310,000 miles. That’s incredible. And the condition of the car is fantastic. It’s a testament to the quality of the engines and engineering of the Jaguar. Who said JLR products don’t last!
To be fair, having worked in the motor trade for many years, I could say from experience that I have seen 10 times the amount of high mileage BMW's than I have Jaguars. Much rather have a 7 series BMW than one of these, as I like sitting in a modern quality interior, and not a 1970's drinks cabinet. German cars in this sector DO have a high quality interior, I think you're confusing 'quality' with 'chintzy', as that is how I have always experienced Jags.
@@DjNikGnashers BMW isn’t Chintzy? Have you seen the new 7 series with its folding down cinema screen, crystal dashboard & door trims and gigantic beaver tooth grill and split headlights? That car has absolutely zero class whatsoever, screams ‘look at me, I’m a Chinese businessman’. I would say the G11 is the last classy 7 series. The interior although a bit boring to look at, was well put together and overall the car is rather handsome. Shame BMW have lost their way completely.
@@TJW04 Yes the new XM is a disgusting piece of crap. Some of the newer BMW's are starting to get horrible styling I agree. The normal level 5 and 3 series are still very solid and decent inside and out. My main point was reliability, as the OP somehow thinks the brand which finished in the bottom 3 or ALL brands on every reliability survey of the past 10 years, is now somehow reliable just because he had one lucky experience.
I'm no expert with these vehicles but something about Jags always stuck out to me. When everyone wanted a merc/bmw as a child, I was the odd one out who wanted the Jag. Really gorgeous and unique cars.
As a massive lifelong Jag fan, I was never 100% over the x351, until I owned one. Absolutely incredible machines. I could never understand the back-end design, but I think it is based on the series 3 XJ with its triangular rear lights. Great video guys, thanks.
I own from brand new a 2018 model Jaguar XJL Autobiography - 67,000 miles. Best car in 47 years of high mileage I have ever owned. Beautiful inside and out. Reliable, dependable, 3.0 V6 Diesel utterly economical with great accelerartion and smooth Could not recommend more highly.
Bought one a few years back, bargain and beautiful build quality. Everyone wants a lift!! Only complaint is JLR dealers who are incompetent. Thankfully i have a specialist ....
the main reason to go for the L is the rear luxury space and the reference system that is specifically designed for the XJL. 27 speakers 1300w surround with several firsts in sound technology for an automobile.
Look at this car and try and convince me that the equivalent BMW/MERC/AUDI are better looking -YOU CAN'T -THIS CAR IS A STUNNER EVEN IN THE PITCH DARK LET ALONE DAYLIGHT - FROM ANY ANGLE !!. PS - I have an XF and as soon as i win the lottery I'm getting one of these beauties. These XJ/XF/F type models will age beautifully and attain the same design status as the E Type has in the coming years .
I absolutely love the rear of the car. Those vertical lights are stylish and make it look distinctive as opposed to the generic 'designs' but not 'style', of BMWs and Audis.
That just oozes luxury and comfort.. I'd so easily fall asleep in the back of that .. even on a journey to tesco from yours @kenny 🤣🤣 ... really like how your mixing it up with these kind of reviews 👌👌 keep on smashing it lads
That XJ looks far nicer then any newer BMW with those hideous front ends. BMW reliability is even worse then Jaguar and that is really saying something
The rest lights are meany to represent a scratch of a Jaguars claw, hence the three stripps of lights running the whole length of lights.. Can't remember where I've seen that for you to look it up...
@@elfedowen6452 They sadly changed the design to new led lights for the rear lights :/ The three strips design is from the 2010-2015 XJ (pre-facelift) I do prefer the old ones too though, even though I got a XJL 2016 Portfolio.
