The Jaguar XJ holds its own with the best luxury cars in the world. It's beautiful and stately. It swaths its occupants in traditional British club-room luxury, with contrasting seat piping, lots of polished wood and deep-pile wool rugs, and it spares us the excessive gadgetry. Its rigid aluminum chassis and sophisticated suspension offer a smooth ride and good grip. The long-wheelbase versions offer more rear seat space without significant trade-offs in response or ease of handling. The XJ is attractively priced when compared to Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes.
