The XJ was always elegant and attractive. However with all the new luxury sedans with a host of gadgets coming into the market, Jaguar didn’t want to be left behind and have updated the 2014 model with some extra goodies.
Skyscrapers can be a pride to behold for a city. We’ve got our fair share of mega-structures too. But here, we are emphasising on a new skyscraper nicknamed the “Walkie-Talkie” in London. The English tower has earned the reputation of melting a Jaguar XJ.
We landed ourselves a drive with the new Jaguar F-Type, apparently we being the first media to try it out on UAE roads. This is the first Jaguar we’ve brought home in years, aside from the one we bought recently, although if memory serves us right, they’ve never built anything like it in decades.
If you remember, our recently-purchased Jaguar XK went to the dealership straight after we were handed the keys by the previous owner, because it was throwing up “overheating” warnings. Thankfully it turned out to be just a thermostat. As soon as we picked it up from the service centre though, there was an intermittent whining noise coming from who-knows-where. Over a week, the noise became more and more common, to the point where it was even giving out the occasional whine while revved at standstill. We were expecting the worst. After all, Jaguar’s reputation precedes them.
We wanted to fill our personal fleet up with cool cars. That means our trusty Renault Safrane will eventually move on to a good home by the end of the summer. The replacement had to cleanly fall between our Honda S2000 and our Range Rover in terms of size, drive and cargo-carrying practicality. We thought of all sorts of cars, including Minis, Chargers, Alfas, Evoques, 3-Series, GTIs and what not. Then I woke up last week and had a sudden urge to buy a Jaguar XK. So I did.
Jaguar had showcased the 2014 XJR, the sporty variant of their flagship saloon at the much-talked-about New York Auto Show earlier this month.
Gone are the days when you got what you paid for. Four luxury carmakers — BMW, Jaguar, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz — have issued recalls on various models, some more serious than others.
Jaguar had proudly announced some time ago that they were going to put their Jaguar C-X75 supercar concept into limited production. It turns out they’ve changed their mind.
The Jaguar XFR-S was revealed at the Los Angeles International Auto Show to become the British company’s most powerful sedan ever made. However a very limited number of the XFR-S will be produced by Jaguar.
