Yes it's good value for money i personally think 2009 what a good year for this jaguar model stand back and look at the lines on the jaguar the way it looks the way the rear quarter slops down the the rear of jaguar a beautiful car if you see this model and it's in great condition but it because once you've owned an xj jaguar you won't drive nothing else that's just my opinion but if you can afford it go for the xjr the sound they make is unbelievable

The features are very nice but I do prefer the earlier model that has both headlights the same size. I also prefer the headlights to be round & not oval

Jaguar XJ (2010-2019) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Sporty to drive for a luxury saloon | Compromised ride comfort |
| XJR is extremely fast | Low-quality finish in some parts of the cabin |
| Lots of luxury kit | Lacklustre infotainment system |
Quick Summary
The Jaguar XJ (2010-2019), known as the X351, is a dramatically styled luxury saloon that marked a significant departure from its predecessor. Featuring a sleek, low roofline, aggressive styling, and a panoramic glass roof, the XJ combines contemporary design with traditional Jaguar character. Engine options range from a frugal 3.0-litre diesel V6 to a supercharged 5.0-litre petrol V8, all initially with rear-wheel drive and six-speed automatic transmission, with all-wheel drive versions also available. The interior exudes luxury with fine veneers, leathers, and metal finishes that deliver a cosseting cabin with far more character than rivals such as the BMW 7 Series.
The XJ's driving dynamics are particularly engaging for a luxury saloon, with slick, accurate steering and a composed, capable chassis making it a treat to drive—more so than the Audi A8. However, this sportiness comes at the cost of a slightly compromised ride compared to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The long wheelbase model offers an extra 120mm of rear legroom, whilst the 520-litre boot accommodates more luggage than the Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series. Running costs are manageable, with diesel variants achieving over 35mpg and service plans available from around £480 annually. The high-performance XJR variant provides thrilling performance with 510hp and 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds.
Best for: Drivers seeking a luxury saloon with genuine driving engagement, those valuing character and style over ultimate comfort, and buyers interested in the high-performance XJR variant.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising ultimate ride comfort and refinement, buyers requiring a flawless interior finish, or those seeking the latest infotainment technology.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jaguar XJ | 3/5 | 4.4/5 | 7.1% | 3.9/5 |
| BMW 7 Series | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 30.4% | 4.2/5 |
| Audi A8 | 4/5 | 5.0/5 | 42.9% | 4.3/5 |
| Mercedes-Benz S-Class | 4/5 | 4.9/5 | 32.1% | 4.5/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the XJ if: You're seeking a luxury saloon with genuine driving engagement, value character and style, or are interested in the high-performance XJR variant.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise ultimate ride comfort and refinement, require a flawless interior finish, or seek the latest infotainment technology.
Competitive Position: The Jaguar XJ (2010-2019) is a distinctive luxury saloon that stands out for its engaging driving dynamics and evocative design. Whilst it may not offer the ultimate comfort of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the technological sophistication of the Audi A8, the XJ delivers a more involving driving experience than its rivals. It represents an excellent alternative to the Porsche Panamera for those seeking luxury with sporting credentials. However, with fewer good deals available and some interior quality concerns, it appeals most to buyers who value driving engagement and character over absolute refinement.
