2013 Jaguar XJ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | This sporty, tailored theme continues with the shape of the 20-way-adjustable front seats. The A8's seats have even more adjustments, yet no matter how much you fiddle with them aren't nearly as form-fitting or as cosseting. The XJ's more precisely shaped, cushy (yet not at all mushy) buckets seem much more tailored to the human form. The space between their modestly sized but firm bolsters can be adjusted to provide more lateral support when this is called for. The only noteworthy shortcoming of the XJ's front seats: though the headrests can be manually adjusted fore-and-aft, even in their most rearward position these press a bit much against the back of my head. Your physique and experience may vary. The rear seats are similarly form-fitting, but without a center console to rob space. see full Jaguar XJ review |

As mentioned when discussing the driving position, the XJ's front seat doesn't feel nearly as roomy as those in the Audi and BMW. But it also feels sportier. What's your priority? see full Jaguar XJ review |

2013 Jaguar XJ Powertrain: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
In the XJ, all-wheel-drive is only offered with the new base engine, a 340-horsepower supercharged 3.0-liter V6. Peak horsepower is not an issue. In fact, the car is so quick once the engine passes 4,500 rpm (where it undergoes a dramatic character change) that very few potential owners should feel the need for more power. Pedal to the floor, 60 mph takes about six seconds. The snarl of the wide open V6 isn't quite as sweet as that of the V8s, but it's more engaging than the quieter but also blander-sounding boosted sixes in the 333-horsepower Audi A8 3.0T and 315-horsepower BMW 740. So, what's not to love? Well, the Jaguar V6 is surprisingly loud at idle, especially if you've got a window down or are outside the car. In casual driving this engine's power delivery is less smooth and linear than the others. The A8 3.0T's engine simply pulls like a freight train from low rpm on up, with no surges or lulls. And in the 740 you accelerate quickly with little in the way of sensation. Glance at the speedometer to realize that you're already at (or well above) your target speed. On paper the Audi engine suffers a slight peak torque deficit compared to the XJ's (325 vs. 333 lb-ft), but it feels torquier. In the official specs, the Audi's lower torque peak (2,900 vs. 3,500 rpm) provides some indication of this. But I also suspect that Audi has under-rated the engine. For luxury car duty, the XJ's new V6 isn't bad. Audi's and BMW's just deliver their greater low-end shove more quietly and evenly. For performance driving, though, the more dramatic and vocal Jaguar engine has an edge. see full Jaguar XJ review |
