I must admit when i got my XJ people told me look how big it is oh i must have money but i got a 2013 XJ 3.0 V6 diesel and I wasnt disappointed by its performance on a long run I was getting over 40 mpg and when you kick that engine into life when you need it just says to you it wants to go even not in sport mode . It's a fabulous car to own it's just luxury and when doing a long drive u dont feel tired afterwards either I look forward to many years in my jag Xj portfolio
Hello, how did the Jag do after 4 years?
@connortraynor1643 ditto. Interested to hear too.
@connortraynor1643 well the jag got sold as the it was costing alot of money to keep maintained the brake servo went on it and that cost me £1500 to replace and as I work from one side of my town and work the other side of town in the mornings the the engine wasn't getting warm enough and it only got a long run once a month but it was avert nice car
The eight speed does 100 mph at 2000rpm
Now that's impressive
Especially with the small engine.
8 speed didn’t come until 2012. His one must be 6 speed
It is extremely reliable !!!! How do I know? Got one. The XJ 6cyl petrol long wheelbase. The best Jag I ever had.
Keith Aspden Hi I am planning to get one.Just wanted to know if do you get noticed in this car and how is reliability now?
Hello hru I'm planning to pick up a 2012 xj supercharge I was wondering if you knew if those were reliabile also..
Yup the new jags are actually reliable
@Hammerschlägen M yes
@Hammerschlägen M it's a small quirk not bad at all I change the oil myself at 10000 miles
I just bought a late 2012 XJ 3.0ltr supercharged portfolio with only 16000 miles on it. Originally it cost £67,500 (the original invoice came with the car) and I picked it up for £19,000. It still drives like brand new and the feel of it is just sublime, the power from 340 bhp supercharged V6 is perfect and sitting in that ivory two tone interior makes you feel, well, special. I had an XF which I lavished attention on and that was a nice car, 3.0ltr V6 petrol premium luxury, I poly bushed the rear suspension and the front Caster arms but to be honest after driving the XJ there's just no comparison.
I love my 2011 jaguar XJL!
I love my 2020 XJ,one of the last to be built,I've had 2 XF's and they were beautiful cars but this XJ50 is something else,exceptional car.
The new ones are going to he sick can't wait to see what the new ceo has cooked up his ass
I could have sworn 2019 was the last model year
Yes 2019 was the year Jag stopped making the XJ,but mine was registered in 2020,they had stock left over.
One of best British designed machine .
When you drive/see, a BMW, an Audi or MB, it's all the same story. But when you see/drive a Jaguar it's all about exclusivity and spirit.
King Kodjo what u mean this is outselling bmw and audi
In the UK, maybe
I always do a double-take. Beautiful..
Wise man right here
I'm getting one soon...
u got one?
How many times has it broken down so far on you?
@@kle7571 Yes...
@@eurosonly Actually it’s a very reliable. I have no issues at all. The only ones that I keep hearing bad things about are the V6 models, engine failures.
Which motor do you have? Mileage?
I don't know why people are still complaining that this channel only uploads old content - don't these people know Fifth Gear ended in 2016?
Tom Robinson well that makes sense
Are you The Tom Robinson of the Tom Robinson Band from the 1970's. If you are, I salute you sir! I guess it's because it was put on at rather strange times when the revived Top Gear was/is on Sunday nights.
How many have you owned Abdulaziz, I am guessing NONE! I've owned 6, including a 1988 XJ6, a 1967 E-Type and 2 V12 models, ALL have been quite RELIABLE! My most common repairs were the normal starter and alternator replacements after years of use. People that bad mouth Jaguar typically have NEVER owned one, they merely parrot ignorance of others. Though I admit I do not like the styling of the current saloons in either series.
I'm with you all the way. I haven't owned as many as you have. But I'm now in my 2nd Jaguar. My first one was a 03 S Type 4.2 V,8. A beautiful car when I bought it everyone told me I had made a huge mistake it was going to be in the shop more than I'm able to drive it and on and on. I had that car 12 years. It went to the shop frequently, yes, for Oil changes, then I put a new set of tires on it.and after 150k miles I had to have the brake pads done. So proved them wrong. One of the most reliable cars I ever owned. I sold it to my cousin with 157k well loved miles on it so I could buy my 2012 XF Supercharged V8 Portfolio edition. And once again I heard all of the same crap again only from people who had NEVER owned one.
And my XF has also been very good to me.
Absolutely right i just got the xf 2.2 R-Sport 8 speed automatic, God Almighty where can i start, I've driven the Mercedes e220 but the Jaguar is the best. Im saving up to get the xj hopefully soon i cant wait
100% with you Clarkecars! I have had 2 XJS V12's, 1 Series 3 V12, 4 Series 2 XK 4.2's and 2 S Type 3.0L V6's all of them were great cars and only suffered from the neglect of previous owners that I corrected. I got into Jaguar cars when I was eight and my dad bought a fabulous 420G in British Racing Green, that was the car I longed for. However, I also grew with neighbour's that ran Land Rover's and from that day to this (45years later) I have owned many Jaguar's and Land Rover's and will continue to do so! Not keen on this shape XJ but used prices are making up for that hideous rear end so I may be tempted into one yet? Otherwise it's another Range Rover!