Thank you. Hope you are enjoying it. My dad couldn't stay away from Jaguar and only owned the Focus a short while before he realized his mistake. Thanks Ken
I own two BMWs, a manual 6-speed 530i E60 and an E39 M5. However, I still need to own Jags... - Mk2 - XJ-S - XJ12 S3 - X300 XJR - X308 XJR - X351 I worked at Jag as a development engineer for 10 years, so it's a company very close to my heart.
Thank you for sitting at the rear seats to illustrate the headroom. Ive always been sceptic about this car's enormous length but with mediocre interior room. Its not that bad tho. I really wanna get this but the roads in my country are really bad, the ground clearance.
Was thinking about buying one, but decided agains it due to the short comings of this vehicle. For an example, I have fairly long legs and need for the driver's seat to have the possibility to extend towards my knees when sitting. Also the car that I was looking at seemed that the buttons were melting. I found out that this was a more than common occurrence and is not what I expect from a "Luxury" vehicle. I also missed features as simple as a Heads-Up display that I think is not even provided on any XJ. All in all, I think that I will stick with my BMWs and Benzes.
The editing just gets better and better 👌 Another awesome review Kenny and Drew, I really do like a Jag so much quality and luxury 😈 But I'm bmw through and through 🤣🤣🤣👍🏴
Way nicer than ANY BMW which attract a certain type of person ⚠️ Jaaaags are for the more reserved distinguished folk who have nothing to prove 😅 XJ will be replacing my Rover 75 soon (250k miles never let me down since acquisition in 2007)
I had a BMW 740 it was the biggest disappointment. It was in the shop every month with some kind of problem. Finally had enough, so I turned it in for a jaguar XJL i’ve had it now for five years and never had single problem with it. It only goes in for its regular schedule maintenance. I highly recommend this vehicle not to mention. It is absolutely beautiful. It definitely gets a lot of attention from other drivers when they see it on the highway. I’m always getting a thumbs up, or when it’s parked I always see people looking at it.
Hi man how are you , what’s the year of your xj , how many miles it has . I am looking at 2011 xj super sport . 38000miles , I had x6 50i ,e71 m , totally nightmare , it hit a point that I am afraid to touch it hahahahah . What do you think of reliability of xj
I have a Jaguar XJl. I love it! Roomy, stylish, love the rear passenger entertainment package, fast, luxurious. A great travel car because it offers me 570 miles of range which supersedes any EV in America, giving me the ability to keep moving. The only way i would park my cat to travel is when the day comes the United States of America finally wakes up and builds american highspeed bullet train technology. The XJL is a gret car...
In fairness, We would love to review one I depth. We are only going on when Kenny & his father test drove a few 740Ds and compared them to the Jag. Thank you for watching! - Drew
Sorry Matt it shouldn't happen to the good guys but you mentioned brands that drop the ball regarding reliability living on a name from the past years. Are you thinking about expanding that thought with a video?
If you think the XJ isn't a great-looking car then you need a trip to Specsavers lol the back end is better looking than the front in my opinion, the XF like the XE are boring to look at, again my opinion, as for the BMW 7 series that's just as bad, BM trouble you's all look the same to me, I was next to what I thought was a 5 series but it was a 7. Every time I go to get into mine I look at it and think it's lovely. Each to their own I suppose, I used to think my Rover SD1 was a great-looking car and still do.
I drive the short wheel base V8 NA. There is no point buying these with a diesel or v6. Dont buy the supercharged v8, costst are too high. My monthly costs for my XJ are incl insurance and road tax are 190 euro´s. Its a bargain

