Just a single owner (zero previous keepers) and 259 miles from new; a superb uber-saloon and in 'showroom condition'
Designed at Jaguar Land Rover's Whitley plant in Coventry by a team led by design director, Ian Callum
The 2-litre I4 Ti engine from the Range Rover Evoque has plenty of performance and was improved with a pair of balancer shafts for a smoother power delivery in the all-aluminium XJ saloon
Effectively, the 2-litre replaces the old 3-litre V6, and delivers 237bhp with 340Nm of torque at 2, 000rpm, which ensures sprightly performance – 0-62mph takes 7. 5 seconds.
Auto Express magazine - 'Where the car really excels is cross country. Here the engine’s lighter weight means excellent balance through twists and turns. The steering is light, but never vague, with plenty of feedback, while the fluid ride would be the envy of many rivals. Although there’s some initial turbo lag at low revs, once the engine has picked up its stride, deft use of the silky smooth ZF 8-speed auto ensures it is always in the powerband’s sweet spot. This guarantees a surprising turn of speed that can be easily maintained. Equally, motorway cruising is a refined and relaxing experience'
The last incarnation of Jaguar's seminal XJ line
