The Jaguar XJ is a series of mid-size/full-size luxury cars produced by British automobile manufacturer Jaguar Cars (becoming Jaguar Land Rover in 2013) from 1968 to 2019. It was produced across five basic platform generations (debuting in 1968, 1986, 1994, 2003, and 2009) with various updated derivatives of each. From 1970, it was Jaguar's flagship four-door model. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have been designed under the leadership of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder, and the model has been featured in countless media and high-profile appearances.^[4]

All three cars are also lavishly equipped with the most sybaritic conveniences, ranging from a power sunshade in the backlight of the Mercedes to the standard navigation system in the M5 to the umbrella that comes with every XJR. All three cars are even priced on top of one another, with their 70-or-so-grand base prices varying by no more than $3072."

The wide front console and expansive instrument panel encroach somewhat on front-passenger living room, while the downright-tight confines of the rear compartment will make full-car riders scrunch up extra close."
