Used 2004 Jaguar XJ Series
Buying Guide for the Jaguar XJ Series:
For more than three decades, the XJ Series has been the definitive
Jaguar sedan. Not to disrespect other car models or other
manufacturers, but to lay claim to this title is something
to truly be proud of. The 2004 Jaguar XJ Series is the seventh
generation incarnation of a vehicle that instantly reflects
its prestigious manufacturer’s name.
If you had any thoughts that Jaguars were perhaps an icon
of the past, think again. Working with the most advanced technologies
ever
Buying Guide for the by Jaguar, the XJ program team has crafted a car
that blends the ultra-modern with traditional Jaguar values.
Made of lightweight aluminum construction, the 2004 XJ Series
offers new levels of strength and ability, as well as all
the luxury one comes to expect from a Jaguar.
Under the Hood
Performance anxiety has never, nor will it ever be, a problem
for Jaguars. Entry-level XJ8 and mid-level Vanden Plas models
feature a 4.2-liter V8 engine with 294 horsepower at 6000
rpm and 303 lb-ft of torque at 4100 rpm. At the top is the
remarkable XJR, which offers a supercharged V8 of the same
dimensions. This beast is able to crank out 390 horsepower
at 6100 rpm and 399 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm.
Of course, the ride is going to be smooth and responsive.
A computer-controlled self-leveling suspension can claim partial
responsibility for this. Safety will never be problem with
the new XJ Series either, as all models have dual front airbags,
front side airbags, curtain side airbags, antilock 4-wheel
disc brakes with brake assist, an antiskid system and a rear-obstacle-detection
system.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
Under all the glory and all the splendid refinement, the
2004 Jaguar XJ Series remains a meticulously crafted vehicle.
In addition to its new, lightweight frame, XJ models are also
sturdier and tougher than ever before. A magnesium cross-car
beam—as strong as aluminum but 30 per cent lighter again—supports
the fascia, instrument panel and is combined with aluminum
to produce a lightweight steering column.
There are standard features and gadgets galore, as one would
expect. Leather upholstery, wood interior trim, air conditioning
with dual-zone automatic climate controls, a memory system
(driver seat, mirrors, steering wheel, pedals), power windows,
door locks and sunroof and a AM/FM/CD player are just a fraction
of what comes with the base XJ8. The Vanden Plas adds heated
front and rear seats, an Alpine sound system, a 6-disc CD
changer, a power rear sunshade and lamb's-wool floormats.
As if that’s not enough, the top-line XJR even has a heated
steering wheel. Remarkably, there is room for options like
a navigation system and a front-obstacle detection system.
