The XJ Series is the flagship of Jaguar’s line of premium luxury sedans. All of the XJ sedans are descendants of the classic S-type Jaguars of the late '50s and early '60s, with the first XJ sedan debuting in 1968. Jaguar buyers have benefited from Ford's acquisition of Jaguar several years ago that resulted in increased quality and reliability.

The 2008 Jaguar XJ Series gets a redesigned look with a revised front-end, new side power vents, rear aero spoiler, full-width chrome “signature blade” and new rear bumper. Revised with an all-new seat design, the interior also receives standard heated front seats, increased rear leg and foot room thanks to redesigned front seat backs. New 19-inch Polaris, Vela and Carelia alloy wheels are available and three new exteriors have been added. An upgraded Bluetooth system allows up to five phones to be paired to the in-car telephone system.
