Want to own a 2010 Jaguar XJ Sedan? Now with the detailed configuration released from Jaguar, one can build up his personal XJ exactly as he wants it. Click here to go to the website.
There are eight different variants offering, starting with the basic 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel short-wheelbase model and topping out with the long-wheelbase Supersport model powered by a 510hp supercharged 5.0-liter V8. In addition, a set of different options are also on offer. After the buyer submits the options which they like the configurator will then price the amount of the car.
However, the site is designed for customers in the UK. A similar version may be launched for customers in the U.S. closer to the official sales launch in December. However, the new XJ can be ordered right now in the U.S. “The launch of the all new Jaguar XJ marks a major milestone for Jaguar in North America, which is expected to be the world’s largest Jaguar XJ market,” says Gary Temple, President of Jaguar Land Rover North America. “The debut of our ultimate four-door flagship follows recent recognition for exceptional dependability and clearly demonstrates our commitment to producing the finest cars in the world - fast, beautiful cars that offer luxury, performance and first-rate quality.”
Pricing starts from an MSRP of $72,500 for the base 5.0-liter V8, $87,500 for the XJ Supercharged and from $112,000 for the XJ Supersport.
Jaguar’s famous XF lineup gets a new member - the 2010 XF Supercharged sedan, which will join the North American market together with the 4.2L and 5.0L naturally aspirated XF and the range-topping XFR super-saloon . Jaguar has also released U.S. pricing information for its XF lineup.
The new XF Supercharged comes with from its 5.0-liter AJ-V8 Gen III engine pumping out a 470hp (351kW) and 424lb-ft (574Nm) of torque - a 12% increase in power over the 4.2L 2009 Jaguar XF Supercharged. Actually, the 5.0-liter supercharged AJ-V8 Gen III engine is not strange, which was debuted at this year's Detroit Auto Show, but had only been planned in naturally aspirated form for the 2010 XF.
However, it’s not just about more power. "The Jaguar XF Supercharged will offer consumers a compelling luxury sedan choice with benchmark handling ability and truly memorable performance," said Jaguar Managing Director Mike O'Driscoll. Indeed, the new XF Supercharged also gets Jaguar’s latest ‘Adaptive Dynamics’ variable suspension damping system and the ‘Active Differential Control’ electronically controlled rear differential as standard.
The end result is a 0-60mph time of 4.9 seconds – just 0.2 seconds off the pace of the 510hp (380kW) XFR.
Other features include uprated ventilated disc brakes, painted calipers, quad-tailpipes, and 20-inch, five triple-spoke alloy wheels. Rich Oak veneer trim is available on the 2010 XF Supercharged only, which also features twin needle upholstery stitching, premium headliner, heated steering wheel, and a 440-Watt Bowers & Wilkens surround sound system with HD radio.
Sales of the 2010 Jaguar XF Supercharged will begin in October 2009. And it will be priced from $68,000. As for the rest of the lineup, the 300hp (225kW) 4.2L naturally aspirated XF is priced from $52,000, the 385hp (287kW) 5.0L naturally aspirated XF Premium at $57,000 and the aforementioned XFR at $80,000.
Incidentally, there is one other XF variant, the XF Diesel S. This super frugal sedan is limited to European markets and is powered by a 3.0L commonrail turbodiesel returning 34.5mpg (6.8L/100km) in fuel economy. It will not be available in the U.S..
