This generation marked a departure from the traditional XJ platform, introducing a completely new aluminum-intensive monocoque chassis for enhanced structural rigidity and weight reduction. The X350, launched in 2003, served as the flagship model, while the XJ6 and XJ8 followed, with the latter sporting a more powerful V8 engine. The XJ's design, penned by Ian Callum, exuded a bold and elegant aesthetic, with a flowing coupe-like profile and distinctive front grille. The interior was equally opulent, featuring high-quality materials, advanced technology, and a focus on driver comfort and ergonomics.

The XJ's advanced suspension system, a combination of double wishbones and multi-link components, provided a balance of ride comfort and handling precision. Safety was also a priority, with features like multiple airbags, stability control, and traction control contributing to overall occupant protection. The 2003-2010 Jaguar XJ, with its blend of luxury, performance, and innovative engineering, firmly established its position as a true grand tourer, capable of both effortless cruising and spirited driving.
