Here's Why The Jaguar XJ is DEAD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2021
- The Jaguar XJ is a beautiful car ever since its introduction in 1968. Until 2010, the car had its redesign that really made the car look similar to all the other cars on the road, which wasn't a great idea. Why change something that was going well? Now, when Jaguar was nearing its release of the Jaguar XJ EV the new CEO ended production altogether.
Hopefully Jaguar will bring back the XJ with its historic styling cues in an EV form. That would be something else.

the Xj was the most beautiful-looking car ever- I can't believe they got rid of it...
I agree.
The new body style was garbage
@@manewhat901 not garbage but garbage in comparison to the old
Just bought an ‘08 xj van de plaid cherry low miles cream one of the best looking sedans on the road today
@@jonmcmahon7445 I’m jealous had to give up my black ‘04 to old age right as I got it, xj is literally the most uniquely beautiful car body on the road.
The Jaguar XJ succeeded in making it's German competitors in looking dull. I don't care if the technology in it is dated because I would still choose it over any modern gadget filled Tesla,Mercedes S Class or BMW seven series any day.
Most probably you are still using Blackberry over an iPhone or a Samsung
@@Tarooq239 nah i want my ipads when i need it, not slapped onto a refrigerator or in a car
@@Tarooq239 i still prefer blackberry
Jaguar XJL is a rare car, compared to Mercedes, BMW, those cars are overpriced, overrated taxis now, jaguar stayed true to their purpose and styling cues as a true luxury sedan. Everytime I see one, it's rare beauty...everyone stares. I love those saloons.

Jaguar cars are great,all they need is to do is to build them to the levels of refinements that are close to Bentley or Rolce Royce while still maintaining a competitive price.
I personally own a 2011-2012 XJ. The car is beautiful and it still turns heads even though its almost 12 years old.
I got a 2015 xjl still turns heads
My uncle bought one 2012 model. But he sold it because of hugh maintenance cost
@@nsn2284 like which engine it was v8 or v6
@@aliali20016516 V8
@@aliali20016516 it's really a cool and luxurious car but sadly not reliable. If you have much money and a good relation with a well experienced car workshop then it's not an issue.
My 2014 xjl supercharged model still looks great years after i bought it.. 7 years of ownership its only failed on the electric boot release..
I intend to keep it for many years to come..
that is good news!! I just picked one up a few days ago
The most beautiful full size sedan ever designed, no debate.
XJ was an absolute beauty, especially with those rear tail lights that made the german cars look dated.The XJR575 is a weapon and would want one over any rivaling luxury car today. It ousted the 7 Series and A8 by a landslide. If it was going to continue being the same crummy round lighted car for old grand dads, Jaguar will be dead today, and im glad Ian Callum updated and created a beautiful segment of cars when he did.
Now, while this new guy has scapped the XJ because it was trying to rival BMW Merc and Audi, they have now said their competition for 2025 onwards is infact Porsche and Bentley in the EV sector. If they could barely rival Merc BMW and Audi at the present, they now want to go against the even bigger leagues. Stupid move? Potentially....
Xj used to be one of the best until they changed the front light design.
If you owned an older XJ and an older SClass like me you probably agree that the XJ has way less problems and is easier and cheaper to work on
I love my 2013 XJL. It is stunning gets a lot of looks and it’s a wonderful road car. These will be missed
Can i buy your engine?🫣 the coolant caused damage and now I need to replace it. Just got it in March of this year. Car sat for 5m. Because i drove my other car only to find out the reset the dealership said was all that it needed before we bought it wasn't true and because I got sick and was unable to return quickly for them to reset it...... yea you know what they said, 30days after you leave the lot. Smh I'm so hurt
I own an XJ and absolutely love it. Beautiful car, hate it’s not coming back
They have put the nail in the coffin for the entire company. Jaguar is known for it’s sedans, The XJ NEW LOOK IS IMMACULATE!!! Best the sedan on the road, the new CEO is an idiot.
I was thinking that to.
I agree completely. XJ was wonderful.
I get compliments all the time with my 2008 XJ. It’s beautiful
The XJ does not mimick anything else
XL?
That's really sad. XJ was the only Jagg I'd ever buy.
Two cars I wish continued (style wise).
