Detailed analysis of the Jaguar XJ 3.0D Ultimate Largo · 275 CV (2012-2013)
General description
The Jaguar XJ 3.0D Ultimate Long is not just a car; it is the ultimate expression of British luxury and opulence of its time. Conceived as a representative saloon to be enjoyed both at the wheel and, above all, in its exquisite rear seats, this vehicle represented the pinnacle of the XJ range, combining a breathtaking design with a surprisingly energetic and efficient diesel engine.
Driving experience
Driving the XJ Long is to feel serene power. Its 275 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque move its considerable size with disarming agility and force, all wrapped in almost absolute silence. The air suspension isolates you from the outside world, creating a magic carpet that floats over the asphalt. However, the real experience lies in traveling in the back, in a space that feels more like a private jet than a car, where comfort and tranquility reach a new dimension.
Design and aesthetics
This XJ broke the mold. It abandoned the classicism of its predecessors for a bold, fluid, and aerodynamic silhouette, almost like a four-door coupé. Its very long wheelbase in the Long version accentuates its elegance and presence, while details like the vertical rear lights give it a unique and unmistakable personality. It is a design that conveys movement even when stationary, a rolling sculpture that masterfully fuses modernity with opulence.
Technology and features
For its time, the XJ Ultimate was a technological showcase focused on on-board well-being. The attention to detail in the rear seats was sublime, with individual electric, heated, and massaging seats, folding tables, and a dedicated entertainment system. For the driver, the 8-speed automatic gearbox and the Stop & Start system in a V6 diesel engine were cutting-edge elements that sought a perfect balance between performance and consumption.
Competition
In the Olympus of large luxury saloons, the Jaguar XJ Ultimate Long faced the all-powerful German trinity: the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the BMW 7 Series, and the Audi A8, all in their long-wheelbase versions. While its German competitors often boasted more overwhelming technology, the XJ counterattacked with a secret weapon: an unparalleled soul and charisma, a more passionate design, and a driving experience that did not renounce dynamism.
Conclusion
The Jaguar XJ Ultimate Long is a gem for connoisseurs, a vehicle that celebrates luxury in a different, more emotional way with a markedly British character. It is the perfect symbiosis between a representative saloon and a high-performance grand tourer. A car that not only takes you to your destination but turns every kilometer into a special occasion, leaving an indelible mark on whoever drives it and, especially, on whoever has the privilege of being driven in it.
