Jaguar XJ maintains its iconic status

Jaguar XJ, one of the most popular luxury sedans in the world market, has been launched in a new and upgraded version recently. The XJ has been one of the most iconic cars in the Jaguar's global portfolio. Though the model has been through a series of modifications and advancements since the introduction of this car to the world market in year 1968, but the 2011 XJ marks the company's entry into a new era of designing and styling and at the same time has bid adieu to the trademark cues of Jaguar cars such as traditional grille, sculptured hood, a long tail and low belt-line. The new jaguar is a perfect combination of flamboyancy and modernization that carries an unfettered expression of luxury.
