The all-new 2011 XJ's face looks confident, with a wide front track and short overhang contributing to fine proportions. Jaguar's new design language contributes the bold, assertive nose. Jaguar's mesh grille and slim Xenon headlights create a strong road presence while the wrap-around rear screen reduces the visual weight of the roof pillars and gives the impression of an exotic floating roof.

Sleek design and refined luxury is continued inside the all-new XJ by mixing newly advanced technologies and contemporary design. Jaguar designers have created an environment more akin to a state-of-the-art living space than a car cabin. The interior creates a sense of personal space enhanced by clean, simple forms from the instrument panel sitting low across the vehicle. An analog clock with individual chrome chaplets, a spun metal face and iridescent blue background provides a look inspired by fine timepieces.

The all-new XJ's cabin is a marvel in its own right, blending elegant, contemporary design with the comfort, luxury and unmistakable sporting style of a Jaguar. Chrome and piano black detailing provide an eye-catching contrast to beautifully crafted leather and wood surfaces. Complementing the all-new cabin is a level of colors, woods and leather choices not seen before in a Jaguar. The four models - XJ, XJL, Supercharged and Supersport - allow customers to tailor the car to their personal tastes. The 510-hp XJ Supersport is the top iteration of this, providing the ultimate expression of performance and luxury (custom order only) with a leather headliner, semi-aniline leather seats and woods with laser-generated inlays.

Stunning, 12.3-inch (312 mm) high-definition Virtual Instruments(TM) complement an innovative 8-inch (203 mm) touch-screen displays vehicle functions ranging from audio and video to navigation and climate control. The top audio experience is provided by a 1,200-watt Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system, standard on supercharged models and optional on the naturally aspirated XJ and XJL. Combining 20 Bowers & Wilkins speakers powered through 15 channels and state-of-the-art sound processing technology, the result is jaw-dropping sound quality tailored to the interior of the XJ. Comprehensive connectivity for portable audio and video devices are linked via the powerful Media Hub.

The The all-new XJ's beauty is much more than skin-deep. All engines transmit power through an enhanced version of Jaguar's acclaimed electronically controlled, six-speed automatic transmission which has a fully-adaptive shift system that delivers extremely smooth gear changes and works to balance performance and economy.

The new XJ will be available in Canada with a choice of three engines. The 5.0-litre, 385-hp naturally aspirated V8 is standard. One can opt for the XJ Supercharged, powered by a 470-hp supercharged V8. Finally, a 510-hp supercharged V8 is dedicated to the Supersport model. All three engines combine deft performance, unparalleled character, peerless pedigree, and have a classic Jaguar blend of strength and precision.
