Car Tech - 2013 Jaguar XJ AWD

A modern drivetrain that doesn't take away from the soulful luxury of a Jaguar.

Man I love that color leather. It's old school money. My W124 has a color pretty close to that.

The XJ may not be pretty for everyone, but it is damn Elegant

pick this one up anyday over a soulless beemer. this car quaint and classy

[planemadheathrow]

Yes it's a Land Rover, it's made in the same factory and owned by the same company

I LOVE the LCD panel for gauges. I hope all cars come with them standard by the next few years.

Also I know that it depends on the tires and the weather condition, but Motor Trend which usually has slower times got 5.3 seconds to 60 in their 2013 Jaguar XJL awd 3.0. Which is faster than the 5.0, and gets better gas mileage, that 5.0 though is what I had and the sound is intoxicating

Always love your reviews but that color leather is classic, much better than your Basic Black even though the XJ has nice white piping.

This has got to be the most honest review of the XJ on the net. Great job

O.K. folks. Don't take Mr. Cooley's comments too personally. He gripes equally about all 1000 or so cars he has reviewed, from the Bugatti Veyron to the Chevrolet Spark. In his review of the Jaguar XJR, he said "I love these supercharged Jag V8s". He is a big fan of British motoring, heck, he's reviewed 5 Bentleys recently. They don't lend super high end luxury cars to just anyone. Btw, I think he pulls off a decent salary since he is a collector of vintage cars.

Love the interior. Cooley is wrong on that one

825 watts and 20 speakers? My god, I'd love to hear that sound system!

[detroitballer]

I like how he talks about the flaws of the car and not just the good..great review

[MannyByas]

the best car tech show out there! Thanks!

[WarfareHD]

I like that interior very nice looking

[usman]

CNET reviews: "Yeah this jaguar has some really nice tech inside....but it couldn't travel through time or fly so I don't like it."

Its quite interesting the way Colley's opinions differs from Jermy's. While coolie was busy with the satnav Jermy was talking about how it feels and didn't even mentioned anything about the satnav!

Now, when you change from analog to digital type gauges in racing games, it really is how you drive your car.

Jag = the most respected car on the street

All of the videos that I have watched on the XJ have said it has more soul, has better feel and drives better than the German counter parts, thanks to rear Air Suspension and front adaptive struts. They all said due to the aluminium body which is incredibly stiff it has LESS roll than the competitors but feels more sporty? Maybe he should stick to reviewing Tech?

On that note, ref the 'Tech' this car was designed long before the Android units were being put into vehicles, it'll be on the next one for sure or it's Major mid-life facelift as the new baby Jag the XE is getting a whole new system with head up display, apps etc, the works.

Honestly, until the XF and this XJ, I was not a fan of Jaguar, my dad did though RIP and he never got to own one :(, I've owned recently BMWs, Audis, I also had a Peugeot 607 (which on the side profile shares a striking resemblance to the XJ) and I think I want one of these XJs now, can be had from £18k in the UK...would love to have one in the memory of Dad.

I am British and for once there is something to be proud of with the Jaguar Land Rover Group. Might be money from abroad but lets face it, they gave the JLR Group funding (which Ford just couldn't do) and everything is done, in house here in the UK as it has been for many years, so I am mighty proud of that, plus secured jobs for thousands and thousands of people.

I think this guy was a little harsh on the vehicle when you consider the tech that comes as standard compared to the 7 and A8 of the same era.

my family owns one. there is nothing wrong with the electronics. There is an ''animation' choice that you can turn off which makes the nab-screen much faster and smooth. And the car looks boss in some colors like white, red and black. We have the white one and my profile pic is my car.
