2011 Jaguar XJ L: An Instant Modern Classic

25.05.11

A naked, silence, six-celerity instinctive with Jaguar Serial Relay and steering in paddles is the only despatch on all models.  All variants are hind part-spur only.  The ultra-cold JaguarDrive selector, a delightful chrome boss that rises from the center soothe the weight you press the model keyless ignition button, is tranquilly to use and a adore to see. It never gets old.

There is no all-place whirl opportunity – at least not yet. That’s unique because all its competitors, the Mercedes S-Elegance, the Audi A8, the BMW 7-series, the Porsche Panamera and the Lexus LS all bid awd as an privilege or yardstick apparatus.  Jaguar leaves the bad suffer friction issues to the tremendous array of guideline electronic perseverance and adhesion switch nannies.

The root XJ chassis is primed for more than righteous the sybaritic, satin intimidate that you foresee in a Jaguar.  It’s well-sorted and you texture in handle in any driving up. The (to some degree) lightweight XJ L rockets from zero to 60 mph in only 5.4 seconds. Freeway spirit is painless.  When I slammed on the anti-engage brakes (no one was around), there was thimbleful nose juke-joint and no stink, simply Cyclopean stopping power.
