Front end has shades of Jaguar's XF
Jaguar Cars has officially unveiled the all-new XJ at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea, London, ending months of speculation about the shape and style of its eagerly awaited new luxury flagship.
Hosted by Jay Leno, one of the world's best-known chat show hosts and a renowned car enthusiast, the launch of the new Jaguar flagship was attended by an invited audience that included public figures, business leaders, celebrities and media, says Jaguar.
"These are truly exciting times for us at Jaguar. The new XJ is truly beautiful, exhilarating to drive, and with its bold, enlightened approach to design, it meets the challenges of our fast-changing world. It re-imagines the ultimate sporting luxury car," said Jaguar's managing director, Mike O'Driscoll, at the new model's launch.
Rear treatment is getting people talking!
You don't need PH to tell you the new car is a radical move away from the old XJ design, both outside where the new model's blacked-out C-pillar is already exciting much controversy, and inside where the new treatment brings an air of genuine opulence to the latest big cat.
