Some cars leave a paper trail; the Jaguar XJ left a name, a year — 2020 — and a place in Jaguar's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
The story
The electric Jaguar XJ was a battery-electric luxury saloon car due to be launched in 2021 by British car company Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) under their Jaguar Cars marque. It was to supersede the XJ (X351), the last example of which was built in July 2019. In February 2021, CEO Thierry Bolloré announced that this car was cancelled as part of Jaguar's Reimagine plan, although the XJ name may be revived at a later date.
Under the skin
The record carries the layout — and the layout: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Jaguar's history is not in doubt: the Jaguar XJ (X351) came before it; it was built at Birmingham (Castle Bromwich Assembly), United Kingdom. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Tesla Model Y, the Porsche Taycan, the Kia EV6. Nearby in the Jaguar catalogue sit the F-Type and the Vanden Plas.
The money
On the used market today a Jaguar XJ typically changes hands for $17,700–$46,800, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $4,525–$7,526 a year. Insurance sits around $1,860–$3,570 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
