Jaguar’s top sedans come in two sizes. The base Jaguar XJ8 and XJR models ride a 113-inch wheelbase and measure 197.8 inches long overall. The Vanden Plas and Super V8 sedans are 4.9 inches longer in both dimensions, and both versions are 81.7 inches wide. Styling is highlighted by a long, low profile, with four round headlights and the signature Jaguar vertical-bar grille up front. Alloy wheels hold standard 16-inch tires, but larger tires are installed on higher-end models. A power sunroof tops the long list of standard equipment, which includes front and rear fog lamps.

High-grade leather and generous amounts of burl walnut wood trim combine to create an elegant motoring abode for five occupants, who also benefit from quite an array of comfort and convenience features. Most of the extra length on the long-wheelbase models is evident in the backseat, which qualifies as huge compared to standard-size XJs. Adults actually have room to cross their legs in the back of a stretched sedan, and wider rear doors ease entry and exit.

In base form, the XJ8 includes a six-CD changer, three-position memory system, 12-way power front seats, rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic climate control and a remote keyless entry system with an immobilizer. Posh comforts in Vanden Plas and Super V8 sedans include a wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel, premium Connolly Autolux Recaro leather upholstery, lamb’s wool floormats and burl walnut wood trim inlaid with Peruvian boxwood. Jaguar’s traditional walnut picnic trays fold out from the front seatbacks.

Cargo capacity is a meager 13 cubic feet for all models, though the trunk is squarely shaped. A standard reverse parking control system utilizes sensors in the rear bumper to detect when the car is close to hitting an object at the rear, which then sound an audible warning.
