Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6 (X351) - Affordable luxury meets daily driver - BEARDS n CARS

  • The X351 generation Jaguar XJ was a radical design departure from its flagship predecessors, with a distinctly more 'European' slant to its styling. This combined with strong engine choices from a 3.0 diesel Portfolio like this one, to the undervalued powerhouse that is the XJR means that they are outstanding bargains on the used market.
    In this particular case, lovely interior design and imposing road presence meets surprisingly strong economy and a no-nonsense approach to driving...

    I bought an XJ portfolio two years ago and still love the car. The 3ltr diesel makes driving effortless and a pure pleasure. The power is incredible for an oil burner with suprising economy. So much more stylish than the German competition and less common!

      Have had the car three years, one problem, needed to replace the small battery. Two batteries located in the boot, one is the main car battery the other specific to the stop/start feature, that is the one I replaced, cost £80 and all is well with the stop/start since. Other than that I have an intermittent fault with a rear door lock. The car is a 2013 and has covered 54k miles. In my mind a very reliable car.

      No idea on the price for replacement of main battery, but smaller battery cost £80.
      In 2015 Jag uprated the poer to 296bhp, not much gained on performance but better fuel economy. I take mine to an independent garage, Jag too expensive.
      I love my XJ, hope you have a good experience.

    jagvsjag I live in Australia. I have an xX350 3.5litre which is truly great. A 4.2 litre would be even better. I have wondered about also buying an x351. The X350 is a big car but largely drives like a smaller car until you put it into a parking spot. My main reservation is the X351's size. It looks huge . At 6 ft headroom is not too bad but would prefer not to have the sun roof and gain more body strength. Considered pros and cons of the diesel . I would prefer to avoid turbos and superchargers. The 5 litre V8 is just a little large. Unfortunate there was not a 4.2 litre model Design would lend itself to a hatchback/ Delighted with the interior. Exterior makes the car stand out in the crowd and certainly one of the sleekest . Space saver spare tyres are not popular here. Long distances to cover. Do a sidewall between towns on a space saver and could find yourself alone in the middle of nowhere. Replacing a space saver tyre in a country town is simply not going to happen. Liked the reviewl. Very informative. Thank you TJH

    Nice and honest review. I have owned a 2018 XJ Portfolio with all the bells and whistles for the last couple of years and I have also driven an early model like the one you are testing here. The changes are pretty noticeable between the two. Especially on the engine and tech front, but also on the sound system and ride quality. No change to the headspace, but for a 5 ft 11 guy like myself it’s no issue at all. I think a fair comparison would be between the 2018+ version of the X351 and the X358, given they both are the final and most refined iterations of each model and truly represent a generational gap. Thanks for the video and looking forward to the next one.

    I've been bingeing these Jag videos as starting to look around now. Would love the 5l xk but practicality needs means I'm probably looking at either the 5l xf or 5l xj. I'm torn between the fun of the xf and the look and presence of the xj. Any thoughts on that. Great reviews btw, subscribed!

    • @HSGAutomotive
      @HSGAutomotive  2 роки тому +3

      I love both, but they definitely offer different advantages. If you care more about a tighter, more performance oriented ride and sharper looks then go XFR. If you want even more space, ride on a cloud and more of a lazy old school muscle car approach to an engine, then go XJR. But that's the X350 shape XJ I'm talking about. These newer XJ's are more similar to the XF. New money style. I find the headroom to be less in these than the XFR though

I've owned a ton of Jaguars (XK, XJ6, 2 x S-Types, XJ 350, X-Type, XFR and now an XJ 351 3.0 SC AWD.... The build quality and ride of the XJ is just miles ahead of my last cat, the XFR.. My $0.02!!!

    Basically it looks like a Mondeo. That traditional Jaguar styling elegance completely went away and instead we got... this. I don't know if it's a better car or not, but as looks are very important to me and I like classic cars, I'd never buy a Jag newer than X358.

      It’s interesting how it plays with taste. I certainly prefer the back of the XJ over the XF, M5, S class, etc. For some reason this feels more timeless to me, whereas those other models are starting to feel dated.
