## The Jaguar XJ (X350): A Symbol of British Luxury, Refined and Evolving

The Jaguar XJ (X350), produced from 2003 to 2010, marked a significant shift for the British marque, moving away from the traditional, boxy design of the previous generation. The X350, with its sloping roofline, elegant curves, and prominent grille, embraced a more modern and sporty aesthetic, while retaining the signature Jaguar grace. This evolution was not just skin-deep; the X350 introduced significant technological advancements, including a new aluminum monocoque chassis for increased rigidity and reduced weight, and a range of powerful and efficient V8 engines, paired with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. The interior showcased a luxurious blend of leather, wood trim, and advanced electronics, further elevating the driving experience.

The X350 offered a variety of trims, catering to diverse preferences. The base XJ included a 4.2-liter V8 with 294 horsepower, while the sportier XJ8 boasted a 4.2-liter Supercharged V8 producing 400 horsepower. The range was further expanded with the addition of a 3.0-liter diesel engine, promising fuel efficiency without sacrificing power. The X350 delivered a refined driving experience, with a comfortable ride and sharp handling, making it a capable cruiser and an exciting performance machine. Beyond its aesthetics and performance, the X350 exemplified the dedication to craftsmanship that Jaguar is known for, with meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the car, from the intricate leather stitching to the sophisticated infotainment system.
