2012 Jaguar XJ-Series
2012 Jaguar XJ-Series - The 2012 Jaguar XJ ranks 5 out of 12 Super Luxury Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 26 published reviews and test drives of the Jaguar XJ, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. With loads of standard features, a stunning design and powerful engine choices, test drivers say that the 2012 Jaguar XJ has a lot going for it. However, the XJ loses points for its fussy cabin electronics.
Reviewers say the 2012 Jaguar XJ is a bargain for super luxury car shoppers who seek ample power and a host of standard interior features. Performance is aided by its lightweight aluminum body, standard V8 engine and road-holding adaptive suspension that impress nearly all who drive it. And while the base XJ is no slouch, in Supercharged and Supersport trims the XJ can keep up with nearly anything on the road.
Some test drivers love the opulent surroundings inside the 2012 XJ, while others see room for improvement. Materials are mostly high-quality; some reviewers even call the interior stunning. But, one test driver comments that some small trim pieces look a little cheap and out of place, and that the radical interior styling is a departure when compared with flagship sedans like the Mercedes S-Class. The XJ’s seats are comfortable, but back seat legroom isn’t the best in regular-wheelbase models. Additionally, some taller drivers might want a little extra headroom.
