The 2012 Jaguar XJ

The revitalized 2012 Jaguar XJ mesmerizes your five senses. Resort-like seating awaits passengers in both the front and back of the sedan that gives them a taste of first class luxury complete with highest fidelity sounds for the ears. Add optimal climate control and panoramic roof and the XJ delivers the scent of fresh air.

"For its new XJ, Jaguar ditched convention and gave its iconic sedan a radical, strikingly modern design inside and out. A luxury sedan that once appealed only to those with fond memories of string-back leather gloves is now a fully competitive flagship," writes Edmunds.com in its review of the 2012 Jaguar XJ.

Every XJ surrounds you with a powerful driving experience as you have four models from which to choose: Base XJ, XJL Portfolio, XJ/XJL Supercharged and XJ/XJL Supersport. You could go with the Supercharged's 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engine spewing 510 hp that reaches 60 mph in superlative 4.9 seconds or choose the base XJ with its 5.0-liter V8 engine purring with 385 hp and goes from 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds.

The easiest choice for those seeking the most comfortable seating with plenty of legroom is to go with the long wheelbase option (the "L" in XJL). With 44 inches of extra legroom and four-way adjustable lumbar support in the reclining rear seats, it'll be an experience that no other transportation offers. Be warned, your passengers may want to linger in the XJ for a while to enjoy the tranquility.

Adding to the sensory experience is the standard panoramic glass roof with tilt and slide immersing passengers in natural light that's sheltered from the sun's harmful rays. Space turns into more than a feeling when accompanying the roof with the spaciousness of the XJ.

"The XJ's cabin is another highlight. While all vehicles in this class are meticulously constructed, exquisite details and a dramatic design set the Jag apart," writes Edmunds.com. Jaguar designers and engineers have scrutinized every detail of the car from the aviator watch-style analog clock design to the overhead console that produces an illusion of a beautiful waterfall of light.

Athletic or elegant, classic or contemporary, with the array of options available, the XJ excels at complementing the character and demeanor of its owner while serving up an all-inclusive sensory ride for everyone who steps into the XJ.

Besides, when you glance at the XJ, you can't help but notice it looks exactly like its famed icon of the leaping jaguar that you just want to leap inside and let it run free.
