Design of the 2017 Jaguar XJ
Authoritative without being too intimidating, the 2017 Jaguar XJ radiates style and class from the very first glance. From a stylishly designed grille and dynamic taillights at the rear to a luxurious interior that personifies craftsmanship in its true sense, the new XJ sedan is a sight to behold for car enthusiasts.
The Exterior
The exterior of the new 2017 Jaguar XJ looks powerful and agile. This sedan has a wide and low stance so that it can match the long taut waistline. The exterior is covered with elegantly sculpted hood and fine honed lines at the sides so that the design can take on Jaguar’s style sense.
The overall design can be called dynamic, dramatic and distinctively fluent. It looks stunning when in motion, but even when it is standing still, it appears to be in motion and ready to charge down the road. Jaguar is calling it “intelligence in motion” because of the design elements that make it a masterpiece.
The grille at the front is big and bold, it is framed by strong LED headlights that make the striking illuminated “double J” light design. The rear of Jaguar XJ is just as striking, thanks to the signature “J” LED running taillights and elliptical tailpipes that accentuate the power and agility of the sedan.
The floating roofline design emphasizes the low, long and wide profile of the XJ sedan and complements the overall design in a subtle tone. All of the exterior design elements of this luxury sedan pronounce an aggressive stance while still staying classy and undeniably Jaguar.
The Interior
Designed to be calm and peaceful, the 2017 Jaguar XJ has an exceptionally refined interior that blends luxury with functionality. The cabin of the new XJ is sporty and made to be welcoming and technologically advanced. Upon purchase the owner will have the choice of multiple interior colors, finishes and materials.
One thing that was added to the interior of Jaguar XJ is the spaciousness that was much-needed. The new XJ is fitted with hand-crafted veneer all around the cabin and of course, you will find comfort elements throughout the interior as well.
The heat-reflective panoramic roof adds to the overall elegance of the sedan and ensures that the passengers can enjoy the good weather together. Jaguar has added phosphor blue lighting that reflects out of the dashboard and center console so that it can bring a refined finish to the black interior.
The rear seats are spacious and ergonomically designed to bring a more luxurious feel to it. The headrests are embossed with the Jaguar leaper, while the seats have twin-needle stitching in contrasting colors. Another standout feature of the interior of the Jaguar XJ is that all seats in the sedan come with cooling and heating function so that every passenger can be comfortable, not just the people in the front seats.
