2006 Jaguar XJR Detailed Full Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2018
- So I've owned this 2006 Jaguar XJ-R for a bit over 2 years and thought it was time to do a full review of the car. I show you the details of the exterior, trunk, interior and under the hood.
The XJR gets the 4.2L V8 that is supercharged so puts out 400 horsepower. This car is a blast to drive and really turns heads and gets attention.
My car is a 2006 but the car only had minor changes from 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. It was slightly refreshed the following year and then Jaguar completely refreshed the XJ flagship sedan for 2009 I believe it was.
This 06 Jag has the unmistakeable Jag look from the front. It has such fine craftsmanship and build quality. My car here has about 85,000 km which is a little under 54,000 miles after 12 years.
I hope you enjoy this full tour - walk around with a startup exhaust clip. If you like it, click the thumbs up and subscribe. Thanks for watching. - Авто та транспорт
![8 Things I Really Like About My Jaguar XJR [DRAGUAR]](/img/n.gif)
Your walk through of this car really hit home for me. My grandfather purchased a 04 version brand new. He only drove it on Sundays and kept it in mint condition. He passed in 2015 and the car still sits in his garage. My uncle had it professionally detailed and starts it on Sundays whenever he’s able to. He cries every time he does it, like a tribute to his dad. After watching your video, I get it now. This was ahead of its time and still by today’s standard is more equipped than most cars. Thank you for this video ❤️
Now that's a beautiful car. I'm a huge Mercedes fan and the only other luxury sedan I'd ever consider is the JAG. This car has hell of a lot more "spirit" than BMW and Audi.
Agree
I bought a 2009 xj vanden plas 3 yrs ago with 39k miles out of Miami. Love it. Never had a car like this b4. I ran it on 95 at 100mph. It felt like I was riding on air. It is blue with full chrome package. I have the side vents on it. Everywhere I go people stare, take pics of it. I get nods from people when I'm at the stop light etc. It's in mint condition. Happy with it & will never get rid of it. Thanks for ur review of this car. As far As I am concerned, it is the last true Jaguar they made.
I hear ya!
I have 2005 Xj vanden plas best car I have ever had, better than Bentley.
@@kenkalhor1273 Nothing like them
She's a beauty and has almost a timeless design.
Have 2006 jag xj8L with 26500 miles and such a magnificent ride!! ✌️♥️
I think it's one of the best exterior in the world
I have a 2005 XJ8 Sovereign 4.2 which I bought a month ago. Fantastic car to drive, sure footed and silent, mine has 300hp but can still pull away from most of the mundane boxes. Totally love it. Attention to detail is amazing with one of the best interiors you can find in any car today.
Andrew Hepburn I bought my 2005 XJ8 3 months ago and love it every moment every day I drive it.
WOW, It's the model I've always wanted.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! When Jaguar was a Jaguar as opposed to the new 2009 shape onwards, which completely destroyed its heritage. I am buying a 2006 XJ with only 77,000 miles on the clock in Black with leather ivory interior next month, only one owner, with full service history. My Dad and I are going halves on this and then we are going to keep it and sell it on as a classic in the next ten years. Can't wait to take delivery of the car.
Cool! 👍🏻
Jerry Cooper although I do love the new XJ’s, I agree with you. Those round, retro looking headlights and vehicle design is what made it a jag to me. They look like classic cars but modern made. I think that’s what makes them so sick and unique to me. These are by far my favorite jags ever. I’m going to buy one soon and I can’t wait
☀@@samschossig334*🌣 well🌠 i🌞 own a 2001 gold s-type V-8 4.0 L Like 18 years Now Luv it Luv It Luv It Luv IT Powerfull🌌 o🌉by the Way Win 24 car show'$ With it 2007 Twice, 2008, 2009🙄 But i Always Adore the S-type R and the XJR 2008 Models Confort plus portefolio edition xkr Lux edition F-type svr F-pace SVR E-pace-S for my Superwoman🌅🗺*
I commute with an X351 for reliability reasons, but would like to own one of these someday. These are just so old-school but timeless.
Indeed
I want my next Jag to be either an XJL with the 5.0 supercharged v8, or an XFR with the same engine .. although I have to say, the F Type looks beautiful
beautiful car thanks for showing --- magnificent !