XJ & Cadillac. 😢
Best thing about Jag is getting a used one because depreciation is a used buyers friend
I have owned Porsche 911,s, BMW M cars, Mercedes, Corvette…nothing compares to my 2014 XJR-speed, handling, looks, smoothness, and it even gets 26 mpg on road trips and my friends love the a/c and massage in the rear seats! Only car I have liked as well was my 2007 Audi RS4 loved rowing the gears.
I’ve just bought a 16 MY XJ and it’s lovely. I’ve got a feeling that it’ll be refreshed in a 4 years time with its original look. Well that’s what I can anticipate as an employee of JLR 💡
That is so cool! What do you do at JLR?
As an owner from new of a 2018 Jaguar XJ Autobiography LWB I am keeping the car because I cannot find anything that has the same high standard of quality interior luxury finish. The car still looks modern despite inception in 2010. Has been utterly reliable to boot. Jaguar has lost me as a new car customer now as nothing in their current range I find appealing versus the XJ X351......what a shame they dropped the XJ all electric as I was looking to that as the next car.
Got my XJR100 3 weeks ago, and when I look at it and at the big SUV I feel the soul of Jaguar is belonging to the past .
I thought the XJ stopped being made in 2019
Yes, but they still were selling the stock they had. Jaguar intended to start selling the EV version in late 2020, but the new CEO scrapped the idea completely. The CEO recently came out with information as to why.
It’s interesting stuff that hasn’t really been shared here on YT yet.
This is one shit decision to discontinue XJ. It is one of the most beautiful car ever designed by jaguar ❤️
Just make the car with more reliable parts. Ppl speak highly of the designed but most ppl hear about the maintenance issues. Th xj was a quiet beast luxurious size speed power. A very boss look as well yet it’s still sporty
Jags aren't any less reliable than BMWs and are probably more reliable than most Audis.
@@insayn7995 which is insane considering the sticker price for these cars
@@insayn7995 bmw is not reliable lol
The XJ’s are very reliable. Just expensive to bring to a shop so you wanna DIY. Only gotta worry about the suspension everything won’t go out until 50k-100k just like any normal car. When that happens replace said part with one that has a lifetime warranty
@@AJ170 when in doubt go for a Lexus LS and lc
I honestly miss the XJ. I would have loved to see new, facelifted versions of it with the a new interior. Even till today, the last generation of XJ looks modern and stylish.
Jaguar was my dream car growing up, I finally got one and it was one of the biggest mistakes in my life. I spent more money fixing it then driving it. And the amount I spent fixing it was about half of what I purchased it for. And I drove a total of 15k miles
How much did you purchase it for? Was it used?
Should of got a warranty.
Good video I have an xjl I love my XJL are they discontinuing that model as well? Are only the XJ I noticed they're not using V8 is anymore does vehicles why is that?
When I sit in Jaguar - everything is just great from the beginning, comfy, and all at its place.
With Merc - you need to pay a huge extra and still won't sit properly.
The all wheel drive was also superb. It had it all.
I just cannot believe what I'm hearing.
In few cars can you drive 950 miles in one day and step out refreshed, get 29 mpg and average 80 miles an hour
The XJ was and still is a beauty. Expensive but so luxurious. However, used prices are now making it a good option over the German rivals
i've owned mercedes s and bmw 7 series sedans and none have compared to my 2004 jaguar xjr. in fact i'm beginning to look for a last model year collection special edition in racing green and biscuit interior piped in green with 470hp. or maybe even the 575 if i can find.
A shame I really liked this dynamic and cool CJ and it’s sporty mannerisms in its class. I’m not against SUVs (I’m perfectly alright with them being Daily drivers), but sometimes I feel the emphasis on them is destroying the character in the car market. When was the last time you saw a Mercedes SL with a sunset in the backdrop, or a sport couple carving through a mountain road that tests its abilities? Now it’s all just the same boxes on wheels, capable as sone of them are.
Box and rectangles are the name of the game 😂
I definitely agree though
My friends wife was working on the next gen electric XJ then it was cancelled
Ahh, hopefully he is working on their next electric lineup
I think Jaguar could end up back were they were a long time ago which is their competitors were selling thousands more cars than they were and they were loosing so much money. I'll be honest I'm not really sold on the whole battery cars are the future thing but I believe sometimes u may have to do what's selling not what u want to sell to survive, but I guess we will never know till it happens. Also ppl always JLR products are really unreliable and honestly they really aren't as bad as ppl make them out to be. I know friends who have like BMW and Mercedes and JLR vehicles and the german cars tend to have the problems where as the jaguars and land rovers have almost no problems, it's not what u drive its how u drive sometimes.
