The Jaguar XJ40 series, introduced in 1986, represented a significant departure from its predecessors, blending modernity with the classic Jaguar luxury. The XJ40 was built on a new, more rigid platform, which improved ride quality and handling. The XJ6, a part of this series, was equipped with a refined 3.6-liter inline-six engine that offered a blend of performance and smoothness. Its design showcased a more aerodynamic profile with sharp, clean lines, reflecting Jaguar's shift towards contemporary styling while maintaining its traditional elegance. The interior was a testament to British craftsmanship, featuring luxurious leather upholstery, advanced electronics for its time, and a focus on driver comfort and convenience.
The XJ12, on the other hand, elevated the luxury experience to new heights within the XJ40 lineup. It was powered by a 5.3-liter V12 engine, which provided exceptional performance and a remarkably smooth ride. This engine option was a nod to Jaguar's rich heritage of engineering excellence and added an extra layer of refinement to the XJ40 series. The XJ12 catered to those seeking an even more opulent driving experience, offering an upgraded suspension system and enhanced interior features. Both the XJ6 and XJ12 were celebrated for their blend of performance, comfort, and style, continuing Jaguar's legacy of producing distinguished luxury sedans.
The XJ40 wasn't just another executive car. It was Jaguar's answer to the changing automotive landscape of the 1980s.