Love these models, I personally own a 2005 SUPER V8,limited production and special order color SLATE.
Wonderful Jag...you should one of these in your lifetime.
I agree, they are a treat!
One of the coolest cars ever, the ride is absolutely superb!!
👍
I've had my 2004 XJR for going on 12 years, same color combo as yours. 65K on it. Always gets looks and comments.
Stunning car, I want to own one of these cars someday. I've always been a jag man!!!
Me tooooo
I hope you find one for a good price! Very good cars just needs maintenance like any other 20 year old car
Thank you for showing this style of thus Jag. This is the model that I fell in love with it. I use to see an old executive guy who had a driver driving him. Then I have seen a nice older lady in my neighborhood driver her Jag which is all black in color outside and inside. Just a great look elegance. Thanks again for show yours.
Yes, the older lady is cute with her full gray head of hair. Hahaha.. A long with her Jag or her husband's Jag, she looks nice. Hahaha.. Thanks.
Very nice Jag. Unique Look
Beautiful car.
My forever car
Yes great choice
It's stunningly beautiful.
It really is!
@@InternetDude I have a "92 xjs coupe. V12, red. It's mint but someday a sedan.
Magnificent car !!
I agree
Timeless design.
Absolutely
I loved my 2005 XJ8
Thanks for the comment. I don't have this 06 XJR anymore but I do miss it.
That is a nice color. Possibly the best looking Jag in this model . Interior would need to be a light beige for my tastes. This interior is very nice
Makes me super jealous. I have a 1996 xj6, and this looks a million times better
If it makes you feel any better…. I sold the car…
overall great looking car. Owning a 03 x-type for five years and having driven 50k miles, I have the love and hate to jaguar. The look, the handling, how sturdy on freeways, uniqueness, I love it when I look at it from a distance. Daily driving it shows constant breakdown of one thing after another, from coolant leaking, engine overheating due to fan failure, check engine light due to oxygen sensors, minor accident hitting curb at 30 mph speed has caused to issues w tires due to tie rod bent, broken strut, car battery light caused by failed alternator, two years later, the refurbished alternator died on it. Broken lights, I have not fixed the top third break light ever since I had it. Top ceiling liner is falling down in the back seat area. Body paint fades on top, in rear trunk, one day parking on street, someone hit the front driver side door, it took me two years finding the exact color from a jag junk yard. Now the windshield has a crack of a few ft, I feel I may not be able to keep it up.
Maybe it needs to be a Sunday car not a daily commuter.
Maybe I will just keep driving it until it dies or I die.
I hear ya man. Many Jags do tend to need more repairs and maintenance than a Toyota LOL. It sounds to me like an older car that needs some care. If you still like it keep it in good shape and it should last for many more years. Once a person starts to neglect repairs it does change the feel of the car. In the end my Jag was more trouble-free than my Teslas but I drove the Jag less.
Love this car❤️
My dream car
Beautiful!
Yes!!
Thanks.. just bought 2006 xj8L & learned a lot from watching your video, gary
You’re welcome.
Great vid!
😁
It's very, very gorgeous.
It really is!
Beautiful
👍
I owned a 97 XJ6 Daimler for a while and loved her...
These are very high quality cars!
@@InternetDude For sure......bought for very little money and made me feel like a million pounds !!
In the UK we also got a 2.7 V6 turbo diesel. There was also the super luxury Daimler versions. Not Daimler Benz but Daimler of Coventry which jag bought in 1960 and just made ultra luxury Jaguars.
Keep the car! 👍😉
Stunning car! You can't find that "valet" button in any car of that class😅👍!
Nice Car
Great presentation and very informative. Being a 2014 jag Xj8 owner myself learned a lot of things watching this video even though it’s not the same model. Thank you
How reliable is that?
@@yunga8305 never had any major issues so far.. all I make sure if get my oil changed every 5000 miles and every button and system in my Jag works perfectly.
Nice looks new
Beautiful 🚙
I agree
Thank you for the lovely and relaxing review. Like balm on my soul. Lovely.