Clarkecars
I'm with you 100% on that!
I've owned a 3.2 XJ Sport, XJR 3.6, XJR 4.0, XJR 4.2, XFR, XKR 5.0, XJ Supersport & an XFR 5.0 - no issues at all other than standard maintenance.
(currently run a Hamann F-Pace 1st Edition, XJR 5.0 & an F-Type SVR coupe)
Clarkecars totally agree
I've owned 2 series 3 cars (really miss those loved the double fuel tank) a 97 4litre sovereign an Ali body 2003 4.2 V8 still got and a 2014 twin turbo bought last year I would so far as to say jags are more reliable than there rivals only servicing and general wear and tear items if you don't take good care of your vehicle then your left with an unreliable car and that's the type of car that these people are on about that's not jags fault that's the fault of the skinflint owners
If jag had sorted the rivet corrosion issues in a more timely manner then I would have been good but I would rather bear that than drive a soulless German marque the 2 comments I always got and still get are your going to lose a lot of money in depreciation and I bet that breaks down a lot depreciation doesn't bother me and the second point is made by hearsay and not owners (not from owners of well looked after cars anyway)
As you can probably tell I bloody love these cars
Never owned a supercharger but will probably buy one when they get to around £25k
God I want this car! Come on powerball numbers.
I'm going to be a second hand version of this.
i drive one and i can tell you it is EPIC CAR!!!!!!!!
VBH. The legend.
I'm confused by all these "newly" uploaded videos that are from several years ago.... what's the point?
jason starek it’s a tbt
to give people that haven't seen it the chance to see it.
It is a bit confusing. I was wondering if there'd been some updates to the XJ which justified this 'new' video but the car looked the same as always.
not only that, but it looks likes the 2010 model. More than just a bit old. Doesnt even talk about engines and performance. I get sick of finding 'new' videos only to discover it is the same old thing all over again.
xj is superb british peace of engineering and art .
Indian
The advert before the video is almost as long as the review.
I got one and its consume a lot. 2.0i engine petrol consume 14liter per 100km. Anyway ıts the greatest car I have ever had. Its heavy, heavy steering wheel. THE BEST
XJ has 2 liter engine ???
@@haoyuan5 yeah, 2.0 ingenium 240 hp
Aluminium. That's a word? Thought I was trippin 😂
unfortunately, this event is very interesting to enjoy and be a recommendation for those who will have the vehicle of his dreams ... hopefully will be back on air
This features like the tv and those things the s class had in 2005...
I have the XF V6 3L S BEST CAR
Ye im russian.Weres the ladas?
I have this car how does the DVD player work while the satellite works I don't get it
U can pick them up for about 20 k now
like every other old luxury car on planet
More 30 to 40 k with low miles
@@Bwause83 compared to a 2010 7 series or s class,this looks more modern and if 2010-2014 cars are old to you,do you buy a new whip every year?
£10k in 2020
Low as 7k in 2021
What is the bit rate on the audio system? If it is less then 16bit then forget it. I will not permit Lo-Fi in any car I own.
Go drive a speaker on wheels
Better than a BMW 5 and 7 series because of the interior.
It's definitely as good as a Mercedes S Class.
Aaryesh G. The interior is boring af dont listen to this biased review
Tasos Stavrou Nope, interior is great. I used 730, cls350. Jag is the most reliable and luxurious car. Jag>Audi>S class>730
Oh Vicky...Marry me!
She has a bump ?
O XJ é muito lindo, mas ele é muito grande!
Por isso se você tiver um XJ vai ser difícil estacionar.
doing nails in the back seat........yup thats exactly whwat the back compartment of the car is for
100% agree
Great. I'll Have Two.
Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$
Is she expecting? Cool...
Ahloominium you say, ehloominum I say.
what is the fuel economy of jaguar xj
The one she was talking about is a diesel and should get you between 30 and 45 miles to the gallon depending on how you drive it
The video doesn’t cover anything around the engine, performance, standard kit, 3 person rear seat comfort etc. Disappointing to say the least.
It’s basically like my 2016 Range Rover Sport
Um, no.
@@johntechwriter interior wise, many parts are recycled lol. Not same chassis, mind you, and many systems in the drive train are different. But the main components the driver interacts with are very similar if not the same haha
I love Jags (I have one) ... but the XJ just looks like a British Jag with an American Bum to me. I'm sure that's a deliberate move to sell more in the states and it's lovely and capable but ... it's just that bum, I couldn't live with it, every time I looked at the car I'd feel just a twinge of disappointment.
you need to clarify the content
Owned a 2010 5.0NA for 18 months. Blew ignition coils every other week. Couldn’t go above 5000rpm without blowing. Battery drained in 1week if it wasn’t used. Took to Jaguar dealership, waste of time. Never buying another Jag

Harris Margaret Taylor George Jones Sharon
worst car review channel ever seen
This car isn't even close to technology that Audi and Mercedes have like automatic braking, automatic trunk, so much better display and rear seat reclining. Like rlly? roof with electric blinds? Is that the best this cars got for the money your paying for?
