2017 2018 2019 Music Motors Jaguar XJ Portfolio Luxury Lifestyle JLR Automatic Diesel Review Tom Kent - Авто та транспорт
What do we think? Ideal daily?
Definately need a volvo station besides it
That’ll help. :)
TomKentMusic yes!
Just bought one 2016 Portfolio. Best deal I’ve ever found in my life.
I have had my 2013 Portfolio for three years now and I still grin like an idiot when I drive it. Class, style, performance and economy. Buy one, bet you love it!
I made a prediction 7 years ago to several of my friends - "The XF/XJ/F-Type models would go onto be recognised as design classics in the coming 20 years.
(1) The F-Type is a nailed on successor for the E-Type.
(2) The XF has subtle rear haunches just like the old XJ of the 70s and will age just as well.
(3) The XJ will still look classy and fresh without being brash and in your face with loads of chrome and eye catching bling - -"It's a hand made suit and not off the peg therefore it ALWAYS looks like bespoke quality".
They heartily laughed at me -7 years later they're agreeing with me !!.
PS - I own an XF and it's great looking from ANY angle ,it turns heads wherever i drive it or park it and it's a great conversation starter for girls -they love it's understated looks and charm.
PLUS -IT'S A JAAAAAAAG !!.
the xj has always been at the top of the 'need in my life' agenda, this video isn't making it any easier for me not yet having one. great job mate
Buy one, it’s worth it. New or used you get value and tech! It’s win win.
Take a look at an Jaguar XJ X358
It's bizarre how good the reliability of these XJ's are, not just by JLR standards, but even compared to other flagship lux saloons.
The latest XJ is very reliable
I bought one secondhand out of a salvage yard for $7k. Replacing coolant parts, but before the coolant pipe in the back broke, I love how comfortable, smooth, and sophisticated the car is. Especially the Meridian sound system.
I have a Jaguar XJL. It's more than a pleasure to drive and provides me with a range of 570 miles which supersedes any EV in America. I love my jaguar...
Its amazing how well this design has held up It still looks money even against its competitors that have changed several times in style.
I agree entirely. Shame it’s been discontinued really!
I bought 2014 XJ recently.
Previously had the XF.
The XJ is easily the greatest car I ever drove.
Reliability issues with Cooling system and suspension had me slightly Apprehensive but, the price VS value is worth the repair costs.
This car is like driving your living room...Packed with power as well.
👍
Me too. Currently working on replacing the coolant pipes to aluminum and I love it every time I drive it.
Just picked up my Jaguar XJ R-Sport today, and thank this video for the inspiration. What an absolutely beautiful beast.
Love the way you did this review. Truly real world. That is what I want to see from a car review.
Great video,very informative and well put together,excellent job 👍
Thank you! 👍
Thank you TomKentMusic, this was by far and away the BEST review so far I've seen on You Tube on the Jaguar XJ ....... brilliant, honest, concise .... Thank you again ;-) ;-)
+Malc Waters thanks a lot! :-)
@@TomKentMusic your most & very welcome chief ;-) ;-)
The production value in this review is second to none. A sincere thanks for such a detailed review.
I appreciate that!
I'm not in to big executive cars, at all, but somehow you made this Jag appeal to me. What an amazing edit, beautiful music and pure passion. I can't afford an XJ but if I could you might convince me to buy one.
Maybe it’s time to save up and buy one!
Prices start at around £9,k
Epic video
Thank you
You’ve inspired me Tom, picking my 16 my xj next week 🤩
My grandpa bought one, used it a couple of times and its amazing to drive. Id prefer to have it with AWD and not RWD as he had.
AWD with a V8 would be epic!
UA-cam didn't show me this had uploaded!? Anyway, amazing video, what a superb car. I need to buy one then I guess! :D
Yeah a few people have mentioned that big. Definitely buy one, I want to.
Just purchased this same car. It will be delivered on Monday November 28, 2021. I'm excited... 💝
Love the blue paint on yours
Jaguar's are beast.
Mate! Great sound quality. What kind of microphone you use?
Nicely done video. 👍.
Thanks a lot!
I have been considering buying a XF for my next car, then I’ll see one of these on the road and go oh.... that’s a beautiful machine. Think it will come down to finances, when the time comes
I really hope you could get one sooner or later
Bewtiful mate…. Planning to get one next!:)
Do it! :)
Thanks for this sir, I'm about to change from a 2.0 litre F-Pace and was looking to trade up into a 2nd hand 3.0 litre V6 model. But it seems I can get an XJ portfolio (with the required 3 ltr. V6) plus levels of kit way beyond the equivalent F-pace. Seems strange given the difference in starting price. You said depreciation of 60% from new prices after 3 years, but I've just seen an XJ R sport, 1 year old, with 8k miles for sub £35k??? which is mad. I'm guessing with the imminent model update/change, and the obsession with crossover/suv style cars, now is a good time to be looking at picking off a serious bargain. It will be a daily drive so it was good to hear your thoughts on the practicalities as well as the obvious emotive reasons
Been my daily since I bought in 2013. Only ever getting rid if something stupidly expensive goes wrong or I win the lottery.
