The Interiors get detailing such as wood veneer crafted from ebony that form into a Herringbone pattern with mirror image upper and lower halves, separated by a strip of piano black veneer.
 
The dashboard-mounted clock also has special detailing which is unique to the XJ Ultimate. Three leather surfaces are on offer - Jet on Jet, Ivory seats and lower surfaces with either Mineral or Bordeaux uppers. The standard rear bench has been replaced with two bucket seats with massage function. There is a also champagne chiller and flutes between the seats. It comes fitted with two eight-inch hi-resolution screens placed at the back of the front seat headrests.
