Model history

The Jaguar XJ of the X308 series was produced from 1997 to 2003 and represented the final stage of development of the XJ40 platform, which had been in production since 1986. Technically and visually advanced, it introduced the modern AJ V8 engine to the XJ series for the first time and continued to rely on the proven Jaguar-typical independent rear axle concept for high driving comfort. As the successor to the X300, the X308 combined classic British design with contemporary technology, marking the end of an era within the traditional XJ model series.
