The 2014 Jaguar XJ ranks 10 out of 12 Super Luxury Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Jaguar XJ, as well as reliability and safety data.
The 2014 Jaguar XJ’s athletic handling and powerful engine choices impress auto writers, but they say the XJ falls short with a tight back seat and frustrating tech features.
The XJ comes standard with a supercharged V6 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission, and test drivers say that the base XJ will please most shoppers with its quick acceleration and ample power. Reviewers also approve of the Jaguar XJ’s eight-speed automatic, which they note is smooth and refined in normal driving situations, and quick to react when more power is needed. More-powerful supercharged V8 engines are available in Supercharged and XJR models. The 2014 XJ gets up to 18/27 mpg city/highway, which is good for a six-cylinder super luxury car. Critics love the XJ’s agile handling and accurate steering, noting that it drives like a much smaller car. While a handful of reviewers write that the 2014 XJ rides more firmly than some of its competitors, they also say that it’s still comfortable and composed over imperfect roads.
Reviewers think that the 2014 Jaguar XJ has an attractive cabin design and top-notch materials that include leather, wood and aluminum trim. However, some reviewers report that the XJ’s interior lacks the exceptional build quality found in competitors like the Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The Jaguar XJ’s front seats are generally considered comfortable and supportive, though some auto writers note that the back seat is less spacious than those in other cars in the class. Critics note that audio, climate and navigation functions can be difficult to access through the XJ’s touch-screen display, which can be slow to respond to user inputs. The XJ comes standard with soft-closing doors, heated front and rear seats, a power trunk lid, front and rear parking sensors, a backup camera, a blind spot monitoring system, navigation, a 14-speaker Meridian audio system, a USB port, Bluetooth, satellite and HD Radio and an 8-inch touch-screen display. Options and features available on higher trims include adaptive cruise control, four-zone automatic climate control, ventilated front and rear seats, reclining rear seats with massage, a rear-seat entertainment system and an upgraded stereo system.
