What Edmunds Says
The XJ8 is authentically Jaguar: big outside, small inside, filled with supple leather and lustrous wood, but somewhat outdated. Wait a year for a far more technologically advanced flagship Jaguar sedan to fill its shoes.
Pros
Powerful supercharged V8 engine, aggressive yet seductive look, sport-tuned suspension.
Cons
Classic British interior might be too cramped for some people, aged chassis and structure.
