2014 Jaguar XJ launched, now made in India


Jaguar announced the price of the locally manufactured Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel starting from INR 92.1 lakhs (ex-showroom Mumbai, Pre
Octroi). The XJ 3.0L Diesel will be available in two derivatives, the Premium Luxury and Portfolio.

Some of the new features include the upgraded rear seat comfort pack with three massage seat functions, increased rear headroom, electric rear side window blinds, LED reading lights, 25.9 cm (10.2) rear screens (Rear Seat Entertainment System), new rear business table and “conversation assist” features which basically reinforces a passenger’s voice through the car’s speakers so that the conversation is audible to everyone. This is made possible through tiny microphones that are located above each seat! Further, the new XJ also gets an updated version of the start-stop system wherein the company claims the engine now re-starts in less time as taken by a driver to move his right foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator!


The XJ is available with a choice of two engines. The 2.0 litre i4 Turbocharged petrol engine offers both efficiency and fuel economy while producing 240PS of max power and 340Nm torque and does 0-100km/h in only 7.5 seconds. The 3.0 Litre V6 Turbocharged diesel develops 275PS of power and 600Nm torque and sprints from 0-100km/h in just 6.4 seconds. Jaguar has ditched the 5.0 Supercharged Petrol for now and may introduce the in the future.