It really is an amazing and beautiful car I'm impressed with that fuel economy I daily a Rover 75 2.5 v6 petrol it struggles to get more 32mpg on the the motorway thing have really changed in 10 years
I daily that's same car and engine too (with a V8 front bumper upgrade) Going to change the rover for a 2006 Jaguar Xj 4.2 V8 sport
I have one, agree with every word you said.
Very jealous! I want to own one myself now...
Nothing can embrace beauty, style and charm like a Jaguar XJ. Love at first sight. BTW when you own something this gorgeous I suppose you don't really care about fuel economy.
Dream car for me 😊
Me too!
Great review and always lovely to see others appreciating the XJ style. My 2010 3.0D portfolio is running like a dream at 105k miles now with plenty more to go!
That’s probably good for 500k on the clock. I love the XJ style that’s for sure.
Would you recommend XJ diesel , reability and quality overall compared to 730/40d f01
@@147NITRO quality, overall and driving, XJ every time. Reliability I'd say is similar, i've heard horror stories from both, but you have to be prepared for these things with a car that retailed near £90,000gbp. I had a few niggles around the 110k mark but still the best bang for your buck for that level of car on the used market.
@@JordanNaylor yeah but i mean those(jags) are rare and its parts are hard to find, where as 740d without too much electornic stuff is a reliable car and parts are easier to come by because it shares many with F10 F30... i dont know much about jags, a beamer guy here but damn that XJ looks good and seems to be good quality inside too different type of thing, i also know that jaguars tend to rust easier than germans...
I’ve got a 7 year old XF without even the slightest sign of rust. Same goes for a neighbour with their 11 year old XJ, no rust at all.
The engine on my 2014 jaguar XJL died at 126K miles. (All routine and regular maintenance performed meticulously). The dealership said I could get a new engine for $25,000. I spent over $13,000 in repair and maintenance in the three years I had this car. Now I have a 4100 pound paperweight in my driveway.
Oh wow, that’s not great. Petrol or diesel?
What caused it to die? Did it overheat?
My 2014 XJ just turned 30K miles ,I worry about the car overheating due to waterpump failure. Oil & filter every 3K miles, Am I right to be concerned.
Hi Tom,
First of all cheers for the great review!
secondly, I am glad another Musician fella is on Jag!
thirdly, when you mentioned that this car seems and looks like money. my personal perception has always been like this Jag looks and seems like "The beast you are not going to fuck with.."
4, I would love to ask about a few specific things regarding driving/owner wise.:
1, Night visibility and driving during the night/ dark/ late evening, how convenient and comfortable you felt even at parts where you have had really dim conditions ahead of you.
2, using and the actual usage of rare and front parking camera and camera system in all.
Cheers mate,
regards,
Marshall,
I think a Jag is a proper musicians car, that’s why I personally own an XF! The XJ definitely looks not to be messed with, equally it looks mega luxurious too. Driving at night is no issue, brilliant visibility all right - fantastic headlights - a really lovely cabin too. The surround view camera system is superb, however to use the front camera it isn’t always as simple as the reverse camera. Equally, when parking, it’s easy to select them all. Getting out of a junction requires a little digging in a menu, however it’s easy enough. I wouldn’t rely on the front camera for junctions though - just to give you a rough idea of what’s going on.
I just wish they could have continued with the production.
Me too. :(
Greetings from New York, USA! Great Video, Friend! Wondering how much headroom there is for a tall driver. I am 6'3, & most cars with moon roofs, have me scraping the top of my head lightly on the head liner. (quite irritating). Anything you could share would be great! Good health & Happiness to you!. Thank You.
It can feel a little restrictive, however without sunroof you’d get more headroom. Go and try one, see if it’s suits your driving position.
I own one and I’m 6’3. It’s fine.
That fuel consumption is absolutely amazing! They've aged very nicely, with some excellent used examples for not much money.
It shocked me too. Even at worst it was still acceptable, especially when you considered the car. I’m searching auto trader high and low currently for one. :D
Bentley continental supersport 700hp
Mercedes s65 final edition
Jaguar xjr
Cadillac cts v3
Those are my fav luxury whips
Thoughtfully swarm loaded extra
My ultimate car
Does it have double glazing, like some German competitors from the same segment? 50mpg cruising around national speed limits is great for a car this big. What car would you say has better sound deadening? XJ, S class, A8 or BMW 7?
