Locally manufactured petrol Jaguar XJ now at Rs.93.24 lakhs

Jaguar has launched a locally manufactured petrol powered version of its flagship saloon - XJ, priced at Rs.93.24 lakhs (ex-showroom Mumbai, pre-octroi).

The car will be powered by an i4 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol motor producing 237 bhp @ 5500 RPM and maximum torque of 340 Nm @ 1750 RPM; mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. For those curious about the mileage, this car manages to return an ARAI certified figure of 9.4 km/l.

This model will be available in the LWB Portfolio trim. As expected out of a car of this class, the XJ comes loaded with features such as electrically adjustable rear seats with massage function in three intensity settings, increased rear headroom, rear seat entertainment with two 25.9 cm (10.2) LCD screens, electric rear side window blinds, soft door close, 825 Watt Meridian surround audio system, LED reading lights in the rear and newly designed business tables in the rear.

Jaguar has been taking steps to price the XJ more competitively and recently had introduced a locally assembled version of the 3.0L diesel XJ sedan to take on the Mercedes S-Class, Audi A8 and the BMW 7-series.
