2013 Jaguar XJ Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Jaguar XJ:

Those air vents are large round chrome items, not dissimilar to those on a Bentley. They're a tactile joy and the sand-dune hump housing dominates the top of the dash. Everything from elbow height upwards is leather, wood or chrome - dominated by a striking 'Riva speedboat' line that frames the top of the dash.

-- CAR

This is a dramatic, coupe-like four-door sedan, with a notably bluff-like grille, a short front overhang, and a long tail.

What reviewers liked least about the Jaguar XJ:

The only jarring note, to our eyes, is a black plastic section on the C-pillars that looks like an afterthought, especially on light-colored vehicles.

-- Car and Driver

Best one-liner about the Jaguar XJ:

At last, a Jaguar XJ that doesn't resemble the one that came before. And before. And before.
