Jaguar XJ – Review

The luxury saloon vehicle known as the Jaguar XJ has been sold under the Jaguar luxury marque now for several years.

The Jaguar XJ was first unveiled in the late 1960s. It has served as the Jaguar flagship model vehicle now for the vast majority of the car’s production span, which continues to the present day. The Jaguar XJ was famously the last Jaguar saloon vehicle to have received input from Jaguar founder, Sir William Lyons.

The Jaguar XJ6, a car that utilized 2.8 L and 4.2 L straight six-cylinder versions of the esteemed Jaguar XK Configuration, was used as a replacement vehicle for most of Jaguar’s saloon automobiles, which in the 1960s had expanded to engulf four different ranges.

An up-market version of the vehicle was sold under the Daimler brand name. It was called the Daimler Soverign. The XJ name was taken from the automobile’s code name under development, which was Experimental Jaguar.

The Jaguar XJ6 was first introduced in late 1968. Daimler versions of the vehicle were launched the following year. The car was accompanied by a famous ad campaign featuring television commercials with Sir William, in which he called the car “the finest Jaguar ever.”
