Description
Like several of its predecessors, the X351 is available in both standard and long-wheelbase form, as well as many special editions. Engines are modern units already seen in other JLR products: the 5. 0-litre petrol V8 either normally aspirated or supercharged, or a 3. 0-litre diesel twin-turbocharged V6. For 2013, a 3. 0-litre supercharged V6 was introduced to the line-up, primarily as an alternative to the diesel unit for improved fuel economy.
The X351 received a minor face lift in 2014, primarily upgrading the suspension and rear seat facilities on the long wheelbase versions, but also introducing small cosmetic changes across the range, and making stop-start technology standard on all engines.
The X351 received another face lift in 2015, adding LED headlights, J-Blade rear taillights, and adding several new driver assistance and safety features such as lane assist, adaptive cruise control with a new feature known as "Queue assist", reverse traffic direction, closing vehicle sensing, a 360 degree camera system, and semi-automated parking features.
The X351 is one of the cars used by the British royal family and an armoured version was used for transporting three former UK Prime Ministers namely David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson. The Prime Ministerial Car, aside from having classified security measures, has armoured under plates and engine plates.
This stunning example arrives with ivory quilted leather seats, Meridian branded sound system, digital audio broadcast, front seats with memory function, heated steering wheel, adaptive LED headlamps, heated front windscreen, heated/ cooled front and rear seats, auto high-beam assist, ebony carpets, Jaguar leaper headrest badge, incontrol apps, infotainment screen, jet contrast stitching, 4-zone aircon, air quality sensing, Bluetooth, silver Jaguar embossed brake calipers, cruise control, extended leather, front parking aid, suedecloth headlining, illuminated vents, ivory headliner, JDO winter dynamic mode, keyless entry and LDW & lane keep assist.
Jaguar XJ's have always been known for the luxurious interiors and comfortable cabins. The X351 is no different in offering a superb experience for driver and accompanying passengers. From factory build our XJ was opted with the ivory quilted leather seating with the black leather dash and leather door cards. The centre armrest and steering wheel are trimmed in contrast black leather, with our example also having ebony carpets.
The exterior of our XJ50 Anniversary is presented in Dark Sapphire Blue which looks wonderful from all angles.
