Jaguar XJ – The Best Green Luxury Car on the Market!
|
|
It’s official – the Jaguar XJ is the best green luxury car you can buy in the market today.
That’s according to this year’s What Car? Green Awards when Jaguar won the Luxury Car category with its XJ 3.0 Diesel V6 Luxury model.
The all new Jaguar XJ 
The verdict of the What Car? judges was: "In a class dominated by understated design, the Jaguar XJ’s styling takes your breath away. It’s powerful yet athletic, imposing yet sleek. No other luxury car gets as much attention for the way it looks. You’ll enjoy driving the XJ an awful lot more than most of its competition, too. The Jaguar XJ is stunning, in every sense of the word."
But it wasn’t just the way it looked that swayed the judges, other distinguishing features include the most advanced, powerful and efficient Jaguar powertrains ever. The Jaguar XJ is constructed using Jaguar’s aerospace-inspired aluminium body technology, which makes the XJ lighter than its rivals by at least 150kg which all helps to significantly improve performance, handling and economy, while delivering increased strength, refinement and safety.
Jaguar’s green credentials weren’t just judged on the XJ’s CO2 output but the vehicle’s complete life cycle as well as the fact that it uses around 50 percent recycled material in the body, and plans are in place to increase that figure to 75 percent. This alone creates a saving of three tonnes of CO2 per vehicle, compared to a bodyshell made from new aluminium.
Spectacular emissions figures of CO2 is just 184g/km, while NOx is an equally impressive 0.142g/km, all helped secure the Jaguar XJ its green award. Of course, this means company car drivers pay tax at just 28 per cent of the Jaguar’s price, less than most of the XJ’s rivals.Powered by the 3.0-litre AJ-V6D turbodiesel, the XJ delivers an impressive combined economy figure of 40.1mpg and CO2 emissions of 184g/km.
