About the Jaguar XJ X350
The X350 generation Jaguar XJ represented a massive technical leap for the marque, featuring a revolutionary all-aluminium monocoque chassis that was 40% lighter than its predecessor. Despite its conservative, retro-inspired styling, the X350 was a modern engineering marvel, utilizing aerospace-grade bonding and self-piercing rivets. The 3.0 V6 Sport trim offered a more driver-focused experience with firmer suspension and de-chromed exterior trim, though this entry-level engine was never sold in the North American market. It remains a highly regarded modern classic for its exceptional ride quality, provided by its standard self-levelling air suspension.
