Jaguar has made a nice comeback the last few years. Love their cars and the brand. This car in particular is just gorgeous. My dads partner drives one and i cant express what a boss car it is....

[@Mtnplay]

I have a 2012 Jag XJL Portfolio, and its the best car I have ever owned. I'm 45 years old, divorced, and I feel totally comfortable driving this car where I used to perceive Jags as stodgy. I look at an S class or a 7 and think you can have it. The interior is beautiful and luxurious, and the engine is over the top. I love the car. It has had zero problems. I'm a big fan and I have owned some very nice cars, highly recommended.

[@bballbrc]

Mentioning that you are divorce has no relevance...other than that...i agree with you

[@rajanpatil6208]

[@allanmacbadger5692]

Mentioning he's divorced means he's in the man club and can enjoy himself without being nagged.

[@mmacphersonn]

Wes S sorry but you fit the jaguar owner personality... are you by any chance a lawyer fighting with your ex wife for full custody of your four kids and the 500,000 dollar house along with anything and everything she has? That would make you the most suited person to drive a jag

[@Xarazith75]

i really like the way you've been speaking your reviews lately. it sounds much more relaxed, yet even more professional

[@Liteskinxo]

This car was ahead of its time. 11 years later i still turn around when an XJ passes by me. It’s too beautiful

[@LeistungDrehmoment]

that's probably the whole point. he gives everyone an inside look at cars most of us will never get to even TOUCH.

It is a type of locking lug nut. You need a key in order to take the wheel off. It is used to stop theft of the rims.

[@ryansauto93]

Beautiful car! If I was in the market for a big executive car, I would definitely choose the Jag over an S-Class or 7-series

[@AbsoloutelyNothing]

The exhaust note is simply amazing. Basically it comes to prove you don't need a V8 anymore.

People think the car is Made in India because it is owned by Tata Motors, to all who say that, you are wrong, it is made in Castle Bromwich which is in Birmingham.

[@2pkjs1351]

You British people need to calm down about the American way of pronouncing Jaguar , it's our accent smh.

[@chumpsquad9479]

We hate the way Brits say it too, "jag-u-waaa"

[@2013branth]

Shoaib K Not really, I've heard Americans pronounce Jaguar correctly. It has nothing to do with the accent, more like not being taught enunciation.

[@the80386]

American has a bad tendency of saying it jag-wire. no idea how they land on that pronunciation given the spelling. But then again, their aluminium pronunciation doesn't make sense either.

[@2013branth]

zeebazu The aluminium turned aluminum is a result of a misspelling from what I've heard. Just be happy they didn't mess up the spelling for the other elements ending "ium". Titanum, uranum, plutonum etc. Nightmarish.

[@weirdshibainu]

I own an S550 and I want to trade it in for another luxury car like the audi s8, Maserati quattroporte, Aston Martin Rapide, or the Jaguar xj supercharged. Which one do you guys think is best ?

[@boostseason]

I'm sure you get this question a lot and sorry if I'm asking again, but when a car dealership want's you to review a car, how does that work? do they just simply call you up and say, "come review this car!" or whatever. or do you ask them, "hey, can I review this?" etc. just out of curiosity. thanks, love the reviews!

[@CLOISERIE]

I'M READY TO START MY SUMMER OFF WITH THE PORTFOLIO 3.0, THANK YOU KYLE.

[@MiyuruWeerarathna]

Jaguar back to form!

[@ratmtbola]

Not talking about beauty here. That's always an objective thing. Even though I personally also prefer the looks of the XJ over those of the S-Class. But talking about the car itself, its technology and especially its luxury, which is what defines cars in this segment, the S-Class is the undisputed king.

[@NikoBell12]

I saw two of these at the AFB today. One black and then one white like this. Very beautiful car in person.

[@AdonisTonga]

Wow very nice, it has almost a different type of luxurious feel, a definite choice Instead of the German rivals.

