The XJR already had the braking and handling to go with its performance, and now it’s more involving to drive than ever.
It’s more premium to sit in, too (so long as you’re not expecting it to be spacious in the back). 

The facelift has also yielded a gentle polish-up in terms of looks, and Jaguar’s latest consumer electronics take the in-car entertainment to new levels.
That’s an area in which the XJ’s rivals had stolen a march, so it claws back some valuable territory with a higher-quality display and greater usability than of old. 

The Jaguar XJR will make you think twice about a comparable BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Whether that’s enough to tempt you away from what Merc, Audi and the new BMW 7 Series have to offer is another matter. 

But for what it’s worth at this level, Jag has price on its side – and, more to the point, what your money buys is a luxury super-saloon that’s more sumptuous than ever to drive.
