Jaguar XJ 2008 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The XJ remains the luxury flagship of the Jaguar range. It is a truly handsome large car, with elegant lines rather than the random curves of its German rivals. The XJ-Series comes in regular and long-wheelbase versions, depending on model. While the sportier option would be the standard-wheelbase models, the long-wheelbase models offer enough rear-seat room to recline and watch a movie while having lunch on a tray. The Jaguar XJ8 was launched as an all-new model for 2003, along with the high-performance XJR, offering superior ride and handling to their predecessors thanks to their rigid lightweight aluminium structure and computer-controlled suspension. Other model variations include the XJ6, the XJ8 Sovereign and the Super V8. Engines include the 3.0-litre V6, the 3.6-litre V6, the 4.2-litre V8 and the supercharged 4.2-litre V8, all mated to a six-speed automatic. Standard are leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, alloy wheels, and an eight-speaker stereo with CD player. Available features include self-leveling air suspension, adaptive suspension damping, dynamic stability control, xenon headlamps, navigation, power-adjustable foot pedals, an electronic parking brake, and reverse park assist. Safety features standard on all models include frontal, side-impact and side-curtain airbags, ABS brakes and electronic stability control. The cars were facelifted in 2007 with a mildly-new front end.
