What Edmunds Says
An all-aluminum body and high-tech air suspension combined with classic Jaguar styling give the XJ a fighting chance against its German rivals.
Pros
Supple ride quality, powerful V8 engines, roomy interior, more athletic than you might think.
Cons
Fussy interior controls, clumsy transmission shifter, CD changer is still in the trunk.
