The New Jaguar XJ

Jaguar Cars has confirmed the all-new XJ long-wheel base will be making its trade debut at Drive ’09.

As the new model has only just been seen by a lucky few, the chauffeur and private hire industries will be able to witness the ground-breaking big cat first hand at the event in September.

Officially on sale at the end of the year, the all-new XJ is the first car to feature the next-generation of Jaguar’s aerospace-inspired aluminium body architecture. It has been said the all-new XJ will introduce the highest standards of personal luxury and specification, including a panoramic glass roof.

Ian Callum Director of Design, commented; “The car is very modern, and it certainly meets up the expectations of people who understand design with a capital D, I have no doubt about that whatsoever.

“With this car I really do feel that I’ve taken almost thirty years of learning and put it into something that is very complete for me; and that’s taken a lot of discipline, a lot of pushing; on my part, on my design teams part, and the engineers. But I think we’ve achieved something very special indeed.”
