Similar to other models previously released in XJ Series, 2009 Jaguar XJ also brims with tradition, style and character. Jag XJ strikes the right balance between luxurious comfort and driver involvement. Although the car may not be best suited to tackle tight canyon road, the ability of handling around-town corner is something that comes as a welcome surprise for the car. It is mostly intended for ferrying 4 passengers with opulent comfort and high speeds.

Long wheelbase of 2009 Jaguar XJ, despite its similarity with Audi A8 L and Mercedes S550, will feel smaller from behind its wheel. Its wide and low-slung cabin might be responsible for that. However, most of the credits should go to the rigid aluminum chassis of XJ. The chassis contributes to its curb weight, which is lighter than most of its competitors by 600 pounds.
