The reviews that suggest problems are inconsistent with my own personal experience. My 2011 replaced a 2008 BMW 750Li, and I currently own the Jaguar and a Mercedes GLS. Hands down the Jaguar has provided the most rewarding ownership experience. Out-of-pocket expenses other than annual scheduled maintenance, a new set of tires and a replacement battery is approximately $350.00 for a locking motor. That's 8 1/2 years and 102,000 miles. Apart from its having a bit more road noise than the 2008 BMW and an infuriatingly large and heavy keyless entry/ignition fob (both resolved in later versions), this car has delivered more satisfaction than any other I have ever owned. I have been waiting for its replacement, only to find it's not going to be replaced as a gasoline powered vehicle. Because of that and only because of that I have ordered a 2020 BMW 750. The MPG rating below is based on my driving pattern, which is 70% highway driving.

We only have 3,000 miles on our SJL but, so far, we are really pleased. Performance is fine. Rear seat legroom is exceptional. With the exception of what appear to be overly wide gaps at fenders, hood, trunk lid, etc. the build quality seems excellent. Just a few minor niggles: The rear cup holders are positioned in a way that makes them virtually unusable. The wood grain on the front doors does not match that across the dash (under the windshield), there is no dead pedal and the electronic responses (start-stop button, for example) is way too slow. Ride is a little harsh. Standard radio is great! Both the transmission and engine are A-OK! And the value, overall, is outstanding.

I have have had the privlidge of owning many luxury cars. BMW's, Benz, and Jaguars. This car is superior in every way to its predecessors and to its competition. It sets the bar very high for the next generation of luxury performance autos.

What a refreshing example of a brand! The old XJ was tired (but reliable) and needed an update. Just left the car wash and felt sorry for the Panamera next to me! An extra $30,000 for a four seater that doesn't know if it is a sedan or not. Haven't seen a breakout car since the 2005 Chrysler 300 till this. Should be the luxury Car of the Year. Front row car at five star restaurants. Move over Audi, BMW & Mercedes.
the Jag finally makes the leap into 21st century

was in the market to replace my 06 Range Rover Sport with a new supercharged one when my wife stumbled across the Jag XJ. we both loved the look and decided to test drive it. Once I sat in it I was mesmerized, once I drove it I was Sold. had it for a week. I would have never considered the a Jag before ( old people car). but this new car puts the S550, 750Li, Audi A8 to shame with looks and performance. Car&Driver tested it at 4.4 sec 0-60 and lists its competitors as S63, Maserati Quatroporte, Porsche Panamera Turbo, all of which cost 40k more than the Jag. love the stares and compliments. very poorly advertised. out since 2010, did not know it existed. the Jag for the young.
