The XJ performance luxury sedan will get even more competitive for the 2013 model year, as Jaguar is introducing several powertrain improvements.
All-wheel drive will be offered on the XJ for the first time ever, a rear-wheel biased system that will send torque to the front wheels for added traction when needed.
The XJ will also benefit from a new engine. A supercharged 3.0L V6 will develop 340 horsepower, not a bad thing since the competition offer similar smaller-displacement lumps, such as the Audi A8. The Intuitive All Wheel Drive system will be paired to the new V6.
Also new is an 8-speed automatic transmission, which will be fitted to each and every XJ. In addition, a start/stop system will be offered on some models.
With all these new features, the 2013 Jaguar XJ should provide considerably better fuel economy as well as all-weather traction.
