2013 Jaguar XJ gets New Supercharged V6 and Standard 8-Speed Auto Across the Range



Having teased us about some of the goods that will come with the 2013 model year XJ at the Beijing Auto Show in April, Jaguar has now officially revealed its updated limousine.

For starters, don't go looking for any styling tweaks on the 2013MY XJ as there are none. Instead, Jaguar placed its focus on improving the XJ's powertrain, chassis and equipment features.

One of the most significant upgrades is the presentation of the Jaguar-Land Rover Group's brand-new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that replaces the naturally-aspirated version of the 5.0-litre V8, and which will also be used on the upcoming F-Type roadster.

In the XJ, the force-fed V6 produces a maximum output of 335hp (340PS) and peak torque of 450Nm (332 lb-ft) allowing for a 0-60mph sprint time of 5.7 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds) and a combined fuel economy of 30mpg UK (9.4lt/100km or 25mpg US).
