Jaguar XJ Ultimate Now Available In India

The ultimate experience in luxury, refinement and performance is now here as the Jaguar XJ Ultimate makes its arrival to the Indian market. Jaguar XJ Ultimate offers luxurious interior space, which Jaguar says, is comparable to a private jet cabin. Based on the long-wheelbase XJ, the Ultimate also offers other amenities such as bespoke champagne chiller mounted between the two rear seats.

Jaguar XJ Ultimate is being offered with two engine options, which are the V8, 5.0L supercharged Ultimate LWB and the 3.0L Diesel Ultimate LWB. The petrol version is priced at INR 18,796,544, while the diesel one is priced at INR 17,824,481 (excluding taxes). The V8 generates 510PS of power and a peak torque of 625Nm.

Jaguar's flagship model has a body made entirely from aluminium. Changes made to the current model include a redesigned lower front air intake, which is now done in chrome to match the trademark Jaguar front grille, while white LED daytime running lights adorn the headlamps.

Other notable exterior features include the bespoke 20 inch Maroa forged alloy wheels and the new stainless steel oval tailpipe finishers. The rear of the car and the front fenders also sport the ‘XJ' nameplate, with the ‘Ultimate' badge.

On the inside, the XJ Ultimate offers wood veneer trims made from straight ebony that mimic the form of classic wooden-hulled power boats. Furthermore, the clock mounted in the dashboard is also unique to the model with a brushed aluminium face, embossed lozenge detail and ‘spun' bright finish.

The XJ Ultimate is offered in three interior colourways for the sumptuous leather that covers virtually every surface and is also used for the headlining; Jet on Jet, or Ivory seats and lower surfaces with either Mineral or Bordeaux uppers.

A full-length, leather-trimmed centre console separates the two individually tailored rear seats which feature power adjustment, ventilation, massage and lumbar functions. A table, machined from solid aluminium with piano-black and chrome detailing, rises up from the centre console at the touch of a button to provide a working area, its role supplemented by the provision of two third-generation iPads with wireless keyboards that are housed in bespoke leather-trimmed docks in the rear of the front seats.

Special emphasis has been provided towards rear passenger comfort. Rear seats offer power recline and four-way lumbar adjustment functions. The comfort levels offered by the seats are enhanced through the inclusion of on-demand massage, heating and cooling functions.

The highlight of the interior has to be the bespoke champagne chiller mounted between the two rear seats. This Jaguar says, cools the bottle to what experts agree is the perfect temperature before ‘presenting' it forwards when the chiller is opened. Two specially commissioned champagne flutes reside in a purpose made cabinet beneath the centre table.

In terms of electronic amenities, the XJ Ultimate provides two eight inch displays at the rear of the front seats. These can display inputs from a number of sources; the DVD player, digital TV tuner or an external media player that can be synced through the Rear Media Interface, which provides USB and RCA connections. Sound can be provided through the wireless headphones, allowing each passenger to watch separate entertainment sources.

The rear seat environment, including the entertainment, is managed by a wireless controller housed in the centre console and which also allows passengers to alter their individual climate zones and seat heating and cooling functions.

In car audio experience comes from British ultra-premium audio experts Meridian. The audio system consists of a 15-channel amplifier, and 20-loudspeaker system, featuring Meridian's unique digital sound processing technology that allows every person travelling in the XJ Ultimate to enjoy a musical experience that places them in the centre of the sound field.