Im thinking to get a 11 years pre-owned XJ 3.0..is it worth to get and what need to check?
I bought a 2014 XJL with 125,000 miles for 9k on ebay. Spent about 1k on it getting it serviced and 2 new tyres and other various little fixes. Runs beautifully now. So smooth, worth it. It wasn't a Portfolio spec though the chap who bought it first added a few cool things like Massage seats etc.
I have the xj supercharged! Beautiful car and it for sure gets attention.
I have a 2015 xjl portfolio 20 inche factory kasuga still turns heads
Love my xj portfolio. I don't know what id have after this. I don't look at another car in envy. I literally wouldn't swap it for anything
Landrover Jaguar are owned by TATA Motors India 😍🇮🇳🔥
thanks for info
Thanks for the information! Good old English Car Industry I miss you! Bentley is now a VW, RR is a BMW and Jag goes Tesla. R.I.P. XJ ⚰
The xj was the best design of it's time. It's still a beautiful car. I'm buying a used one soon. Only problem is i looked at e at for a headlight to see what used prices would be for parts and one headlight was 1500 bucks. I could not believe it. But a beautiful car non the less
They screwed up with this last generation XJ. The previous XJ was beautiful and classy. The 2011 -2022 has that same grill and headlights as the XF. It does not have that elegance that Jaguar is known for!
Owned X-type, currently own 97 XJ6 (Flamenco red/tan leather, $123K mi) want to replace with 2009 XJ (last yr classic shape). Drifting to 2019 XJ but every time l see one it does nothing for me. Then l think but it has all the bells & whistles but it doesn't do anything for me. I see the classic Jags & my ❤ skips a beat. I love my car & l guess if something in life makes your heart skip a beat, it's worth keeping? To me the classic Jags are a masterpiece & l keep getting compliments. Yes, expensive to maintain but not a lemon. Parts become harder to find & most shops want quick turnaround.
I have a 2005 XJ6 Sovereign, best car I ever owned , it has 70k miles on it, black with cream leather. Jaguar used to mean you are driving something special, they lost that in 2010. The new XJ is not a bad car, I'm sure it great but is doesn't have that something special about it like my car has
I can bet a million you've never owned an XJ, or known anyone who has. You've never driven one - even for a Test drive at a Dealership or at the very least been inside one while it was moving.
You can never compare that car to anything by BMW or Mercedes - and I have personally owned both the 7series and the S Class. One thing I can tell you for free though is - Mercedes Benz new designs are now copying the XJ look.
The XJ is in a league of its own - that's why people who've owned an XJ always have a problem finding another sedan to upgrade to. Most of the time they just end up buying a newer model XJ, or SUV or just a 2 door drop-top.
The real problem JAGUAR has with this car is that it's too good - for its own good.
It's a known fact that most Car dealerships and manufacturers don't make money on the Front end - but rather make their money on the back end.
However, when a Client buys an XJ - they won't be buying another car for the next 7-10yrs, they won't even have a need to upgrade. This makes it almost impossible to get that Customer back in the door to buy again - or make a repeat purchase.
In this case, the only way the company can get a constant stream of revenue from the same client is to hike up the Prices for Parts, Repairs and Maintenance - which in turn not only leads to a high-levels of client dissatisfaction and a higher number of customer complaints, but also makes the Cost of Ownership insanely high - thereby making the XJ less attractive to potential new buyers, and less competitive in the market.
If this was only about low Sales numbers then TRUST me - JAGUAR could easily higher a large pool of Marketing and Advertising agencies to solve that problem.
This car was 🔥 not sure why sales declined
People didn't buy the XJ for all the tech stuff. They bought it based on the British elegance it exuded. The fact that it's not only luxurious , but a driver's car added to its appeal. People that like XJ's won't just turn around and think a BMW or Mercedes is automatically better. The XJ had its own special character, one that, in my opinion, makes the Mercedes look rather staid and boring. I still plan to get one. Used XJ's are such a bargain that it's just a no-brainer for me.
