It is an amazing vehicle in every way.

I like everything about the car. I like its sleekness, the way it handles while driving, and the features.

I absolutely adore my jaguar xj, highly recommend this make and model.

I really haven't had any major problems per-say. I actually love my vehicle and keep it in pristine condition. The one issue I did have (car is fully loaded) with that said: the heated/cooled seats are leather. The attachment bar under the front seats does become disengaged periodically. It has been reattached a number of times yet still unattached itself. That would be the only major issue I have had with this car. The car is comfortable, have used it for long road trips and is very reliable. The performance is outstanding, I love the supercharger model and it is a fun car to drive. The car is fully loaded with every bell and whistle available with this model. I highly recommend this vehicle & model. I will definitely purchase this make again.

The vehicle is made for speed but also comfort, it has great options and not bumpy on a rough road

The vehicle has great comfort, and speed also the vehicle has a great handling on the road and has great space inside

Sam S

A great driving car, you can feel the steering and it doesn't make your feel that your on a couch

Very luxurious, great driving car with many tech features. There isn't anything I don't like.

Jerome S

It's refined and beautiful. It's very comfortable on a long trip.

I love the room, comfort and style of the vehicle. I also love the handling response for a car of this size. I would like just a little more powerful engine.

John L

The luxury and the ride quality are of the best out on the market

It runs great and is fun to drive in all weather and and styles of driving. The materials and dig sign is nice

A driver's car

I got rid of my Mercedes E-350 because of electric glitches and mechanical issues and the car had under 41,000 miles. We traded it in on our Jaguar XJR and I have to say that it is an excellent drivers car, make no mistake it is a Beast on the road! One would think that a car this size would drive like a large car but they would be wrong the car drives like a small sports car. The car is super comfortable and excellent for driving a long distance in style, comfort and without body fatigue.

Jaguar XJ supercharged is great luxury and sports car.

My vehicle is rwd so I have problems driving in snow. Also, it doesn't have highest gas mileage. Overall the sound system is great and love the drive of it. Very comfortable with massage seats

Negative Owner Reviews

Michael K

Jaguar avoid at all costs.

Have had mechanical and structural problems since the day I purchased and will never buy a jaguar again. The dealer fixed some and claimed many other were not covered under warranty. Complete waste of money although I do like the styling and the technology.

Purchased it because of styling.

Style comfortable pretty easy to drive people always telling me how good the car looks not sure what more is to be said about a luxury vehicle. It has all the accessories. Most I haven't learned to use. Drive this vehicle less than three thousand miles a year.

Pros from Owners

Michael K.

Styling and included options are great however there are far too many mechanical problems that happen to recommend to anyone. I have purchased 3 Jaguars and would never buy nor recommend again. Better value available.

Sydney T.

The car is extremely fast and the sport mode is very impressive. Model looks slick and very fancy. Interior is luxurious and the leather is very nice. Gets decent gas mileage and is very fun to drive on long road trips. Overall very satisfied with the car.

Cons from Owners

Michael K.

Mechanical and electrical problems persist. From the day of purchase, I had problems and would never purchase nor recommend a Jaguar again. While the design is unique and the drive is comfortable, the constant problems tell me to stay away.

Sydney T.

Vehicle is too low to the ground. I have to be very cautious around speed bumps and curbs because it is EXTREMELY easy to scrape the rim of the car. This is my only con - however it is a huge flaw in the model and makes me nervous every time I drive.
