New Jaguar XJ – the Configurator

Now the news has died down a little on the new Jaguar XJ – and we’ve done a round-up in our new Jaguar XJ Review – we won’t have much new to say until Jaguar start to let us loose on the actual cars. Which isn’t going to be until towards the end of the year.

But speaking to the guys from Jaguar, they are convinced that – despite its size – the new Jaguar XJ is at least as good to drive as the XF. Which after our Jaguar XFR Review this last week has had us salivating all over again at the prospect!

So we thought we’d let you know that Jaguar has put an online configurator up for the new Jaguar XJ, where you can go and play and configure the Jag exactly as you want it. Surprisingly, especially as we’ve almost always managed to do it with other configurators, it’s hard to come up with a really appalling colour combo. Someone has worked very hard on the colour options and, although some look a great deal better than others, there are no truly dreadful results. Unless you can manage one!

We had a play – who could resist? Starting point had to be the SWB Supersport with some tasty wheels and lots of toys. We managed to spend £88k. If you want to play hop over to the new Jaguar XJ Configurator.

Now where’s the piggy bank gone!
