Chronology
PredecessorJaguar XJ (X350) / Jaguar XJ (X358)

X351[7][8] is the internal designation for the final generation of the Jaguar XJ, a range of full-size luxury saloons (F-segment)[9][10][11] produced by British manufacturer Jaguar Cars, later known as Jaguar Land Rover, from 2009 to 2019. Representing the fourth generation of the XJ saloon range, the X351 succeeds the X350.

Designed and developed under the direction of British exterior designer Ian Callum, the whole development process lasted three years. The X351 utilises the JLR D2a, a platform dedicated to making vehicles that feature a longitudinally-mounted combustion engine and an aluminium-alloy structure. It was announced in 2009 before going on sale in 2010, and combines revised styling with underpinnings of the previous Jaguar X350 generation. It is the final generation of the XJ, after the electric Jaguar XJ was cancelled in February 2021.[12]

The X351 is the first XJ to feature an all-wheel drive system, due to the popularity of AWD vehicles in the United States. The XJ, ditching its quad headlamps, adopts a more streamlined exterior design to match the current design trend of cars in that generation.[13] Production of the car was due to begin in September 2009, with first deliveries being made in early 2010.[14] Mass production later began in 2010, with the car arriving in dealer showrooms in May 2010.[15][16] Production was initially carried out only at the Castle Bromwich Assembly plant in Birmingham, England.[17] From 2014, assembly from complete knockdown kits (CKD) of the XJ commenced at Jaguar Land Rover's facility in Pune, India.[18] The final XJ rolled of the production line on 5 July 2019. This model had represented the last model out of all 122,330 X351 units produced.[19]

Development and engineering

2013 Jaguar XJ 3.0 Kompressor Premium Luxury (Germany; pre-facelift)

Development of the fourth generation XJ—designated X351—had commenced in 2005, with final design approval taking place in November 2006 and the design being frozen in the first half of 2008. The design team was led by design director Ian Callum,[20] however it was Matthew Beaven who had led the XJ design group, which was initially composed of Giles Taylor, Adam Hatton, Mark Phillips, Nicholas Finney and Kim Challinor. The designers were given the task of producing a new body style using a majority of the underpinnings from the outgoing X350.[21][22][23] Julian Thomson, Jaguar's Head of Advanced Design and subsequently Director of Design at Jaguar defined it as "a period of great reinvention" and that he and his team "all contributed to what we thought the new XJ should look like and all of us had our own personal vision for the XJ". Ultimately, the team had made a total of eight computer-aided design models for viewing.[21] The design team had desired to keep what they call the "Jaguar look" and pay admiration to iconic Jaguar XJ6, while simultaneously revolutionising the marque's large luxury vehicle.[21] Consequently, one of the first things the designers did was remove the quad headlamps, which has been a staple look of the XJ since 1968.[24] They had also removed the small grille style that had also been on the XJ since its launch. The designers had understood that the size of the grille was important; Callum had stated that design concepts seemed "extraordinarily assertive".[21]

Despite the X350 being used as a basis for the X351, the XJ had to incorporate a style that fit in with the newly-introduced X250 XF (2007) and the X150 XK (2006), which were both already successful vehicles within the market sector.[21] Matthew Beaven had stated that the team had developed range of concepts, ranging from a sports sedan—dubbed the "Goodwood"—to a conventional large luxury sedan. He had stated that these were all designed via computer-aided design. Meetings were held daily where the team discussed the drawings and viewed the CAD models.[21][25] By March 2006, a foundational design had been established.[26] Use of computer-aided design in the development studio was standard; however, Callum and Thomson had encouraged the team to start sketching ideas of what they thought the XJ should look like.[21]

Jaguar's on-set manufacturing and engineering departments were involved in converting the concepts to a production vehicle.[21][27] At this time, Jaguar was a worldwide leader in the use of aerospace technology in the vehicle industry. The previous X350 XJ and the XK X150 had made use of alloys being combined and fixed to form a strong and light structure.[21][28][21] The X351 featured these technologies, however these were upgraded by utilising larger panels that matched with the overall size of the car. Using experience from the earlier XJ and XF aluminium build techniques, engineers at Castle Bromwich Assembly plant were conceiving new ways of decreasing the number of components that make up its body structure.[29] The previous XJ uses three aluminium components for the doors; however, the X351 featured a single-piece design which was lighter and stiffer.[21][30] The X351 also utilised Jaguar's in-house developed "Fusion" alloy where high-strength aluminium is sandwiched between layers of alloy. It allows panel thicknesses to be reduced by 10 per cent, reducing weight and increasing strength of the its structure.[21] Jaguar says that more than 50 per cent of its body structure is built on recycled aluminium.[31][32][33]

Once the foundational design was established, designers had spent the next six months continuously designing and developing. Callum and Thomson had other responsibilities, however they monitored the team's progress on a daily basis.[21] By November 2006, the design was chosen and was ready to be developed further. Through 2007 and for the first half of 2008, a single unit was designed for the final sign-off. The design had underwent several CAD stages, and full-size clay models were made to present to the Jaguar board.[21] Prototypes of the X351 were produced and tested across the world in hot, dry, humid, wet, cold, and freezing climates.[34] According to Callum, the outdated styling of the XJ has severely reduced sales, meaning for considerably lower figures than the smaller XF.[34] While testing, Mike Cross, Jaguar's Chief Engineer of Vehicle Integrity, had praised the XJ's superior handling.[21] Jaguar had desired to make the 135 mm (5.3 in) longer LWB model has similar as possible to the short-wheelbase variant.[21]