[@MrDjamison]

Trust me it is no actual rivalry at all an s550 obliterates this car on any level not to mention the other 2 😂

[@Bossgamer9000]

I saw 4 of these on the street in Pensacola, Florida. You should come visit to see some of your other fans here. :)

[@MJJSmoothCriminal]

love this car!

[@nathaliegreve5101]

I like the hazards sounds :)

[@JosephJonesJRJ]

Just rented this car (a 2014 model, black on black with dark brown wood veneer) on a business trip in LA. My thoughts based on a couple days of driving it: Gorgeous on the outside, but the interior feels insufficiently "special" for a ~$95K car. The materials are nice but unexceptional, but I really like the way the shape of the leather-covered dashboard makes it feel like a much smaller car than it is, but it's not up to the level of the competition (S Class Mercedes, Lexus LS, etc.) Some of the switchgear and the infotainment system feel kind of parts-binny. The stereo sounds phenomenal-- roughly as good in terms of accuracy as the Mark Levinson system in my old Lexus SC 430, but with a bit more low-end punch. Dramatically better than my old Mercedes V12 CL's stereo. Very nice. The car feels under-powered for its class, I think there is a bigger engine available, frankly, this car needs it. (Did I mention this is a huge car?) The seat massagers are on par with the $2-3K massage chairs at a typical Brookstone. If you're spending this kind of money on a big sedan, get a Tesla or an S Class unless you're just in love with the shape of the Jag (which is understandable.)

[@Golftime123]

Joseph Jones a Tesla? You can’t be serious.

[@craigchance7643]

No Lexus, you can’t be serious that’s a chromed up Toyota

[@SamnissArandeen]

"Portfolio" sounds like royalty. Is this car royalty?

[@saidgrc]

[@CarAddictGarage]

Our house only cost us $50,000...not saying it is the nicest house, but it was all we could afford at the time! Don't get me wrong....love the car, but too pricey for me.

Отличный обзор, единственным минусом является вставки фото ... (Great review, the only drawback is to insert a photo ...)

[@nurburgringexplorer]

Very comprehensive review

[@vika0194]

well, they wanted to develop their company and add new production cars to the market, like the xj and f-type. But they needed more money for that. So they needed an investment and Tata decided to invest in Jaguar/Landrover

[@joshuarynd]

gorgeous car!

[@snibborcire]

Have a 2006 Vanden Plas with 70K on it. I average 22 mpg and have so far only had to do routine maintenance. Beginning to warm up to the new look..., thanks for ALL your great reviews!

[@CyberOptical]

Awesome review man, If possible, can you do the 2010-2013 Scion Xd? That would be awesome

[@kma198199]

The curb weight and gearing have a lot to do with it, I'm sure.

[@squeakD]

Geez.., maybe it's just me, but there comes a point when an automaker goes overboard with the technology in today's vehicles. I'm all for a nice well crafted luxury car that offers modern ammentities, but sweet Jesus! IMO Jag went over the deep end with this one in technology. It's a beautiful car, but damn the amount of reading required to LEARN how to use a new car these days is unreal. Hell, I got a DVD manual (in addition to the hard copy) with my latest 2013 car purchase.

[@СашаЖиха]

THIS IS THE BOMB

[@FH99]

I like the interior. The ivory seats look very nice with the piano black veneer trim on the dash. Between that and the metal accents, it makes the overall interior look very elegent.

[@elmerescobar433]

Just picked up a 2014 XJ L Supercharged yesterday. I am loving this car. I love how much info there is out there so I didnt feel blind buying it

[@sebfriday5114]

Elmer Escobar you still like it? just curious

[@elmerescobar433]

Sorry for the late reply! Didn't see this (changing youtube settings now to alert me). LOVING it still. The long wheel base can be a tad more work to park sometimes but with the backup camera it's still very very doable. I've put about 10k on it and it's still a beautiful place to sit every time I drive it. ONLY thing I would complain about Jaguar is costumer service. It's really lacking in comparison to Mercedes which I had before. And btw, I'm 32 so I don't see too many people my age in them lol

[@davideselvi3906]

