Overview & Reviews
Jaguar's premium sedan receives only minor content changes for 2001. The XJ8 and XJ8 L both receive a six-disc CD changer as standard equipment. The Vanden Plas gets a premium sound system with the CD changer as standard, as well as heated front and rear seats. The navigation system is standard on the Vanden Plas Supercharged. For all models, Jaguar has added a new reverse parking control system and strengthened the chassis with new crush tubes, doors, hinges and steering columns. There are also new exterior colors, a new style of wheel for Vanden Plas models and an optional dealer-installed Motorola Timeport digital phone. Topping things off is a new no-cost scheduled maintenance program that covers four regular service visits under the four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty.
- Classic exterior styling, classic interior styling and materials, supercharged engine in XKR and Vanden Plas Supercharged.
- Somewhat cramped interior dimensions, sparse feature list, aging platform.

lemon - 2001 Jaguar XJ-Series
By Hipexec - May 17 - 2:00 amThis is an overrated, overpriced lemon! My Chrysler Concorde LXi has more features, better climate control, more power, bigger trunk. They sold me the car with Pirelli tires that wore out at 20,000 miles! Little things like it has no compass built-in. It doent go in the snow, and the heat of Phoenix causes it to overheat. Where does it go well? I dont know.