67k high mileage ?.

Had mine (same silver as this) 6 months and just love it. Powerful, comfortable and economical. Beautiful... 🇬🇧

Bought mine brand new in 2017 and it’s the best car I’ve had. Zero issues
I absolutely love the rear of the car.

Its a beautiful car from every angle...greetings from Ferntree Gully. Australia
It sure is!
Thank you.

Completely agree! Ive always like Jaguar's styling, BMW on the other hand seem to have really lost their way.
Thank you for watching!

Having driven Jags all my life since my first I would never change it for a German car
Wow stunning car. Is that my wedding car for next year. If he keeps it long enough. Fantastic
You know where they're like Gav, there will be 6 more cars by then 😂
- Drew
I personally love every aspect of the XJ, especially the rear lights.

Hi guys, nice to see my Red Jag XF S being featured in your new video 😀
Thank you. Hope you are enjoying it. My dad couldn't stay away from Jaguar and only owned the Focus a short while before he realized his mistake.
Thanks

Yes very nice car and even better after it had a remap done earlier this year. it made a big difference.@@accelerateyoutube
DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE CAR. The XJL turns heads everywhere ‼️‼️
It really does! It is a very striking car!
Thank you for watching

I own two BMWs, a manual 6-speed 530i E60 and an E39 M5.
However, I still need to own Jags...
- Mk2
- XJ-S
- XJ12 S3
- X300 XJR
- X308 XJR
- X351
I worked at Jag as a development engineer for 10 years, so it's a company very close to my heart.
Undoubtedly, the most beautiful car in the world 🌎.
I faced the same question 5 years ago and I bought a 7series eventually. No regrets so far

Thanks

Great video. love an X351 - subscribed
What year is this lovely Autobiography?
What hasn’t been mentioned is this one’s done over 300k miles 😬
Very good review
Thank you! 🙏
- Drew
GREAT review, thanks
Best looking big sized sedan in the history of big sedans for me atleast! nothing comes close!
Most comfortable car ever.
Can you buy one of these in America? I've looked everywhere and I do mean everywhere! I can't find one here
That looks like a place you could just live in 🤣
I know! I want to do a road trip just so I can chill in the back and watch TV!

Unreal isn't it. Also for sale very soon.

You forgot to review the AutoPark or Park Assistant Feature
Back end would be more suited to being on a Citröen.
Well, let’s see you in the BMW40DL
In fairness, We would love to review one I depth. We are only going on when Kenny & his father test drove a few 740Ds and compared them to the Jag.

Sorry Matt it shouldn't happen to the good guys but you mentioned brands that drop the ball regarding reliability living on a name from the past years. Are you thinking about expanding that thought with a video?
Beautiful
If you think the XJ isn't a great-looking car then you need a trip to Specsavers lol the back end is better looking than the front in my opinion, the XF like the XE are boring to look at, again my opinion, as for the BMW 7 series that's just as bad, BM trouble you's all look the same to me, I was next to what I thought was a 5 series but it was a 7.
Every time I go to get into mine I look at it and think it's lovely. Each to their own I suppose, I used to think my Rover SD1 was a great-looking car and still do.
Is that mileage correct.. ?
Yes it is. Its going up fro sale next week.
Thanks
Ken
I drive the short wheel base V8 NA. There is no point buying these with a diesel or v6. Dont buy the supercharged v8, costst are too high. My monthly costs for my XJ are incl insurance and road tax are 190 euro´s. Its a bargain
Brilliant video🫶🏼
The XJL is not a BMW alternative... it's in a league of its own 😏
Where on earth has your dad been in 320k miles?!
I only do 5k a year 😊
Belle vidéo 👌 😉.Superbe voiture...Super . 🏴 🇫🇷 👍
Why ????
To have even bigger cost of repairs than 7series.
The mileage 😍💦
love from india !
Hey guys, just to let you know...in my opinion your voice tone is almost identical and you speak in a faster way therefor the video is a bit annoying
That is a stunning car. A future Jaguar classic and all the better for that lovely diesel V6. Germans look tired and boring in comparison.
You'd be stupid to compare a bmw 7 series to this car.. Basic man wagons, come on now

5.25 meters, not millimetres. 🙄
If you listen properly, Drew says '5255 millimeters' which equates to 5.25 meters.

Hell no. Don't buy! Unless you got money to blow.
If you dont think its a pretty car you need new eyes
India dude…no thanks
They are beautiful car, no doubt about. But the Jaguar is extremely unreliable.
Can't be that unreliable with 320k miles on ⚠️
BMW and Audi have fallen by the wayside by all accounts.
I'd buy anything over a bEEmer!