P. S. Love the way Americans say ALLUMINUM )))
Thanks
Lovely car , air suspension controller you point at is the abs pump , but great presentation , think they will be a future classic
I think they are a classic already... I miss this car in the summer 😉
@@InternetDude hopefully picking up a super 8 this week if all goes to plan, always wanted one
Great car: good stuff✅
Thanks
Actually, I am own a sport 2006 Jag stype myself since 2013 with a personal plate number. The one I am using now is 2006 model after my first 2002 S type. It is really in the drive mostly and the luxury they offer. My Jag is fantastic as always ♥️
Your car is a REAL BEAUTY,you are a lucky guy,I am not able to buy it,but my dreams are there!beautifull car!!
Thanks, I don't have the car anymore but it was an incredible cruiser. If you get a chance to own one some day, do it!!
@@InternetDude Big thank you for answering my comment! I hope that you will make another video when time comes,wih your next car! Have a pleasant Christmas and an happy new year 2021!
Check out my other videos, I have a Lexus LS500 now.
@@InternetDude ok😆✌️
Magnyficentn car .good lector

THAT IS SUCH A GORGEOUS CAR. I think that's my all-time favorite modern post 2000 luxury car, 2004-08 XJR. And the F-Type is one of my top favorite modern sports cars. I'll probably never afford an F-Type and therefore would be happy to settle o nan '04-6 XJR and set aside a substantial amount of money incase the supercharger would have to get redone or the air bag suspension or both as well as other repairs. I recently sold an '04 base XJ8 and am strongly considering an XJR because it may be more sought after on a collector market and it's a British muscle car that can still go 155 mph before a governor would actually cut it out, something the base should've been close to but couldn't because of some "big government". Anyway, if the genuine sports car (F-Type) is too expensive to obtain, then a high performance sedan (XJR) that can do somewhat close to what that true sports car can do is certainly a next best thing.
Cool 😎
Thanks.
Stunning classy
Nothing
x308 and older ftw
Really nice one, How much you asking for this beauty.
Thinking about getting a 2006 XL 8 with 108000 mi very nice car same color and interior as this one on video...If deal works out I'm in..thanks for a clear understanding of this type of Jag
Glad it helped
Beautiful car and very well cared for. I'm sort-of looking for an X350/X351 XJR myself, and this is just lovely. Out of curiosity, what are you asking for it? :)
Its a beautiful car. I am looking to buy a XJR as featured in the video, i want the exact colour also. I'm in the UK, they're rare but not particularly expensive approx $11,000 usd, i plan to buy this year or next year. Normal xj models are extremely cheap starting from under $4000
11:55 i think that’s actually part of the ABS, since I know in the s-type(Lincoln ls in my case) they have the exact same looking module there, but they don’t have air suspension.
Hmmm I think you are right, those look like brake lines...
Love these cars, unfortunately in Canada we can’t drive them as much.
Was this listed on Autotrader? Car/background looks familiar.
It was on Autotrader, with that background.
Love this updated last version, by far the most attractive, just wish they had Japanese reliability .
Funny you say that, my XJR is gone now and I have a Lexus LS500 in it's place ;-) - the looks of the Jag though.... can't be beat!!
i don’t believe the reliability is actually that bad on these, on most of the cars after ford ownership as long as the timing chain tensioners were done, although parts are slightly more expensive to replace than Japanese counterparts
nice, looking jaguar.👍 I, own a 2004, x type 3.0 jaguar racing green sedan tan leather interior
Nice
Thank, you
Beautiful car!
If one day you think to sell it and if the mileage is not very high I would be really interested.
I sold it last year
Hi there, thanks for this informative video. A friend owns one of these with 106,000 kilometres. It is in pristine condition. A dealership in Ontario wants to purchase it. How much do you think is a fair price for it? Thank you.
Hi, the used car market is crazy lately, I really don't know but just guessing that it would be in the $10,000 to $15,000 range Canadian. That's a total guess though, I actually sold this car after putting out the video, and I think I got $14K or so for it (CDN).
Where is your car listed for sale? I had an 04 XJR at one time. Miss it dearly.
Kijiji, Saskatchewan
I have four Jaguars,2000 XJ8,2004 XJ8,2005 XJ VDP,2007 XJ8L Great cars if kept mechanically sound
Have u ever had problem with leaking air strut
@@liboperez5387 change to coil overs on all of my Jags
I love it! Maybe I missed it but why did you decide to sell it?
