Jaguar XJ facelift launched at Rs 98.03 lakh

Jaguar has launched the facelifted XJ luxury sedan in India starting at Rs 98.03 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai) for the base Premium Luxury trim. The car is available in two trim levels – Premium Luxury and Portfolio.

In terms of styling changes, the facelifted XJ gets a redesigned grille, new all-LED headlamps, revised LED tail-lamps and tweaked bumpers.

Inside, the facelifted XJ gets an all-digital instrument cluster with reworked graphics, JLR’s InControl Touch Pro infotainment system, perforated leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats with massage function, airplane style reclining rear seats with massage function and a panoramic sunroof.

In terms of features, the facelifted XJ comes equipped with a rear-seat entertainment package with individual displays, a ‘front seat away function’ that allows the rear occupant move the front passenger seat forward, folding tables, deployable foot rests and electric blinds. Furthermore, the facelifted XJ also comes equipped with a  825W, 20-speaker Meridian audio system.

Mechanically, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine remains unchanged and continues to develop 237bhp while the 3.0-litre diesel has been updated and now develops 296bhp as against 271bhp of the pre-facelifted model. However, the option of the petrol engine is only available on the Portfolio trim.

The car also comes equipped with adaptive air suspension and Jaguar’s All Surface Progress Control which acts as a low-speed cruise control to assist the driver in low-traction situations by handling the throttle input to provide optimum traction.

The facelifted XJ will be locally assembled at JLR's facility in Pune, and rivals the likes of the Mercedes S-class, BMW 7-series and the Audi A8.
