The advanced Jaguar XJ has been
recognised for its efficiency as it scooped the 'Most Surprisingly
Economical' honour at the inaugural Honest John Awards.
During testing by Honest John over a
distance of 692-miles, the XJ, powered by a refined and highly efficient
3.0 V6 diesel engine, exceeded the claimed combined consumption figure
of 39.2 mpg with ease.
Capable of travelling over 700-miles on
a single tank of diesel, the XJ makes extensive use of aluminium in its
chassis structure, reducing mass and driving up efficiency.
Geoff Cousins, Managing Director,
Jaguar UK, commented: 'I'm pleased to be able to add this accolade from
Honest John to the XJ's credentials. In the XJ we have successfully
created an economical car without compromising the quality, luxury and
sports car-like drive that our customers want to enjoy in their Jaguar.'
Launched in 2010, the XJ immediately
established itself among the top sellers in its segment, a situation
it's built on in recent months, posting a significant margin in terms of
sales between it and its nearest competitor. A rear-seat comfort option
pack has been introduced for 2011 that includes reclining seats,
four-way adjustment for the lower back, a massage feature, footrests and
winged headrests.
The XJ is priced from £55,515