I had it for a few years and it was time to let it go as I have other cars I want to work on, particularly the 93 Mustang I'm restoring. I'm always working on something and every year I buy or sell something. I sold the Jag and bought another car already this year LOL
Its a Ford key (euro) the whole car is build by ford standards. That's way some buttons look cheap, but they'll never fade (like audi) and the keep working. Really great car! Love to have one. (only in The Netherland I would need a LPG tank in the back to make it affordable)
OK did not know that.
@@InternetDude Jaguar was bought in 1997 by Ford and from then on jags got better electronics. The X-type was based on the ford mondeo, it just looks different and had new engines. The XJ X350 was mostly combined with ford parts so lower cost. Looks a bit cheap, but works always. Perfect car, if i may say so.
Vincent Andriessen yea I have the xtype but I can't afford a rolls Royce or a Bentley so that's what i drive
VIDEO OF A DRIVE PLEAAASE
Lovely car and video. Did you ever sell this big cat?
Yes
InternetDude any regrets? You seem to have a similar approach to cars that I do. I have a good daily but like something interesting as a second car. And I can’t afford to have a second car that will put me in the poor house? Curious if you would recommend the jag after owning one. I appreciate your insite.
I miss the car but don't regret selling. I really didn't drive it enough and I like to change cars every few years (or more often). I would recommend this generation of XJ, yes.
InternetDude thank you. That’s exactly the information I was looking for. Happy motoring!
Going to pick up an 2004 xjr this week. Your videos and responses helped my decision. Thank you.
*☀Great 🌣share🌅Thank you🗺🌞*
hi you stell have the car if yes waht is the price
I have the same version XJR but it has rear screens.
Gorgeous car but I like the non performance version better. With less aggressive wheels and tires.
The non-R would be smoother.
Well, I’m 5 years too late to buy this. I just can’t find one that isn’t tired with high mileage… currently wondering if buying one from Japan is worth trying because of the lower mileage and more cleaner examples to choose from.
perhaps but wouldn't it be expensive to buy from Japan?
@@InternetDude UA-cam is blocking me from posting a link but looking at the Japanese auto classifieds online I’m seeing $13-33k usd for an under 100k kms (the lowest has ~30k kms) xj super v8 LHD 2006-2008 depending on age/condition/mileage
🙌👍💪
I'm a mercedes driver but looking to get same as that car, its just got my attention, does it got only 5 gears? Thanks.
I sold this car a couple of years ago right after making the video but I’m positive it was a 6 speed transmission. It shifted great.
@@InternetDude thank you
Beautiful, I wish they weren't the most unreliable cars on planet earth
😉 have you been watching Scotty Kilmer?? My Tesla has been more unreliable...
@@InternetDude really?? I'm just going off what I read online, people tell me and how they always rank at the absolute bottom for reliability. I want one but I've read so much how they have a lot of problems
The brand is quite bad on the whole. My Jag didn’t have too many issues. I think this generation of Jag is better than the older and newer ones in my opinion.
Most of the higher priced Jags are good cars after 1995 or so. 97 and 98 were particularly good. 2004 was a good year. 2005 models were generally good, but the air ride systems were problematic, and expensive to repair.
They are not!! Considering they are 20 years old mine (XJS,XJ6,S Type) they might all have annoying problems, but they always get you home, at the time we (UK) had the petrol crisis ($7.63 a gallon at the present) in London the XJ12 would struggle to get 5mpg, one of the main reasons these cars got the false label as unreliable when in fact they have been not looked after, the first thing to go is a proper service(they help predict future problems in the future), now as far as the new ones are concerned, they are not Jaguars any more, they look boring have way too much electronics, no class, and where did the beautiful lines go?(that's why I like the S Type its due to the MK2 lines unlike that thing the X Type (someone actually tried to compare the handling of a Subaru and X-Type 4×4 systems) One of the best Jaguars to get(especially with your climate, except Washington lol) is either the XJ6(easy to work on) series 3, or the newer XJ8 with the Jaguar 4.2 (JAG), the S Type R (400bhp)or update an old one like the Ian Callum, s MK2 at $350K or Panzani S Type, its such a shame the new ones don't shout out JAG, I just get a bit frustrated when people call a 20-year-old car unreliable and as far as the new ones are concerned, are they not just the same for that value of car, is a Merc reliable or the Range Rover, either way at the time Jaguar was and still is a fantastic brand, big heavy (2.5 tons) car that can go round corners with grace ,,ps No1 is at the back as I believe its original use was for a plane or was it a boat . Correct me if I am wrong. I would like a go in the new C-X75 but i bet its like most super cars I have driven they are as bumpy as a drive through Hades.... ..Callum-Jag-1_3023255b (Google it) ph-classic-prod-images.s3.amazonaws.com/nimg/38227/JaguarXJX350BG_04.jpg some nice pictures,,,
Looks like a Jaguar.
