2006 NY Auto Show
The XJ range expands to six distinct model derivatives. Apart from the short-wheelbase XJ8 and supercharged, high-performance XJR, the XJ line-up is made up of the exceptionally spacious long wheelbase models – the XJ8 L, Vanden Plas, Super V8 and new Super V8 Portfolio.
The long wheelbase XJs offer exceptional rear seat legroom while retaining the dynamic character, style and everyday drivability of the standard wheelbase XJ.
To add the required extra space and equipment, while retaining the dynamic character, the style and the everyday drivability of the standard wheelbase XJ, Jaguar increased the original wheelbase by 5 inches to 124.4 inches, and overall length by the same amount to 205.3 inches. That makes the XJ Long Wheelbase the longest car in its premium sedan class.
