Jaguar XJ gets more power and tech - Top Gear
Ladies, gents and wannabe high-end crims: this is your new Jaguar XJ . Jag’s largest saloon has had its biggest update since its 2010 introduction, with more of the good stuff, namely power and technology. Cosmetic changes have been limited to fancy new LED light patterns, which is good: to our eyes at least, this is the best and boldest looking limo-saloon on sale, even after five years on sale. The tech highlights of the new car include updated infotainment controls – righting one of the XJ’s most offensive wrongs – which sit at the human finger end of a 1,300 watt, 26-speaker stereo. Quite where 26 speakers fit and how necessary they all are is surely trivialised by what exceedingly good golf club bragging rights they serve up. ‘All-Surface Progress Control’ is a clunky name for some useful, Land Rover developed tech that... Four-wheel drive is optional with some engines, while electric power steering is standard on all XJs. The replacement of feelsome old hydraulic racks with light, efficient electric alternatives has upset purists in many a car of late, but in something big like the XJ, it ought to be less of an issue.