Unmistakable
What gas ⛽️ for this car? Nice car
Premium fuel only (higher octane)
Xj8에서 젤이쁜조합같습니다
감사
A lot of Ford engineering went into that car and it is still nice for today's standards. Great looking exterior not too fussed about many of the interior aspects.
Due Covid19 , I have not be Abel to drive my Xj8 for 2 months,
I feel Like so much to drive it
Can't you just go for a drive? Restrictions here don't disallow us from going for drives. It gets you out of the house and you don't need to interact with people (unless you need gas).
InternetDude only can drive in Spain cargo , or IF you go to your job , if Police stop me , for sure i'll get a nice ticket 600 ~ 1000 $ 😔 ,
WOW!! I am in Canada, I hear it is a very serious problem in Spain.

I am looking at a 2006 Super V8 that looks clean but has 206000 kms. What do you think a fair price for it would be?
I’m not really sure, it somewhat depends on where you live.
@@InternetDude I am in the Montreal area, and I have noticed the prices here vary widely. Any idea what a fair price should be? Even a price in your area? Any suggestion helps, thanks!
Check AutoTrader.ca and VMRCanada.com for pricing. Just guessing here but I'd say $7,000-9,000.
@@InternetDude Sounds about right, thanks!
I am buying a Jaguar XJ series which doesn't have screens on the back and no window on the top of the car. Can you please tell me the difference between them? Like is it better to buy one with full options or is it better to buy the XJ series which doesn't have such options. Also please can you tell me the difference in prices between those two?
I'm not sure what the price difference would be, find a local used car pricing website for assistance.
@@InternetDude The price difference mean to see the rank of each car, like is the XJ the basic version abd the XJR the full version or are they totally two different cars. I am confused about the place of XJ between XJR and XJ super etc.
ah Kin Super 8 is a Vanden Plas with the XJR supercharged engine, it is the top model.
Compared with the Mercedes S class 2003/2004 which one is most reliable ?
And which one costs less in maintenance ?
Mercedes has a horrendous reliability reputation. I would say the Jag would require less repairs.
@@InternetDude Did you possessed an S class before ? I think it's also a very good car ..
I got an XJ6 before (1996) and an S class...
In terms of technology and engineering and safety the Mercedes is best...
In terms of daily use and maintenance cost I want to have your opinion..as I found an XJ 8 from 2005 with 40.000 kms for 16000 € and I am still hesitating..
Thanks for your advice.
I’ve not owned a Mercedes. Personally I’d go for the Jag. 40,000km is nothing for these cars.
@@InternetDude Thanks a lot...
i cant find this floormat on ebay, can you tips me?
Try using the search term Jaguar XJ 2006 wool floor mats
"Draguar " on the licence plate. I'll leave this one alone
Have you driven many ?
Are you sure about the name of the color? I think yours is Botanica green (non-metallic), not British racing green (metallic)
I’m sure
Does it have the dreaded air suspension?
Yes, but it hasn't ever given me a single problem.
It’ll come soon
The issues
I got a 3.0 black 2006 xtype Jaguar
Nice
you still have this car?
No
Is that engine reliable? and what about the fuel economy
I think the engine is quite reliable, I'm not aware of any known problems with it. I never really tracked the fuel economy but it wasn't spectacular. It's a supercharged V8 after all.
@@InternetDude i'm looking for an used flagship sedan, but It's hard to find one with a nice fuel economy
Where can I get the intake?
I got it from JaguarForums.com search caldoofy
InternetDude how do I purchase it it’s not showing that option
You’re right there is no link to buy. Find the John caldoofy guy and email or message him.
Has it sold?
Not yet
How much are you asking for her
I think the windshield is too big
By about 6 inches too high
it was a lot better if you get rite of the tessla, than get rite of the jag
How much for the xjr ??
It’s gone
