Jaguar had recently launched its latest full size
sedan throughout the world, but until recently not many had laid their hands
and experienced the reborn XJ. For that, Jaguar initiated one of its most
thorough Press events since the launch of the game changing XK in 2005, and
took us, along with the rest of the world’s automotive media, to test drive of the
new Jaguar XJ on the scenic roads that surround Paris, France.
When Jaguar, the car, comes to our mind the first
image that flashes through our imagination is that of a Jaguar, the cat,
leaping forward in chase of its prey. The current XJ might not have a mission
as a sprinter, but as a car designed to carry statesmen and executives with all
the legroom they wish for, it’s the closest you get to the real thing…
When it debuted in the late 60’s, the XJ was seen as
a break with the past, and the 2011 XJ is even more so. It provides the best
luxury and sporting equilibrium in a segment shared with the Audi A8, BMW 7
Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Lexus LS 460.