The X351 was also tested on the Nürburgring track and on other tracks in the UK and US. Designers had specifically focused on weight, due to Jaguar's decision to make both SWB and LWB models as similar as possible. The LWB weighs 20 kg (44 lb) more than the short model; this was because of extensive use of aluminium and magnesium to construct the XJ, which had resulted in little difference in weight between the two models.[21] Cross had stated that any extra weight is caused by rear air springs and the Adaptive Dynamics suspension system.[21][35]

To launch the X351, Jaguar had chosen the Saatchi Gallery in London on 9 July 2009.[36] Jaguar had invited more than 500 guests, including television host and comedian Jay Leno.[37][38][39] The event was broadcast live on the Jaguar website. The US model was unveiled at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.[40]

Design

In addition to the standard version with a 3,035 mm (119.5 in) wheelbase, a long-wheelbase version was available with a 3,160 mm (124 in) wheelbase.[41] At the 2010 Moscow Motor Show, a high security version of the car called the XJ Sentinel was introduced.[42][43] This model is an armoured version of the LWB XJ with B7-level ballistic protection as well as providing protection against 15 kg (33 lb) TNT or other explosives. It features the 5.0 L supercharged V8 engine shared with the XJ Supersport, having a power output of 510 PS (375 kW) and 19-inch wheels with Dunlop Self Supporting Technology run-flat tyres.[44] Unlike other full-size luxury cars, the long-wheelbase variant was designed first and was expected to make up 67 per cent of sales in the US market.[45] Unlike the XF, or the XE which had came five years after, the XJ introduces newly-designed rear features wrap-over taillamps, unique to any Jaguar vehicles.[21] The glass roof utilises specially-toughened and heavy-duty film, which is bonded to the lower surfaces.[46] The XJ features a concealed aluminium panel, which stretches across the XJ above the rear-seat passengers to add strength to the bodyshell for extra security.Cite error: Invalid parameter in <ref> tag At the time, the XJ was crowned one of the most aerodynamically efficient Jaguars at a figure of 0.29 C d.[47] As well as reduced drag and relatively low noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), its exterior design achieves aerodynamic loads that are balanced between front and rear axles to ensure optimum handling balance and high-speed stability.[47]

The XJ offers a boot space ranging from 479 litres (16.9 cu ft) to 520 litres (18 cu ft), larger than the G11 BMW 7 and the D5 Audi A8, however smaller than the W222 Mercedes-Benz S-Class.[48][49] The air vents are made of solid metal, while the doors are made of polished wood veneer.[49] For the standard wheelbase XJ in the front row, headroom is rated at 39.5 in (1,000 mm), while legroom is rated at 41.5 in (1,050 mm). For the rear row on the standard wheelbase model, headroom is rated at 37.2 in (940 mm), while legroom is rated at 38.9 in (990 mm).[50] LWB models offer 4.7 in (12 cm) more legroom than the standard model.[49] Mark Phillips had stated that the interior was inspired by the 2001 Jaguar R-Coupe concept. Jaguar had moved the dashboard down by about 50 mm (2.0 in), which had allowed for a low-slung design.[21] The XJ features a near-perfect weight distribution of 51 front, 49 rear.[51]

The most significant change is reversion to steel coil springs for the front suspension, retaining air suspension for the rear only. Continuously variable damping is electronically controlled as before but with driver selectable modes.[52][53] The aluminium unibody chassis makes the XJL one of the lightest of the F-segment saloons despite its exterior proportions, weighing in at 1,874 kg (4,131 lb), which is 111 kg (245 lb) lighter than the smaller BMW 550i.[45]

Chronology
PredecessorJaguar S-Type
SuccessorJaguar XF (X260)

X250 is the internal designation for the first generation of the Jaguar XF, an executive car produced by British luxury manufacturer Jaguar Cars, later known as Jaguar Land Rover from 2013. Produced from November 2007, it replaces the 1999–2007 Jaguar S-Type, and was replaced by the X260 in July 2015. The XF was launched at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, following the public showing of the C-XF concept in January 2007 at the North American International Auto Show. Customer deliveries had commenced in March 2008. Developed at the Castle Bromwich Assembly in Birmingham, the X250's design was directed by Ian Callum. Utilising the DEW98 platform, which is a rear-wheel drive mid-size platform, developed by Ford of which its predecessor had used, the XF is mechanically a new iteration of the S-Type—not an entirely new vehicle.[6]

As opposed to the previous model, the X250 XF is available in an all-wheel drive configuration, as well as a standard rear-wheel drive system. Retaining its 2,909 mm (114.5 in) wheelbase from the S-Type, the range is comprised of petrol and diesel engines that feature either an inline-four, V6, or V8 engine configuration. Initially available only as a saloon, Jaguar had introduced a second model in March 2012, designated the "Sportbrake", which had represented Jaguar's second series production estate after the X-Type.[7] The 3.0-litre V6 engine is carried over from the S-Type; however, power output is increased by 5 kW (6.7 hp) for an output of 180 kW (240 hp) and 293 N⋅m (216 lbf⋅ft).[8]
