5 reasons to buy the 2015 Jaguar XJ
1. Two powerful engine options
The 2015 Jaguar XJ is an elite sedan that boasts effortless competence and pace on every trim. On the XJ base and XJL Portfolio, you’ll get a supercharged 340-hp 3.0L V6 engine making 332 lb-ft of torque. To invigorate your driving experience, opt for an XJ or XJL Supercharged model to get a supercharged 470-hp 5.0L V8 engine that produces 424 lb-ft of torque and can make the zero-to-60 sprint in 4.9 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new). With either engine option, you’ll get an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (all-wheel drive is available on V6 models).
2. Agile handling
Want a full-size sedan that drives like a dream? The 2015 Jaguar XJ features strong yet lightweight aluminum construction for the utmost agility. With the XJ’s communicative steering, you’ll feel in control of the car on every turn. The self-leveling suspension offers a smooth and stable ride, and driver-selectable settings for the engine and transmission allow you to customize your driving experience. With such gracious road manners, you’ll want to take the Jag on every adventure, near and far.
3. Premium interior
The 2015 Jaguar XJ exudes luxury, with a high-end interior filled with premium leather surfaces, brilliant chrome finishes, and soothing blue ambient lighting. There are no rough edges here, with soft-touch dash and door surfaces, and soft-grain or semi-aniline leather seats that offer an indulgent aesthetic experience. You’ll love the panoramic, tinted glass roof that floods the cabin with natural light while still providing the utmost privacy. In the Jaguar XJ, you’ll be isolated from the outside world in complete comfort and style.
4. Seats with available massage functions
If you’re looking for a full-size sedan with high-end amenities, you’ll love the available massaging seats in the 2015 Jaguar XJ. The available massage programming has five settings in the front seats and three settings in the back, with adjustable intensity levels to suit every passenger. Don’t be surprised if this car becomes the preferred option for every drive with family and friends.
5. Choice of three premium sound systems
Every 2015 Jaguar XJ is equipped with a high-end Meridian™ audio system that boasts natural detail and ultra-low distortion. You’ll get a 14-speaker system on XJ base and XJL Portfolio trims, and a 20-speaker system with cabin correction and dynamic volume control on Supercharged trims. Want even more? A 26-speaker Meridian audio system, available on XJL trims, offers a personal musical experience for every passenger. With this system, microphones above each seat channel your crew’s voices through the speakers, adjusting music and speech volume to ensure clear conversation throughout the cabin.
