Jaguar gives the XF and XJ several significant upgrades for 2013 including a new turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged V6.
The turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 240ps and 340Nm of torque while using 9.3l/100km and it produces 216g/km of CO2 in the XJ.
The supercharged V6 produces 340ps and 450Nm of torque. Fuel economy and emissions for both the XJ are at 9.4l/100km and 224g/km of CO2.
The previous engine lineup of the 5.0 liter petrol V8 in supercharged and naturally aspirated forms, 2.2 liter diesel and 3.0 liter diesel will all be carried over unchanged into the 2013 model year. The only difference is that all V6 and V8 engines get stop/start and the eight-speed automatic.
Other upgrades to the XJ include the availability of the Meridian auto system that had only been available on the XJ Ultimate previously. Now, it will be an option on all cars. The system has two options with either 380w or 825w of power. The top system in the XJ comes with 20 speakers.
The model also gets upgrades to the infotainment systems. They will accept more video file types; navigation now has an ECO Route function, and buyers can store areas through which they do not want the navigation to take them.
Jaguar also retuned the rear suspension of the XJ to make the car more quiet and comfortable.

Since November 2011, the Jaguar XJ is available with two optional packages that make it sportier: Sport and Speed.
Sport Pack
The Sport Pack includes a host of aerodynamic tweaks and is available on all XJ models.
It adds a front splitter, and a bootlid spoiler. These changes have no effect on the car's .29 coeffcient of drag figure. The Sport Pack also blacks out the front grill and adds black mesh to the side openings and lower front air vents. The pack also includes red brake calipers, 20in wheels and split twin exhaust pipes.
With the Sport Pack, the interior gets sport seats with enlarged side bolsters and trimmed in leather. It also adds stainless steel pedals and piano black trim.
