Next Generation Jaguar XJ Spied! Aston Martin Rapide Styling, Hybrid Power on the Way?
Though this test mule is clearly wearing the well known bodywork from the current Jaguar XJ sedan, our spy photographer sources seem to believe that this work-in-progress represents the first steps towards an all-new Jag.
Insiders believe that there will be a strong family resemblance between the next generation XJ and Aston Martin’s upcoming Rapide, with the two cars allegedly sporting very similar greenhouses. Look for the XJ to wear a shorter nose than the sleek Rapide though, with a front end something akin to the current XF. The upcoming Jag should also have a traditional truck in place of the Aston’s hatchback configuration.
This next generation XJ could also be the first Jaguar car ever to be offered with a hybrid engine option to go along with an entry-level V-6 mill, several V-8s, as well as diesel choices. Take a look at the early test mule images in our gallery above, or scroll down below to read the shooter’s own words.
The new Jaguar XJ, a cheaper Rapide?
While Jaguar is still testing the next generation XJ under the old body, some rumours are leaking out about the design. Insiders who have seen the car are talking about a lot of Aston Martin Rapide influences in the XJ. Especially the greenhouse (between the A and C pillar) is very like.
But where the Aston has its long sleek nose, the Jaguars will be shorter and look more like the XF nose. The back will also be more conventional saloon, instead of the Astons hatchback.
The new XJ could also be the first Jaguar to be offered as a hybrid in addition to the supercharged V8 in the top version. Expect an entry level V6 engine together with midrange V8 and turbodiesel engines.

jaguar still exist. I am sure that Top Gear will test it and say "this is the best luxury car in the world, it is smashing".

I'm still waiting for them to actually redesign this car.

The XF style grill looks great on an XF. On an XJ, it looks absolutely dreadful.
Old jags have charm
If you refer to the grille in the spy photo, then do not fret. That is not what the production vehicle will sport, that is a cobbled version of the old XJ grille.

My first and last favourite XJ was the old 4.2 of 1981. And I'm still seeing clones of it today. Ordinarily, I'd just declare that as the timelessness of that old design, but really, they have become far less charming since then (the XJ)and most of the intervening designs were terribly unreliable too.
I'm really waiting for a great fresh design (and great reliability) at last for the XJ or shall we call it TATA? In any case, TATA or Ford, it's still a Jag. If they get it really right this time, maybe I'll get another. The first one was certainly good for the memories.

Jaguar has been the most reliable Euro Lux sedan for at least the last 9 years. Look it up in Initial quality reports on JD Power since 1999. Right now Jag is rate #8 in the world overall in long term dependability of all
38 major car brands. So get your story straight

There's really not much to comment on, the spied vehicle being a semi disguised X350. The speculation about the new XJ sharing design features with Aston Martin - like the XK range has done since birth - certainly bares promise of supercars being made available for "the masses", in good Jaguar tradition; value for money!
I have yet to find a Jaguar that is not a work of art, at least in some aspects...

Do not be deceived by the looks of this Jaguar XJ prototype. Like every XJ since the middle ages, it has whimsically droopy styling, but according to NextAutos, that old skin will soon be shed. They say the next XJ will combine an Aston Martin Rapide-like profile with front-end cues from the current Jaguar XF — though expect a proper boot in the rear as opposed to the Rapide's hatchback. If all that isn't enough to bring the old cat leaping back into relevance, the XJ may also be going green.

The rectangle shaped face needs links of londonjewelry that adds width and camouflages the length of the face. A highchoker reduces the length of the face, particularly if the neck is toolong. In addition, a 16¡å or 18¡å necklace that ends in a ¡°U¡±flatters this face. Long hair and narrow links of london is perfect match which can impress others as a fair lady. Fancy clothes coordinating links of london with slight tint could be better.

Im 18 years old and as a struggling student who enjoys racing UGG
Boots ultra short Le its becoming extremely expensive and harder to
attend and enjoy a days racing. Sure a student with a part time UGGS
upside job would have to save for a few weeks to consider attending a raceday as
expensive as this. I see that Fairyhouse are racing on the 19th of this month
and are charging UGGS whitely boots 5e entry fee. Its up to other
tracks to follow suit and use some initiative to offer better value to the
normal racegoer…!Pretty good air jordan post. I just found your site and wanted
to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your Bailey Button UGG
Boots posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I
hope you nike sb post again soon!
