When an innovative all-aluminum Jaguar XJ luxury saloon range was launched in 2003, is a lightweight body helped the car set new standards in handling, precision and refinement. Aluminum monocoque design is 60% stiffer and 40% lighter than the model it replaced and these major improvements translate benefits to real customers. Its advanced construction means that even if the long-wheelbase XJ model is lighter than many of its key competitors' standard wheelbase platforms. Thank you, that the weight of the car can accelerate faster, stop more quickly and turn more purposefully. And you get all this without compromising in other areas, the new XJ range also benefits from excellent fuel economy and range, greater rigidity and safety, as well as guidance and exceptional comfort.
Since 2003 the range has been further improved the long version, new main engines, as the 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 diesel, and advanced technology, such as acoustic laminated glass, active engine mounts and Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS ). CATS is used to ensure an excellent body control, refinement and management. The system constantly monitors the XJ's lightweight suspension and air springs to provide comfort while driving and in total control and responsiveness when called for automatically lowering the suspension, and equalization. The result is a spectacular high-speed stability and improved aerodynamic efficiency when the XJ to perform.
A group of petrol and diesel technology engines power the 2008 XJ range. The highly acclaimed 204bhp (DIN) 2.7-liter twin-turbo diesel V6 offers outstanding performance and economy, the 240bhp (DIN) 3.0-liter V6 petrol an ideal blend of power and refinement, while the powerful 300 hp (DIN) 4.2-liter V8 and 400bhp (DIN) supercharged equivalent provide the seamless drive and torque you would expect from a Europe capable of high-end to reach 60 mph in just five seconds Jaguar.
A six-speed automatic transmission offers smooth shifting and amazing fast and provides even further weight loss thanks to its compact design. Its ability to handle the high torque of the motor output XJ range also allows the gearbox to use higher gears more effectively, helping to reduce fuel consumption further. Class of advanced technology such as acoustic damping system (IAD) guarantee exceptional levels of refinement and a blissfully quiet cabin. IAD uses special acoustic absorbing materials and seals between the hood and the engine compartment to dramatically reduce engine noise. Acoustic laminated glass then further reduce noise intrusion, while diesel XJS even enjoy electronically controlled active engine mounts, which absorbs 90% of engine vibration at idle.