@@elmerescobar433 My biggest congratulations to you man!!! At the moment I own a BMW 3 series MY 19 but I plan to change it within 6 years with a hugely depreciated XJ!! Possibly the longest version just like yours!! Is it true that if you want to purchase an XJ, you should get the LWB because in the SWB the rear space is not so big? Thanks a lot

[@elmerescobar433]

@@davideselvi3906 So after 2-3 years of ownership I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't in good conscious recommend this to anyone. I bought it with 29k on the odometer. When I sold it around 55k it had been to the shop easily 5-6 times. One time I got it back from the dealership, they "fixed the issue", I drove it one day, it exploded coolant everywhere again, sent it back, cost me 1500 to fix. Then it was issue after issue. The last straw was the AC going out right after I got it back and it took 3 weeks to fix, with no loaner from the dealer. The dealership experience is the worst and the car breaking down so much makes you deal with them a lot. As much as I loved it and as stylish as it is, I would never buy a Jaguar again. Do yourself a favor and get a Lexus, you wont regret it

limits speed, sometimes reduces boost or throttle input, locks out manual shifting, locks the trunk, it depends on the car.

[@ThomasWilliams89]

yep, the old XJ is classic Jaguar. This is nice, but the previous XJ was an icon for the Jaguar brand. It was different to the typical S Class/7 Series and that's what made it stand out.

[@f-u-nkyf-u-ntime]

I have a SWB 3.0ltr supercharged portfolio, it isn't 4WD and it's in blue with the cream two tone interior. My fuel economy averages 31mpg combined. For those watching this and wondering how it drives, I can only describe it as sublime. The power is more than adequate at 340bhp and the torque at 330ftlbs provides good pull at low RPM. The feel of the car at any speed is like no other I've driven, it somehow manages to combine magic carpet smoothness with sure footedness and flat cornering even at speed that fills you with confidence. It's a big car but it wraps around you as a driver and feels light and tight. When you drive it you know you have the power and poise to handle any situation you may encounter and the confidence it gives you is second to none. Above all though when you drive it you feel special. There's not many on the road and it's stunning looks and presence really make you feel king of the road. I fall in love with it anew every time I get in it and fire up the supercharged engine.

[@shahaadya8]

a guy who affords this type of cars goes directly to the showroom but us who cannot stay home and bite our nails thinking WOWWWW

[@derbigpr500]

True. I think the digital gauges in this car are the worst part of the interior. It just looks cheaper than some well detailed, properly made analog gauges. BMW does it best. They combine the analog and digital.

[@AbsoloutelyNothing]

Of course a V8 has a different sound - its a different engine. But what I meant was that if you desire a nice engine sound, you can still get it from a V6. Also, it wouldn't make sense to tell me to check out an F-type to compare the engine sounds because a sports car and a luxury sedan are set up very differently. That's like comparing a Rolls-Royce's V12 to the Lamborghini Aventador's V12 - extremely different.

[@my64impala1]

It's the smart key system so the door only unlocks if you have the key

[@1rustyb]

On the seat controls, the reclining knob, if you pull that up, that's how you raise and lower the power headrest.

This is a great car against the 7-series, A8, s-class, and Lexus LS. You can get 510 horses for just over $100k where it cost atleast $130k for a 760li, A8 W12/S8, S63/600.

[@pharbi1]

i am a jaguar master tech and as yet have not seen this model, but can assure you they are the model to buy. i love the brand

[@banddude121]

I'm assuming since this car is a luxury focused car, it would unstable due to the softness of the suspension. Hit a bump and the car would lose stability thus making you crash. That is my guess.

[@kma198199]

Good point, but let me rephrase that. Why is a 70k+ car still only capable of 6 mph more than a 14k car like my corolla? I cant think of any possible limitation on such an advanced automobile...

[@colenkas44]

Oh how I love this car

[@kma198199]

This may be the case. If I were an engineer on this car, I would have changed to spedo, which is completely digital, to reflect this limit.. 130 for a top speed would have been good.
