1996 Jaguar XJ-Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1996 Jaguar XJ-Series express a strong fondness for its luxury, performance, and design. Drivers appreciate the powerful inline six engine, smooth handling, and comfortable interior, often highlighting the elegant wood trim and spaciousness inside. However, some concerns arise regarding fuel consumption and minor electrical issues, which can detract from the ownership experience."
I had one of these back in the day and have regretted selling it for 15 years. The car is long and sexy, even after 20+ years since the last was produced. The inline 6 is a steady power plant that wont leave you wanting. The interior is everything youd expect from Jaguar luxury. The wood on the dash is amazing.
April 14, 2020Sports car deluxe! Fantastic Jaguar XJ6 with all the Vanden Plas premium upgrades! Rides great and looks great! Soft comfortable leather with burl walnut wood trim everywhere! Very sporty ride! A Jaguar sport sedan classic. Takes the corners with ease and performance 4.0L EFI engine!
March 14, 2011Want one of these in black-on-black. An amazing sedan from what I could tell from my brief encounters with the vehicle. Shot from 100kph to nearly twice that in seconds, and wasn't even near maxing out (shhh, that never happened). Auto transmission switches manually like a dream, and the handling was great. It is a Jaguar, however, so I'm sure there would be some electrical issues. I still want one, however.

March 25, 2008Great jaguar, meaning great car. Handles like a dream with great acceleration, well furnished interior makes you very comfortable.
May 13, 2008Jags don't come any bigger than this one. Inside it's like a house lots of leather and room for your legs and that bottle of bubbly. Performance is hard to describe as it all depends on the engine you have and how heavy you press the gas pedal. It's very comfortable handles well and looks great.
January 15, 2012Drove the early V6 version - still an awesome car, very surprised by the acceleration and handling for a car that weighs over 2 tonnes!
January 10, 2008beautiful classic jag. the 93 to 96 have the i6 engine that does not have all the v12 problems from its predecessor
August 6, 2020Great car, good looking, engine very reliable. Wonderful cruising car
February 7, 2022I bought this car out of Texas as a second owner in 2000 and drove it for three years. I sold it to a friend that has a repair shop as a loaner car. It is still used albeit sparingly anymore in that capacity today. Great Jaguar sedan, one of many I have owned and love the way they drive. Mechanical quality is great, but minor issues such as headliner sag and electric switches that break are black marks on an otherwise exceptional auto.
