What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series appreciate its blend of luxury and performance. Many drivers highlight its comfortable ride, powerful engine options, and stunning design. However, some note that maintenance can be expensive and that modern features like backup cameras are missing, which can be a drawback for some shoppers."
Finally got an XJ! 4.2 V8, but the aluminium body makes it no heavier on fuel than my previous 3.0 V6 X Type. Hit the sport button and this car really shifts. Big and comfy, superb handling. It's a big car but it somehow shrinks around you when you drive it. I'm in love!
January 16, 2013The “X350” generation of the flagship Jaguar XJ was introduced in 2004, and it was one of the BEST luxury sedans of all time. This generation of the XJ combine classic Jaguar style, a beautiful interior, and the all-aluminum body makes the X350 lighter than its competitors. Engine options ranged from a naturally-aspirated 4.2 liter V8 with 294 horsepower, to a supercharged 4.2 liter V8 with 400 horsepower.
June 9, 2022Ferociously fast, hugely comfortable, and enjoyably understated, the XJR never ceases to surprise and impress me with its blend of traditional Jaguar styling and contemporary engineering. The aluminium body makes it remarkably agile for a big car, and motorways are dispatched with disdain. It's not a cheap car to maintain with 20" wheels, enormous brakes and a thirst for petrol, but it is undoubtedly entirely worth the investment.

January 24, 2010The x350 Jaguar XJ & XJR is by far the last of the iconic Jaguars. These 2004-2009 Offer similar features as cars made in 2022.
October 3, 2021It rides like the large, comfortable sedan that it is. But it accellerates, brakes and handles like a sports car. No compromise of either. The best combination of the two Ive ever experienced.
March 10, 2021This car is wonderful to own. It's a classic and elegant automobile, it's not a car per se! Great performance and handling. Extraordinary comfort at all speeds. Not for everyone as it's maintenance cost can be a serious drawback unless you strictly follow the maintenance schedule. I love it!
March 13, 2015I like the power yet the comfort and feel of the car. Handles curves very well and engine is very strong.i like the luxury and feel of the jaguar family.great family car as well and fun to drive. Compared to other cars i would say jaguar is 10 steps above the rest.
June 22, 20142004 XJ8 - great ride! Impressive, great looks. Runs like a champ. Power galore. Big V8 engine gets off of the line in a hurry and can move around corners like a sports car. Impress your friends and drive a Jaguar.
June 2, 2011We bought this car 3 months ago. Fantastic travelling car. Sooooo much value for the money when you buy these used. Own one of the classic luxury barges appointed in leather, and wood, loaded for less then a new chevy midsize.
April 15, 2008As soon as I start driving this vehicle, I felt special, because of the handling, the sporty joy of driving and the luxury feel. I lost so many years to the unnecessary gas guzzling SUV‘s that I bought. This car feels proper. The gas mileage you get is phenomenal.
