resolved in Jaguar. At the wheel, a display with a resolution of 614 400 pixels is hidden, on which, when the ignition is turned on, virtual devices with a classic design are loomed. This solution allows you to display the current information on the instrument panel, for example, the indications of the navigation system, service messages, transmission, traffic mode or menu. The arrows of the speedometer and tachometer not only beautifully highlight the numbers, near which are located, but also allows the driver to navigate the speed or number of revolutions faster.

Of course, in XJ there are ports for I-POD, Bluetooth, sockets, sensory sensors in the glove box and lightning lighting with the cabin, reacting to the movement of the hands, and much more in the mirrors of tracking dead zones. In the parking lot, viewing cameras help.

The driver’s seat and the steering wheel have a dozen adjustment ranges, which even makes you get confused in the variety of ideal landing options, and functions such as heating, ventilation and massage will not allow you to get tired on the road if it is generally possible in such seats.

The main pride of the Jaguarovites is the Bowers and Wilkins audio system with a capacity of 1200 W, which adjusts the sound, analyzing 54,000 parameters for verifying sound quality from the position of the seats to changing the sound of the engine. There are special air layers in the doorway, which allows the columns to sound, at home at the owner of the jaguar. An analog audio system for the home will cost thousands of $ 30. Before traveling for journalists to the car’s hard drive and connected iPods, they pumped classical music, Pink Floyd, Prodigy, which allowed to fully evaluate the inimitable sound of the system.

Jaguar does not give an unambiguous answer to the question for whom is this car for a driver or for a passenger. He is equally good in both hypostasis. And if on weekdays the owner of the XJ can move with maximum comfort in traffic jams in a spacious rear seat, admiring the panoramic hatch to the world, separated from it with the charisma of the representative car, then he can take the key, get behind the wheel and go play tennis or ride On a yacht, or even just rush with a breeze along winding suburban roads or wide high -speed autobahns. Even in Moscow, you can enjoy driving this machine, so noble and just the suspension straightens out with the realities of Russian roads. The only drawback that cannot be silent about, the lack of adjusting the backs of the rear seats. However, as the company representatives reported, they are not only in the first samples, in subsequent models there will be both back adjustments, and monitors built into the backs of the front seats, and the control panel for them.

The car is offered with three types of engines. The most calm, 3.0-liter diesel V6, develops 275 hp. And at the same time it does not annoy either noise or vibrations. 80 % of the maximum torque are reached at 1000 rpm. The second option atmospheric gasoline V8 with a volume of 5.0 liters and a capacity of 385 hp. And, finally, the most powerful V8 gasoline V8 with turbochargers, which can develop 470 and 510 hp.

The car has three traffic modes: standard, winter and dynamic, changing suspension settings, steering wheel and other machine systems, as well as a renewal shade

The six -speed ZF transmission is best in the world to switch the programs quickly and smoothly. The transmission can be controlled using a convenient Jaguar Drive Selector washer. The car has three traffic modes: standard, winter and dynamic, changing suspension settings, steering wheel and other machine systems, as well as a shade of illumination of devices. In sports mode, you can switch the programs by hand, using steering wheel petals, but it is unlikely that you will do it faster than the car itself. The stabilization system, if desired, can turn off the jaguar will allow you to step a little.

You can talk a lot about innovative technologies, functionality and capabilities of engines, transmission, shock absorber adjustment systems and tracking the position of the wheels, the angle of steering and acceleration, reduced gear ratios of the steering, aluminum body, weight, aerodynamics but I do not want. All this can be gleaned in the lists of technical characteristics. The undoubted advantage of those brands behind which is originally the personality of the Creator, and not the marketer of the mass market, is that they give emotions. And everyone has their own emotions.

Yes, on the road the wild cat turned out to be as noble and at the same time impudent as externally. She is invariably obedient to the driver, but at the same time she is always ready to throw out the controlled aggression. Jaguar does not impose his character, he leaves the driver to decide how to go slowly and solid or swiftly and aggressively, while in any case remaining within the framework of comfort, whether 60 or 260 km/h. Jaguar, like a real representative of the cat breed, can step gracefully and leisurely, but maybe, crushing a little on the hind legs before the jump, rush forward in a second, reaching 100 km/h in 5-6 seconds.

Even the adventurers from the press did not blame the roads: despite their power and cocked, the most precise reactions, the car does not provoke thoughtless dashing. She is ready, if necessary, jumping over any barriers, but reckless jerks and entering turns to the limit of unnecessary folly. This is confirmed by the noble roar of the engine that makes his way to trembling.

That is why the ideality of Jaguar XJ cannot be called a lack of character. Like any cat, he knows his price.
