Just to Prove Class Is Permanent

Summary


ROAD TEST: Jaguar XJ Sport Jaguar's rejuvenated XJ luxury saloon is more than just limo that handles. The Sport pack adds attitude, too. Steve Walker takes a look Jaguar is a car manufacturer that's on the march and it seems a certainty that other premium car marques have been rattle by the pace and panache the XJ brings to the sector. The Sport and Speed packs won't do anything to assuage their fears.

Does the already dashing XJ really need the Sport pack's bodykit? It could so easily be OTT but, in the flesh, it looks rather fabulous, comprising, in terms of body add-ons, simply a splitter- style spoiler under the front bumper and a slightly elongated bootlip spoiler. A glossy black mesh finish is applied to the front grille and vents while 20-inch 'venom' alloy wheels are treated to an extra visual lift with red brake callipers nestling behind the spokes. Inside carbon trim fillets make a (perhaps predictable) appearance as one of the extra trim colour/finish combos while the optional 'Performance' front seats get meatier bolstering, softgrain leather surfaces and the usual huge range of adjustment. Stainless steel pedals bearing the Jaguar name add the finishing touch.