Won't they breakdown?
@@amritthind6654 Yes, Jaguar had a history of problems when they were owned by Ford from 1999 to 2008, when they were sold to Tata. Even with Ford was using a lot of plastic engine parts (go figure), they lost money. Tata continued to help Jag refine their cars, so they really got much better, I'd say, after 2012. This is when Jag brought in a lot of new features, like adaptive suspension, etc. Look for one with a service history and a return guarantee. Have a good mechanic check it out; you should be OK.
If i had money i would choose xj. It was dream car of mine and so beautiful especially the rear.
🤔🤔🤔 just watched a review on the 2022 XJ!
They lied to you
The 2003 -2009 Were the Best XJs. The 2005 2010 & 2015 2018 Mustangs was a Good Ideal.
I have a jaguar xj 2017 the car is amazing!but I want new design!
Is XJ L model even discontinued???
As far as we are told.
Tik Tok from Return To OZ, Is that you ?
Just got my life together to afford my dream car now it's gone. 😢
Your wrong the Jaguar XJ 351 is a fantastic looking car and turn's heads everywhere
i have xj8 2001 and i cant believe they changed their look ..liberally the best style of a car
The xj was the dream car for me. I have the xe and wanted the xj for my upgrade. Now i have to look at other brands. Im so sad.
Really sad they should make 2023 xj
Environmentally thinking across the globe is what causes this type of thinking. Since the 2013 version that offered a smaller engine to appease anti fossil fuel consumers, Jaguar has ran away from its heritage of being from the race track to the dealer showroom in style but still powerful. TaTa is looking at sales numbers over branding, Jaguar means elegants, exclusive, power and prestige, not seen on the road daily. When people see a Jag its always been a head turner. Now they what to make it as common as a Honda...SMH
What? The design language 2009 for xj was a superb success. The exhaust note will not be there in electric as its a v8 note.
nice mustache dude!
I love Jaguars but I will never buy an electric Jag. I have a 2013 XJ and I love it. It was a sad day indeed when the model was discontinued.
I want to get a x300 xj6 for a first car
Shame. I love my 16’ XF but XJL’s always catch my eye
LOVED THIS XJ! TOO MANY CARS ARE APPLIANCES/COMPUTERS ON WHEELS! DID'NT USE TO NEED ALL THIS STUFF TO DRIVE A DAMNED CAR! THE CEO IS WEAKSAUCE!
I am not the biggest fan of electric cars.
At the beginning of the video I talk about how the news of the XJ being discontinued isn't new news. The XJ was discontinued in late 2019 with plans to comeback in 2020 as an EV. I am just discussing why it has been discontinued completely in late 2020. In regards to the sells, Jag still sold their units in 2020. Even if Jag XJ still had average production numbers in 2021, they would still have sold less then the F-Type.
Also, I know I put dollar signs next to the number figures... lol. That was by accident.
I own xj8 1998 its a love affair! Love all xj ' s this era and pre
Very disappointed in Jaguar for getting rid of the XJ
@B Gerbs, I just purchased a 2012 XJ and I LOVE it!!!! I understand why you are disappointed!
I can't believe I sold my 2016 portfolio :(
i’m stunned i love the XJ and XJL i am a current XF owner and i eventually would love to upgrade to a XJ…now for me it won’t be a brand. new one but a beautiful used one dammit Jaguar..long live the XJ
Would be nice if the German CEO of Jaguar could pronounce the name correctly. Its JAGUAR not Jagwar!! Sir William Lyons would but him right!
I hate they falling away from the XJ Beautiful stunning automobile, one of greatest riding cars ever......
Love the jaguar xj (x358) model
I owned a 2010 XJ L Supersport until it sadly died. If Jaguar doesn’t want to make supercharged V8s or even an XJ at all anymore, that’s fine by me… I’ll just spend my money elsewhere. With a lot of tears in my eyes, but I’ll have to.
The XJ has a luxury to it but, if I had to choose between the XJ or the F-TYPE.. my heart leans towards the more economical one, so probably to he XF lol
The new Jaguar CEO will destroy the brand wait and see.
The Jaguar XJ x351 is the most beautiful luxury sedan ever made. Why the hell the new CEO want to get rid of it? What dumb ass! COngrats from Portugal.