Sahil Kumtakar I have a xjl and it has all of what you said and more
1st
It's a canal barge
Why are you re-uploading videos? It nothing the only one re-uploaded this month. Thumb down
Fifth Gear ended in 2016, there is no new content. When the show ended, they started uploading EVERY episode and review in order from the beginning. This insn't a reupload ,you have just seen it before. Proberly from pirates.
dwarf365 actually this can be true. Thanks
British show promotes british cars over the german ,still german are far ahead
Syedobaid Shahr German cars all look the same and have the same shitty interiors for example BMW have been using the same door handle design for 14 years they've been using the same steering wheel for over 10 years and the same grill for about 8 years. I bought a BMW 7 series about 3 years ago and I absolutely hated the fucking heap of shit I returned the car about a week later because it drove like a piece of shit. I then bought a jaguar XJL and I love that car I still own it to this date. I would never buy another BMW again because there ugly have cheap interiors and are horrible to drive and they are also overpriced but I would definitely buy another jaguar. In a jaguar you can see that it has been designed and built to a standard it rewards luxury and drives like a sports car jaguar's reward a sense of status and that's something a BMW could never do.
What British show are you talking about? As far as I know, Fifth Gear promotes all makes of cars, both Top Gear and The Grand Tour mainly talk about mainly Super Cars, and most of the British motoring press go on about how wonderful German cars are. So tell me what on earth are you talking about?
Besides there are very few British cars made these days! Since the strikes in the '60's and '70's, and some of the products that were made in both the '70's and '80's. At least both Jaguar's and Land Rover are making a wide range of cars compared to a few years ago. I take it you drive a certain German make… BMW?
Yes, I agree, but Syedobaid Shahr might own one of those overrated German cars. I drove a diesel 3 Series GT on a test drive, (when we owned an X-Type). It made more road noise than the X-Type, the plastic was worse than that on a Rover 200, the interior was not very pleasant and the engine was unrefined. Our XJ6 diesel is far quieter than BMW and a far better looking car compared to the 7-Seiries. In fact I hate everything about BMW… But that's another story of tantrums, screwing the Rover Group and helping it's demise and killing off German rivals in the '60's and taking over their rival's products and factories!
And it is extremely unreliable....
Shinta Himura Good for you Mam...It has very bad reputation where I live. It will lose have its value in 3 yrs. I live in a very hot region.
Not unreliable anymore, actually one of the most reliable luxury cars after a Lexus. You are confusing Jag with an overrated unreliable German brand.
Viking Power You can ask anyone who lives in the Gulf region about it sir. It is very very bad. Although i am not sure about the new model.
Sureshort cure wow just because of the Arab name?
compared to WHAT? Give us some names
really a ridiculous review, you ruined a very good car
beautiful car, and very pleasant, until you hit 50k miles. After that, it turns into a turd
How so?
This is so biased lmao. A UK tv show promoting a British brand what a shocker
Tasos Stavrou you should try driving one, then your opinion will be the same. I just bought one and after having had a BMW and an Audi it feels like a big step up in luxury terms.
I can't fault it other than the fact the sun roof makes a slight rattle on very bumpy roads.
andrew warner well if you went from a 1 series to an XJ I'd expect that, you need to be more specific
Tasos Stavrou I have a 2013 5 series which I have had for the last 4 years from new. I tried a 7 series and the jag and prefer the jaguar. The technology isn't as good as the new 7 series but if you are looking at a 3 year old Jaguar XJ vs a 3 year old 7 series there isn't much in it technology wise. But the jag feels more expensive and luxurious inside and handles a bit better.
The new S class was out of my price range and I was going for a used car this time but the previous generation S class has a smoother ride but not as nice to drive and again it doesn't look or feel as nice inside. If you can get a 2017 S class that's probably the nicer car but if you are looking at cars that are a few years old the jag is the one to get. Don't forget this video is of a car from 2010.
andrew warner well idk thats your own opinion i dont think the 2017 jag is worth it lookswise. Havent driven nor will I ever drive any of these cars, im 20 just started uni and poor😂 but thanks for the info!
Tasos Stavrou you may not have the money now but you may do one day. When I was 20 my car was worth about £200 and I shared a house with 8 other students. Now I have my own house, a Jaguar XJ, Porsche 911 and a BMW 5 series (I will however be getting rid of the 5 series as the jaguar is its replacement, but for now I look flash with three cars). Good luck with uni it will all be worth it in the end.
Drove one for a day and the interrior is cheap and boring. Also not that comfortable. Volvo or bmw is better.
I doubt you did that at all. Not a single review has ever said that about the interior or the comfort. And claiming a volvo is better than a Jag simply proves my point.
Volvo better ? 😂😂
Wash your mouth out now!
Volvo s80 v8 is a great car. But this is different, stupido s !
It looks awful, probably one of the worst looking Jags in the history of the company. And the woeful sales figures back my claim up. Would be better as another car in the lineup. XJ should carry the DNA from whence it came, as other rivals do. Jag is going down the toilet and Ian Callum isn't doing a great job.
