The XJL is one of the most striking designs on the road. when one flies by you, you notice. with S Class and 7 Series everywhere, seeing an XJL is a treat.

Thumbs up if you went straight to Auto Trader after watching this!!

I leased a new XJ in 2015 for 3 years and I was 34-35 at the time. One of the nicest cars I have had. No issues in 3-4 years, basic service and returned my lease without issue. I had a preowned S-Class before which is often the benchmark for this segment and loved both cars. I would say to ignore the mainstream sentiment and opinions on these type of cars....it is often passed on by people who have barely sat, let alone driven the car. Just discovered your channel btw, great reviews and content.

I have had this car since Mathew at High Peak, sold me the XJL in 2019. I have driven Lexus LS and Mercs - Bentley's. This car is just so refreshing to be in, very powerful more like V8. You just sit back and enjoy life. One of the best.

everytime i see the rear of this car it just makes me go wow

[davidrussell]

I was not a big fan of the new XJ when it first came out but I slowly changed my opinion of it to the point where I bought an XJL Portfolio model. It is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned and love everything about it. I did have an intercooler replaced but other than that it has been very reliable and is a joy to drive.

As a avid Jaguar enthusiast, who still owns the legendary X 300 model ( mine is a 1996 Jaguar Xj Vanden Plas), I will say definitely worth to buy the featured Jag in this video. Just like the X 300 took Jaguar into the 1990s with its sleek design, this car is worth every penny. I am proud that my old cat still holds its British legendary pedigree of true Jaguar craftsmanship. My engine 4.0 Inline 6 ( AJ 16) is pushing almost 300, 000 original miles. This is the best car I ever owned and, I am looking forward to keep buying more future classic Jaguar models. Did I say that my Jag is my daily driver? Yes it is, and I am proud to drive it every day.

I was one of those people, that was miffed over the new design direction. Over the past decade, they’ve grown on me, and now I think they are beautiful, distinctive, and still fresh and modern.

Jaguar took a big risk, radically transforming an iconic model, and the gamble paid off, brilliantly.

And yes, I do want one.

I have had three of these and currently own a 18 plate Loire Blue Autobiography. Whilst only 33, 000 miles it has been faultless.The interior, finished in Ivory, is simply streets ahead of any rivals as well as being timeless. As for power the 3.0 diesel rivals my XK 5.0. As for its size it is a large car but when driving it's feels compact and nimble. Every gadget you could hope for, especially in the Autobiography, other than Apple car play. The 3G connection for traffic data is my only frustration with 3G being phased out and JLR not offering any solution. Fuel consumption for such a large car is amazing and 50 mpg on a run is easily achievable and 35 plus around town. Such a change to the blandness of the S Class, 7 Series, A8 and the Lexus GS. Oh; and did I mention that interior!

[nickdoughty]

Love my XJL - concur with everything in this review. Acceleration from the diesel is brutal but got 59.9mpg on a motorway run once. No faults after seven years either!!

[hashemjamalzadeh]

Love the new jag. Bought a 12 plate in 2016 and a part from suspension arms which needed changing once a year, never gave me no trouble. Had that for 3 years and enjoyed every mile of driving it. I then moved to another car for a year but I felt something was missing in my life so last month I bought another one 18 plate and god I love it. Best decision I ever made and would definitely recommend it.

[tonyhone]

Hi just wanted to say thanks again for a great video on the XJ. I have had mine for two years now, same as the one on your test drive. As you say it certainly turns heads every where we go. Drove to south of France in August 2019, it averaged 56 mpg. "I LOVE It" Not one issue with it, very reliable.
Keep up the good work!

[GavinJamesDrake]

This was my wedding car. Absolutely love it.

[jeztyler]

We have 2 silver XJ L (2015/17) in our fleet at work, great car to drive, handles well and plenty of power. Really stands out from crowd compared to our Mercedes as there’s not that many about.

[hoghog]

Love your style of reviews - and this video helped persuade my wife to let me buy one (2016 Portfolio), and it really is a fantastic car. Your point about not needing validation from a car is spot on, no one looks at me in this and thinks "hey he's cool/has money" etc, it just puts a smile on my face driving it and that is all that matters to me. Keep up the great vidoes! Cheers.

[NubletPie]

Totally agree, this and the XF are what saved Jaguar - classy, imposing and brutish modern style.

[craigdiamondbrite]

Congratulations on reaching 10k, you deserve it as your reviews are awesome

[AndySnap]

I went to the Jag' Collection at the British Motor Museum today, by co-incidence. What an amazing sight. I get Jags now. XJ, yes please...

[Luupopi]

I see these used for around 6000-8000€ in excellent condition. They have a lot of miles of course but the owners of these vehicles really take good care of them. They look brand new after 14 years.

[deanholloway]

Had one of these in a body shop I used to work in for minor bumper repair and someone noticed the mileage which we all found stunning because it ran absolutely fine with no smoking and quietly. Don't know the status of the car service wise etc but paint work was original, slightly dull and quite chipped with no rust. The mileage, 274000.