I liked the XJL V8.
Theres no market for people to own a XJ , they go to bmw's and mercedes plus theres so many cars and models right now its hard to compete with anything special if you are competing to mass market wich a nich model like the XJ
What a shame the legendary XJ dead. Asap I will get the last version X358! A marvellous sedan. Now rubbish suv everywhere! The car industry is fucked
I hope you've woken up to the EV fraud Chris.
Still making them
If you are comparing the Jaguar XJ to a Ford Mach E (not going to call it a Mustang because it isn't one) or a Tesla, you are wayyyyy of. No way, no way whatsoever, a Tesla is a an ipod with wheels, it doesn't even approach the prestige or respect the Jaguar vrand commands
Undoubtedly, by God, the most beautiful car in the world 🌎 😢
my xj50 is a true head-turner. It's white and perfect. Rides like a dream and performs equally as well. Sorry they can't sell enough to make a killing but that's business. I get it. I'll hold my xj50.
I had the 2011 XJL beautiful car, but horribly engineered. The temperature sensor sits in coolant, if you have a coolant leak, guess what, your not getting a reading of the actual engine temp, this caused mine to overheat and blow. Head gasket. $12k-$16k repair. Ended up selling the car as is for $4k. Not worth the repair. Only had 70k miles. Never ever again will I buy a Jaguar.
It can’t compete with the BMW
So sad
Good, Jaguar ended their Heritage of the XJ in 2009. That's why it's dead ☠️. The XJ died in 2009 RIP
This guy simply has no idea what he's talking about.
XJ is by far the best looking car out there and I will keep my 2013 XJL over any BMW 😂
The XJ really died at the end of 2009 when the x358 was replaced by the x351. (Tin Hat now on). The x358 was the evolution of a classic which was killed off in all but name when the x351 replaced it. The classic XJ design should have been continually evolved because that design is more beautiful now than its ever been.
Disagree..
But, yet their cars are not too reliable! But the styling is SPOT ON! I considered getting a Jag, but everyone who I known who had one got rid of them in the warranty period cause it was in at the dealership more than they were actually driving their own car! They always had a loaner car!
flameio
Changing the look of the xj was a huge mistake , the old shape was beautiful and distictive the new one looked like anything could have been a toyota, lost its customer base. Idiots !
Thanks for wasting my time. U mentioned 0 reason why its dead besides the „sales numbers“. Wow! Congratz! Very informative…
Did you watch the video?
@@AutoMotivate yep, from first to last second!
@@hdyby4l930 why would you watch the entire video and blame me for waisting your time? Just because your don’t like/agree with my points does not mean your time has withered away.
I don't understand so much negetive media against JLR is it jealousy?
I don't know but i have seen so many
Negetive news all the time
@sudindesai Many of those people (many are in this thread) don't even OWN an XJ! It's ALWAYS "I have a friend who".... or "I know someone who"....
It's dead because people are morons and want a sports car with 4 doors and leather seats, not a luxury car. As a disabled person, getting in and out of an SUV, especially to drive it, is really difficult. Sedans work best for me. It's bad enough that luxury cars got rid of the fantastic velour seats in the early 90s and everything looks cheap now. But now every luxury car emphasizes handling and road feel and how fun it is to drive. It's not fun when you have rods in your back and have to take Tylenol every 6 hours because the "luxury" car rides like a Ferrari or Corvette. The XJ was one of the few cars out there with leather seats that was actually comfortable and had a nice ride. If you want a sports sedan, get a sports sedan. All I want is a really comfortable luxury car with a touch screen, soft seats and a smooth ride. They used to come with V6, V8 and V12 engines, not for power, but for overall smoothness. Now we've got the jerky acceleration of a V6 turbo, if that. The last Jag I saw had a 4 cylinder turbo engine and that's embarrassing. I don't mind electric engines so much as long as they're soft and smooth, but trying to find a true luxury car that isn't $200,000 is really frustrating. I bought an E-Class Mercedes and had to sell it because it was so stiff. A stiff Mercedes? What is going on here? Can we just please tell the 16 year old heirs and heiresses who mommy and daddy are buying a car for that the world doesn't revolve around them?
Engineering wise Germany r the best
Bro Jaguar xj is really ban in india
