Nice to see somebody also 6 ft 5" showing me why I feel cramped in the rear of every car I have sat in.......apart from a Skoda superb. You have a new subscriber boys😀
Of course it's great - it's a Jaaaaaag. Great looking car. I have an XF 3.0 litre petrol and think that it's gorgeous from EVERY angle.
AWESOME REVIEW GUYS.....VERY MUCH REALISTIC AND PRACTICAL
I have the XJL R 2017 and I love it
have 2013 xjl superchaged when hit start button car will not turn over.checked battery. Would dad cell in battery cause problem?

Fun fact, when you said you weren’t impressed with rear and lights didn’t make it that special. I agree in certain way, however the lights are where they are as when designed they were meant to look like a cat jumping on back or car, then the lights represents the cat claws!

He said the trunk space is awkward as if he wants the victims comfortable before throwing them off the bridge. 😂
I have a 2008 Merc S-class 500L, but an XJL is my next ride.
Best car I’ve ever owned!❤
I love those rims!
I watching this Video from Arizona. I was at Arrowhead mall in Glendale az one day and as I was approaching Macy's and I noticed this car XJL unloading passengers in front of the Mall. I was about 20 ft away and the site of the car took my breath away as it was so long and very white. It was the most elegant car I had ever seen. The problem I had was what the hell was the make of the car? I finally found out it was an XJL I think the (L) is for large. I'm now looking at Craig's list and there is one in Scottsdale AZ. The XJS Portfollo with the V6 engine in silver for $20.000. I will check it out. Do you think "The Sain"t (Roger Moore) would have approve? BTW it was a little difficult to understand you guys talking as your British accent is so thick. Is everyone in Britain a Governor . I say Governor. Bloody alright. Did the British Navy really sink the Bismark? Is Terry Thomas a National Hero. One more thing. I think Queen Elizabeth will easily live to be 200 years old. What a cush job she has.

I think Jerry owns an Audi 😂 The car is my personal favourite amongst the luxury cars. I'm currently saving for one 👍 I'm a bit worried about the diesel muse though. Nice video, the car has flaws but I think it has more character. Anyhow each to their own as they say. Though nobody told Jerry that 😂😏

Xj ultimate vs autobiography? Which one is more luxurious
Is it a 2018 model?
It was a fun drive for me (the viewer) as well!!!!!
Love my jaguar XJl and the 570 miles of range i get which supersedes any EV in America....
I want a Jaguar so bad but It's there reliability issues that keep me from buying one, especially when the closest repair shop that handles Jag's is over 200 km away.
Auto parking in this car should be optional since it’s mainly for chauffeur. 360 camera had a higher chance to be standard than auto parking.
My best Jag the XJ L it is just amazing to drive !!!!
I own an xj , and although it isn’t the most reliable car I’ve owned , it is by far the most special !!

Just because a British company is owned by an Indian doesn't make it an Indian company. If I buy Ferrari tomorrow it wouldn't make it a British company just like that. If I were to buy Indian Oil Corp, it wouldn't become British Oil Corp overnight. Think about it... It would just be (such person, from place irrelevant) owns Indian Oil Corp. You can't take from peoples heritage and legacy and change what you like. But you can buy it sure enough.

t5jerry our hands aren’t tied at all! We reviewed this car as 4 normal blokes being given the keys to an expensive jag. We’ve not been privileged enough to drive (or be driven in) the equivalent German cars. When that day comes we’ll be in a position to make comparisons and form honest opinions about which is best
This car is no more British then India and frankly I'm surprised you blokes (see what I did there) can even claim that this is a Jaguar. Now maybe you guys grew up on the shity side of London and never got to experience true British luxury but I have to say this is a Toyota Camry with fancy headlights. Gone are the rounded individual headlamps in favor of one mounted piece gone are the cat like wheel wells that look like the car is about to pounce on a poor wounded animal searching for a watering hole. The sleek lines, the low stance and the epitome British understated Elegance for this worn-out bar of soap. You should all be ashamed to even attempt to link yourself with the British empire empire that once never saw a sunset. It's a jaguar? Now what a damn fool. No sir it's a worn-out bar of soap.

@@GuysThatDrive my favorite British Jag is every Jag that actually has Jaguar DNA. Meaning of a Jaguar that evolves with time and not massive corporate buyouts. This Jaguar doesn't look anything like a jaguar. Say what you will about other buyouts at least they kept the design with continuity and evolution in mind. It's like they took the brand and redeveloped without any care for past jaguars. There is nothing about this car that makes me think yeah that's a jaguar like at all. Take Cadillac for example. He'll at least they kept the angular design showing off the sharp lines and angular proportions of tail lights and headlights. At least Rolls-Royce has kept the old world coach building intact. You know it's a rolls. Just that but the proportions are odd not just in the shape but the roof line the tail lights the headlamps hell even the grill frankly this Jaguar it's underwhelming to look at and over proportioned, it's sad to see.

What buttons are you taking about specifically? it was a while a go that we had the car, the only thinks I can remember that I wasn’t a huge fan of was that a lot of the cabin controls had to be selected using the infotainment screen instead of having dedicated buttons on the console, heated seats etc.
