The Jaguar X350, produced from 2003 to 2009, marked a significant shift for the British luxury marque. This generation of the XJ sedan, internally known as the X350, was the first to be built on a completely new platform, dubbed the "aluminum intensive architecture." This innovative design, utilizing a mix of aluminum and steel, resulted in a substantially lighter car compared to its predecessor, the X308. This weight reduction contributed to improved handling and fuel efficiency, a key concern for a large luxury sedan in the early 21st century. The X350 also brought a more modern design language, featuring a sleek, aerodynamic profile with a prominent grille and distinctive wraparound headlights. Inside, the cabin offered a luxurious and spacious environment, featuring high-quality materials and advanced technology for the time, such as a touch-screen infotainment system and a comprehensive range of driver-assistance features. The X350 was initially available with a range of V8 engines, including a 4.2-liter naturally-aspirated engine and a supercharged 4.2-liter unit offering significantly more power. Later, a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine was added to the lineup, catering to fuel efficiency and lower running costs. This engine proved popular, further bolstering the X350's appeal. The X350 was offered in various trim levels, including the base XJ, the sportier XJR, and the extended-wheelbase XJ L, providing customers with a choice to suit their individual needs and preferences. Despite its success, the X350 faced some criticisms for its reliability issues, particularly with the complex electrical system and various electronic components. Nonetheless, the Jaguar X350 remains a stylish and capable luxury sedan, and its innovative aluminum architecture paved the way for future Jaguar models, contributing to the brand's resurgence in the luxury car market.
