Jaguar has launched its all-new, four-door XJ at Alfardan Premier Motors, member of Alfardan group and leading auto dealer in Doha.

“The new XJ is a thoroughly modern interpretation of the quintessential Jaguar,” said Ian Callum, Jaguar design director. “It is the most emphatic statement yet of Jaguar’s new design direction.”

The XJ includes an innovative new panoramic glass roof, enabling the car to have a lower, more streamlined roofline.

The all-new XJ's cabin offers four specification levels – luxury, premium luxury, portfolio and supersport – allowing the customer to tailor the car to suit their tastes of choice in colours, veneers and leathers not seen before in a Jaguar, said a statement.

The XJ benefits from the most advanced, powerful and efficient Jaguar powertrains ever. The XJ features a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine with 385 horsepower or a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 available in 470 and 510 horsepower versions.

Features such as air suspension, adaptive dynamics (continuously variable damping), active differential control and quick-ratio power steering deliver the blend of responsive, ride expected from a Jaguar, the statement added.

Inside the car there are advanced new technologies: 12.3-inch high-definition virtual instruments complement an innovative, dual-view technology 8-inch touch-screen that can project DVD movies or television programmes to the passenger while the driver views vehicle functions or follows satellite navigation.

Premium surround sound options include the top-of-the-range 1200W Bowers & Wilkins system, as well as advanced infotainment features like hard drive-based audio and navigation systems, and comprehensive connectivity for portable audio and video devices via the media hub.

The all-new XJ is constructed using Jaguar’s aerospace-inspired aluminium body technology, the XJ is lighter than its rivals by at least 150 kg which significantly improves performance, handling and economy, while delivering increased strength, refinement and safety.

“We’re delighted to have the All-New XJ in our market,” said Alan Whaley, general manager, Alfardan Premier Motors. “The Jaguar brand and its new design direction have witnessed a huge success in Qatar and we look forward to taking it further with the new XJ.”

Robin Colgan, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover Mena, said: “We are very excited about our all-new flagship which sets benchmarks in terms of design, performance and engineering.”

“Jaguar customers in this region look for luxury, individuality and performance and we’re certain the flagship XJ, which is truly beautiful and exhilarating to drive, will enjoy success here, just like the XK and XF,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
