2008 Jaguar XJ revealed in Geneva

Those big shots who like chauffeur-driven limousines now have another good reason to visit Jaguar's show-rooms. The 2008 Jaguar XJ unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show offers business customers not only new styling but also another level of quality and technological advances. At least, Jaguar says so.







The face-lifted Jaguar XJ is offered in four basic trims -- XJ Executive, XJ Sovereign, XJ Sport Premium and the range-topping XJR sports limmo. The range of engines is also limited by only four motors including a 4.2-liter supercharged V8 that is installed on the Jaguar XJR.

Just like the latest Jaguar XK, the new XJ comes to the market with new side power vents that give it more energetic and purposeful look. The vehicle also sports lower body sills, a rear aero spoiler and a choice of huge 19-inch wheels.

Inside, the new XJ features heated front screen as standard, optional 'R' gearknob (standard on the XJR), greater leg room for the rear passengers, Bluetooth connectivity and all those little conveniences meant to make the new Jaguar XJ a better competitor to the latest Mercedes S-Class.