Yes, every piece of glass is laminated.
I've put a deposit down on a late 2012 portfolio that only has 16000 miles and one owner from new. They want £18900 which I'm prepared to pay but I'm gonna see if I can get it for £18000. It has a full Jag service history up to 2020 when the owner stopped driving it. I havent seen it yet IRL only pics but I'm seeing it in 2 days.
bravo 🐆
I own a 2012 XJ Portfolio with a B & W sound system which is very good, but never having listened to the Meridian system I can't say which is better. Incidentally, the X351 was in production from 2010 to 2019, not 2008/2009 which was the X358(old shape), and personally I think a better car all-round in as much that the electronic/electrical system and switchgear were all reliable Ford products. You only have to visit a Jag forum to see how many owners suffer with electronic/electrical problems to realise that JLR got it big time wrong, and this is sad because had they got it right by subcontracting the electronic/electrical work to a Japanese company the car would have been head and shoulders a better ride! Please do not misunderstand,...I love Jaguars, always have since childhood and my XJ is my third Jag, but I just think that as a company they have lost their way big time!
Can you disable the Stop/Start feature?
Yes, there’s a button for that. :)
@@TomKentMusic Thanks for the reply. Fantastic. I rented a Jaguar XJ for my ride to the Airport and I fell in love with it. The ride is really smooth and the car feels so solid and luxurious
Robert Halili it’s a superb machine, looking forward to the next generation! :)
In my opinion, Jaguar’s design was the last aesthetically pleasing on the market. The new iteration of BMW for example is not, likewise all of the Asian manufacturers’ contributions.
How quiet or silent is the XJ's diesel engines. And which one is much better diesel or fuel engines?
XJ diesel is quiet on the inside and makes little noise outside too. I prefer the diesel, however a petrol V8 wouldn’t be a bad option either.
@@TomKentMusic Thanks for your quick response. But how about the reliability of the both diesel and petrol engines,what do you think?
I would say both are equally reliable, perhaps the diesel is slightly more reliable actually. It’s a JLR engine, used in multiple models etc.
I am in love XXXXX
Does this car come with Apple car play and Android auto?
Sadly not as standard. :(
Is this test xj a disel?
Yes! :)
Where would you want to be? Behind the wheel!
What is the music?
This was such a while ago, I cannot remember. :(
Like the content and I will subscribe if you ditch the sunglasses...😎
I’m so utterly squinty without them in sun, it’s even worse! But I will try...
I bought a used 2011 DJ with 48k mi on it at 70k I rebuilt the suspension and now I'm needing to do it again. The sunroof will break on you so dont use it! But it is a BEAST I beat a ton of hot rods and corvettes bitch is a Leaper!
RIP XJ

doug and mike said it
If that is a 2019 model then why has it got a 2017 plate
Yes, there does seem to be something odd going on here. The interior seems to be that of a 2019 model, the most obvious giveaway being the larger screen in the centre of the dash which, as I understand it, wasn't introduced until 2019.
I really want to by this car over a bmw 5 series. Im just worried about reliability of this beast.
They seem very reliable. I own an XF and have (touch wood) had no issues.
@@TomKentMusic hey would you be able to do a review on bmw 5 series f10 model?
Unfortunately, because it’s not currently being produced by BMW, I wouldn’t be able to. I’m trying to get hold of the newest generation 5-series though!
I prefer the older body style. It just looks classier. This isn't bad, and obviously every car is starting to look either like a sports car, an Asian import or an American muscle car, but I just wish luxury cars would be luxury cars again. This and the Genesis are the only ones who seem to at least be attempting to maintain some semblance of what a luxury car is. I don't care how it handles. Can I get out of a parking lot without a problem? Great. A luxury car should look like a luxury car and be comfortable, smooth and soft. Unfortunately, those cars are on the way out and instead we've got "luxury" cars that have a rough ride and lots of tech and toys, if a manufacturer offers a sedan at all. I wish Jaguar's reliability had improved over time, because they'd be my first choice.
Shame you didn’t say what engine is fitted!

Depreciation is your friend unless you bought one new lol. I ended up with XE as super efficient I getting real world 52.4 mpg without even trying. Edit please don't fall asleep 😐
What year and for how much? I plan on buying an XJ in 2 years. Hoping to get a 2017 for under 25k
@@caelenow2829 about 18 months ago for just over 10k GBP. 65 reg (H2 of 2015) You can get higher milage ones for 7k now though
Sounds like a bargain!
I got one new 😞
Good informatin absolutley terrible music. When iim listening to a documentry i DO NOT! NEED MUSIC. to me its so annoying..
