    Exterior No comment! $ years old,still has the cutting edge looks! headturners and the length of the cars makes the people around think, a limo is around!

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features! try not to ask! if u ready to pay a billion rupee,its an obvious that the car is stuffed with hell lot of gizoms! 45 harman speakers,under the seats,inside the headrest,underthe dashboard etc. the space in the front seats might sometimes makes you forget that you are sitting in a v8 powered car instead makes you think flying an airbus a380(biggest plane in the world),huge dashboard gives that feeling of life living king size! the rear seats which concerns me the most, when i am back from my office, sitting in the car, even if i stretch my legs,it wont touch the front seats,both rear and the front seats are internally heated! but the lcd scree for the music system has dated like anything,still even after 4 years,it is a very small issue, but if u r lookn forward to buy an xj, please check out the 2014 s-class.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 5.0 v8 engine, i dont think you need any thing more to know about it, its tooo super responsive, the fuel economy of the car should be rated fair for its segment, around 6 kmpl in the city and 8 in the highway accoring to my driver and jaguar.

    Ride Quality & Handling The doors are quite noise cancelling, right after you shut the doors, you are cut off the world with nearly no noise of taxis, cycles and engine sound,even on the indian roads,you hardly feel any bumps on the road. I have driven my car for about 4000 - 5000 km, the suspension works perfect with nearly no roll,brakes are carbon cermic so is quite powerful but the car lags behind when you drive in jamed roads, its just too long and is very difficult to drive so i leave that to my experinced driver from jaguar.

    Final Words The jaguar xj is pure worth of your money,the combination of power,quality and comfort couldn't get any better than this! still is old and jaguar is planning to launch a facelift the very next year, in the mid 2014, it will be powered by 6.0 v10 and will chrun out 600 bhp and will be an hybrid engine. alternative:merc s-class (2014)

    Areas of improvement Needs refresment! needs facelift.

    Leg space!off! my legs are not long enough to touch the front seats,super v8 engine,mileage is fair,Not meant to be self driven,the car is too long for city drives
