The Jaguar XJ-X308, produced from 1997 to 2003, marked a significant step forward for the British luxury car manufacturer. This generation of the iconic XJ sedan introduced a bold and modern design language, departing from the more traditional lines of its predecessors. The X308 featured a sleek and aerodynamic profile, with rounded edges and a prominent grille that showcased the classic Jaguar leaping cat emblem. This design was a collaborative effort between Jaguar and Italian design house, Pininfarina, and it quickly established the X308 as a stylish and desirable vehicle. The interior boasted a refined and luxurious ambiance, with premium materials, advanced technology, and a focus on driver comfort. Features such as power-adjustable seats, dual-zone climate control, and a premium audio system elevated the driving experience to new levels.
Beneath the sleek exterior, the XJ-X308 was powered by a range of powerful and refined engines. The base model came equipped with a 3.2-liter straight-six engine, while a 4.0-liter V8 engine was available for increased performance. Later in the production run, a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 was introduced, delivering even more power and acceleration. The X308 also offered a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, further enhancing its driving dynamics. Beyond its performance, the X308 introduced a number of innovative features, including a sophisticated electronic stability control system, advanced anti-lock brakes, and a driver-oriented instrument panel. This focus on safety and technology cemented the XJ-X308's reputation as a luxurious and capable vehicle, reinforcing Jaguar's position as a leading player in the premium car segment.
