Compared with the contemporary Mercedes Benz S-class and, the Jaguar XJ is a luxury car that focuses on driving experience and embodies a strong sense of technology. The current x351 Jaguar XJ, however, is relatively small compared with the German automobile enterprises, and the sales volume of XJ is flat, so this generation of car has been sold for nearly 10 years once it is launched, which belongs to the ultra long service cycle. But that is about to change. According to Jaguar's plan, a new generation of XJ models will be launched by the end of 2020, with the new design director, Julian Thomson, leading the styling design.

In the past, six, eight or even twelve cylinders were replaced by 2.0T. It is said that the new generation XJ may also have a gasoline engine, but it is an in-line six cylinder system
